MovingPicture 3.0: still image animation
updated 12:25 pm EST, Mon March 4, 2002
StageTools has released MovingPicture 3.0, its still image animation software, adding motion-blur, timeline scrubbing, multi-image Flash output, increased performance, and a host of productivity enhancements as well as OS X compatibility for After Effects (and other apps as Carbonized versions of the host applications become available). Designed for documentary and industrial filmmakers to pan and zoom on high-resolution images, the application takes scanned images up to 4,000 pixels and allows for perfectly repeatable pans and zooms directly from a Windows or Macintosh computer or as a plug-in to most nonlinear editors. A demo of the plugin for After Effects, Avid, Final Cut Pro, Media 100, and Premiere is available online. It is $200.
