Windows AAPLAY
8 messages in this thread
Doug,
Have you looked at SoftCraft Presenter? We can play CD audio, WAV and MIDI
simultaneously. We support AAPLAY and therefore incorporate FLI/FLC files
in our presentations. We can NOT synchronize the timing of a WAV file to a
frame within a FLI file, however.
The product is a powerful presentation graphics product with strong
multimedia capabilities. We offer a 60 day money-back guarantee so you
don't have to add to your $3000 total of "dead" software!
I'd be happy to answer any questions and help you to assess whether
Presenter would fit your need.

Robert,
Yes I am very interested in learning about SoftCraft Presenter. Let
me know the price and where to go for more info. I appreciate the lead.
–Doug Boyd
Presenter is available directly from SoftCraft for $595. (60 day money back
guarantee). You can call 800-351-0500 (or 608-257-3300) for additional
info or feel free to ask me via CIS.
Another brief summary: SoftCraft Presenter is a next-generation
presentation graphics program for Windows 3.x. It uses the now common
paradigm of outline and template. You can quickly create a stunning
presentation by typing in or importing an outline and selecting a template.
Graphs are easily incorporated by using included datasheet and either
typing in, importing or linking to data.
An underlying constraint management system and an open graphics language
provide great power. Intelligent DataPictures and clip art take advantage
of this unique technology to provide automatic animation and artistic
graphs.
Presenter fully supports inclusion of FLI/FLC animations, full-motion
video, WAV/MIDI/CD sound etc.
In general, Presenter looks a lot like a good presentation graphics product
and is therefore easy-to-use, but it extends the presentation to include
multimedia in an easy and natural manner thus making it much more
accesible.
maybe that wasn't so brief, but I hope it helps.

Hmmm. SOunds like a lot of money for about half of what Animation Works
gives for $395. Can you compare presenter more with an animation product
than slide show program? Perhaps I am being misled. Also, feel free to
continue this inthe animation section of COMART forum. I'm not sure Adesk
wants to fill its forum with non-Adesk stuff…
Just to wind up the discussion … I am not familiar enough with Animation
Works to give you a feature comparison. SoftCraft Presenter is a
presentation graphics product and, therefore, its feature set is mainly in
the presentation graphics area. It happens to have an interesting set of
animation features, particularly in the area of data-driven animation, and
the ability to incorporate animations, sound and video produced with other
products.
I'd be happy to discuss your personal needs in more detail through phone
(800-351-0500) or Email.
Bob
Robert,
Presenter sounds great and looks ideal for my application of
Corporate presentations. Incidently, today I received a new disk from
Mathematica Tech Support and Tempra Show now works. I hope this means that
multimedia is finally getting established as real product. I look forward
to the opportunity of acquiring Presenter.
–Doug Boyd
Multimedia has certainly received a lot of press attention. We are excited
about the bridging potential of products like Presenter that finally make
it easy for business presenters to create business-oriented multimedia
presentations.
Bob
