Bonn noted that in the year Since Deluxe Video's original release, the program has found widespread use in business, education, and the media. "We've heard of people using it to generate sales presentations, video slide shows, point-of-sale videos, animated commercials, video storyboards for ad agencies, and educational videos. Smaller TV stations are saving thousands of dollars by using it as a low-cost character generator. And home users tell us they enjoy adding special effects to their own home video productions. It's opened up a whole new world of creativity that used to be available only to professionals in the video business."
