Here’s why you bought that digital camera!
NEW StillMotion Creator PE
Now Multimedia slide shows, CD-Rom & Web pages can be created
with one click
Washington, DC – January 17, 2003– ImageMatics Corp., an
award-winning multimedia software developer here, has launched
StillMotion Creator Personal Edition (PE) to personal digital
camera users as well as businesses that want to easily create
compelling image intensive presentations of their product and
service offerings. The StillMotion Creator PE is powerful
multimedia software that maximizes the potential of digital
photography to the broadest user base. The simple interface and
point-and-click environment provide both photographers and business
executives a wide range of visual effects and output media.
“We made presenting and sharing your images easy and universal,”
said Bill Strum, president and CEO of ImageMatics Corp. “Now, you
can send animated slide shows to family and friends, or distribute
presentations via e-mail, CD-Rom or the web, all from the same
source with a single menu click.”
StillMotion PE’s ability to have individual soundtracks and text
labeling (text and audio captioning) associated with each slide
addresses instructional and tutorial applications. It also helps
companies meet ADA federal regulations. Early adopters of the
product include real-estate brokers who now have an inexpensive and
simple alternative to create royalty-free virtual tours and support
a $100 million annual real estate Internet presentation market.
School systems are creating educational slide shows.
With StillMotion PE, a user can create a Web page instantly, an
auto installing screen saver, an auto-play CD-ROM, output SWF files
for web and Flash applications and generate a self-extracting slide
show that can be e-mailed with its own intrinsic player. Screen
savers and other on-screen multimedia presentations are simplified
for easy sharing and swapping of photos, or to create visual
tours. ImageMatics puts no restrictions on commercial use of its
output so the functionalities are ideal for either home use or
business needs.

“Anyone with visual information to convey will be able to make
presentations that educate, persuade or entertain the product
simply works,” said Strum. “Because of its ease of use and low
cost, $49.95 MSRP, digital camera enthusiasts are also creating
family albums of trips and events that rival those available from
the pros. StillMotion Creator PE is a creative imaging tool that
can be successfully wielded by both professional and personal
users.”
The product sales to multimedia producers are also brisk – with
customers including television stations, Fortune 500 and
government agencies that need multimedia storyboards but may have
only limited resources.
“ImageMatics listened to all the user requests they received for a
simpler program focused solely on slide show creation and the
result is the new StillMotion Creator PE (Personal Edition)
program,” said industry analyst Dave Etchells from ‘Imaging
Resource’.”
Strum added: “We are pleasantly surprised by the business
applications: trade show presentations or virtual shows,
merchandising, in-store demonstrations, real estate tours, and of
course, professional photographers are finding the product
indispensable.”
