MULTILAYER – Digital Layering, Compositing & Effects Tool for the Amiga ———- Prime Software announces the release of MultiLayer, the long awaited digital layering, compositing and effects tool for the Amiga. Unlimited layering of motion video or stills with a full timeline/ editing interface has been made simple. Multiple sequences of graphics and video can be composited using 6 keying types. Supports NoahJi's VLAB Motion and DPS PAR systems for 30 frames/second or 60 fields/second 24-bit playback. Just a few of the tools available: -Full cut, paste, swap, match-cut and many other pro editing tools integrated into a digital layering & compositing environment. -Complete control over text, shadows, images , transparencies & more! NOT A MACRO OR SCRIPT GENERATOR! NO AREXX NEEDED! -Unlimited layers of 32-bit fully-digital compositing with changeable layer priorities and interaction. Layers can overlap each other and change depth priority at any point in the timeline. -Current keying & layering types include Zero-Black, Image Mapping, Luminance, Chroma, Chroma-Range and Alpha. -Timeline interface allows powerful individual frame, sequence or layer control with precise positioning in time & space. -Resolution Independence permits layering and input/output in ANY resolution from lo-res previews or anims to D1 Digital Video to full film resolutions in excess of 4000 x 4000 pixels. Real time previews of all layers in ANY resolution in a resizable, scalable window. -Automatic generation of alpha images during layering for layers (if needed). -Layers may be still images such as IFFs, JPEGs, Framestores or moving sequences of digitized full-motion 30 fps video with support for NoahJi's VLAB Motion and DPS Personal Animation Recorder for input & output. Includes support for 24-bit Framebuffers. -Layers can move over time using linear or non-linear movement with acceleration and deceleration. All projects savable for future use. -Layers can fade in and out & dissolve over any user-defined time using variable amounts of transparency. -Individual layers may be disabled or enabled at any time during use to facillitate alternate versions of projects. -Different FX can now be performed on each layer! Any combination of effects can be performed on any layer in the project using your own scripts. ————————————————————————– MultiLayer currently lists for $129.95, but until September 1, 1994 either version can be purchased directly from Prime Software for $89.95 plus $4.00 shipping and handling in the continental US.
