MediaMixer
Without any programming skills, MediaMixer allows the average computer user to produce and distribute his or her own interactive multimedia presentation. You just have to assemble pictures, videos, sounds, texts, animations by filling in a grid with 61 lines (to insert multimedia files) and 20 columns (events order). Pages may also contain panoramas, hot zone, links, characters or html pages (on line or off line). Various options allow you to add interactivity (open, close, go to, print, launch application, launch internet...), transition effects, filters to each element... Each project can be viewed in three perspectives: - grid - storyboard (thumbnails) - full screen (positioning). In just a few clicks, you could create a multimedia presentation (one single file) without prior programming knowledge. Then, you can freely create (one single executable file) and distribute on CD-ROM or by email your presentations (300 ko minimum) requiring no previous installation. With MediaMixer, you could : - Make a multimedia album with pictures (jpg,bmp,ico,wmf,gif), sounds (wav,mp3,mid), videos (avi,mov,mpg) or animations (gif,bmp,jpg). - Create and send ecards for Christmas or Halloween - Create picture projections. - Transfer your book to a CD-ROM - Virtual visits to locations - Provide technical explanations (tutorial...) - Create a product catalog - Present a new product and do emailings - Create a sales leaflet - Make characters speak (ch Our Review: I've seen a few shareware 'multi-media studios' in my time but very few have been as comprehensive and as fun as MediaMixer. Resembling one of those old computer game creating kits, MediaMixer consists of a grid onto which you simply stick all your images, videos, sounds and text as well as the various actions they perform (whether it be loading new images, opening a new page, linking to the web, playing sounds - it's really up to you). Surprisingly simple to use, I managed to create and compile a simple multi-page page presentation filled with sounds and images in a matter of minutes. With more time and a little more practice (the context-specific help is superb!) MediaMixer, with all it's animated transitions and hot-zones, is capable of producing some very professional projects indeed. So if you are itching for something a little more advanced than your standard slide-show software, or want something a little more interactive than Powerpoint then Media Mixer is for you. Highly Recommended.
