Free Stone screensaver
Stone Design has released Videation Nation 1.0, a new screen saver that turns a Mac into a "psychedelic morphing movie machine." Created to run natively on boht Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, Videation Nation takes full advantage of Apple’s newest computers and either the built-in iSight cameras or any other attached digital camera. “Videation Nation is free and fun, and demonstrates the amazing power and flexibility of our realtime video effects program Videator. You don’t need Videator to enjoy Videation Nation, but you can infinitely expand what this new screen saver can do if you do have Videator.”
The company's Videator, available now for $50, provides an intuitive and easy to use interface for Mac OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) Core Image and Core Video technologies, giving both home users and video professionals instant access to over 108 effects, transitions, and filters.
It allows users to layer movies, images, paint, music and text over video, as well as apply, modify, and re-order multiple effects to achieve subtle enhancements or astounding artistic results. In addition, users can crop, scale, rotate, flip, skew, change exposure and brighten video in realtime, and then save these effects for use in Videation Nation.
