IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Aquafadas announced today the availability of MotionComposer version 1.6. A visual-based authoring and effects tool, MotionComposer lets users easily create professional HTML5 and Flash-based animations and interactive content. New update adds support for audio; optimized engine generates animations compatible with the latest generation of browsers using HTML5.

Montpellier, France - Aquafadas announced today the availability of MotionComposer version 1.6. A visual-based authoring and effects tool, MotionComposer lets users easily create professional HTML5 and Flash-based animations and interactive content. "MotionComposer 1.6 gives everyone, not just developers, the unlimited ability to create web and eBook animations that can run on any device or browser - without writing a single line of code," says Claudia Zimmer, CEO, Aquafadas. "Users of all skill levels are free to create engaging animated content for their websites, blogs, and self-published eBooks easily with MotionComposer. And the latest version opens up even more possibilities, now providing multiple export options and the ability to add in audio, making for even more interesting web content."

New Features and Key Benefits of MotionComposer 1.6 -

Add Sound to Your Animation:
Users can import audio files into their web animations by simply dragging and dropping in audio files directly from iTunes. Audio can be adjusted to the animation within the state and slide workspace. Animations become more engaging with the accompanying sound.

The Most Optimized Rendering Compatible with the Latest HTML5 Technology:
Compatible with the latest generations of web browsers, including Chrome and Internet Explorer 10, MotionComposer's newly optimized engine generates code for users that will run smoothly in all browsers using the latest HTML5 technology. Rendering is faster than ever for clean, crisp animations.

An Intuitive User Interface:
Unlike other animation software, MotionComposer does not employ the use of complicated timelines. Its simple-to-use interface features the concept of "slides" and "states," where each slide is a state of the global animation. With a clear, easy to understand workspace, users can see all the elements of their animation and positions at a glance.

Export Options Ease the Distribution Process:
Users can now designate the animation destination directly through the export options. Creating material for blogs, websites, self-published eBooks and more is as simple as clicking a button. Animations for eBooks are published as widgets that can be imported into iBooks Author, Apple's digital publishing program. Animations are tailor-made for whatever platform they're viewed on.

Never Write a Single Line of Code Again:
When it comes to web animations, MotionComposer does all of the heavy lifting. MotionComposer has the most optimized rendering engine, so users can export animations in both Flash and HTML5, eliminating the need to guess which format viewers' technology will support. When the animation is complete, MotionComposer automatically creates code to support all formats.

Watch the quick start video to find out more about MotionComposer.

More About MotionComposer:
The perfect tool for the prosumer and professionals, MotionComposer 1.6 bridges the gap between enthusiast and professional web designer, giving everyone from graphic designers to photographers to self-publishers the ability to create their own digital animations easily. Content creators can animate graphics completely from scratch, giving total control over the animation, or using any of Aquafadas' built-in templates. Bloggers are able to add interesting graphics to their websites or generate income by creating animated ads. Books, magazines, brochures and more become more beautiful and engaging. Aspiring writers using Apple's iBooks Author can enhance stories with animated content using MotionComposer.

MotionComposer's unique technology plays interactive content automatically as HTML5 or Flash(R), depending on which format the Web browser supports.

Cloud Outliner Lite 1.2 Free for OS X - Versatile OPML/PDF Outline Maker - Published on 01/30/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

XwaveSoft today introduces Cloud Outliner 1.2 Lite free for Mac OS X, its very useful outline-making app that lets users import/export in OPML format and save outlines as PDFs. An outline is the most efficient and simple method of organizing any information, perfect for recording flashes of inspiration that can be fully developed later. Upgrading to the full version adds sync between Macs, iOS devices, and Evernote accounts. Also available are Lite and Full versions of Cloud Outliner for iOS.

Odessa, Ukraine - XwaveSoft today is pleased to introduce Cloud Outliner 1.2 Lite free for Mac OS X, its very useful outline-making app that lets users import/export in OPML format (Outline Processor Markup Language) and save outlines as PDFs. An outline is the most efficient and simple method of organizing, editing, saving, and sharing information of every kind, and it is perfect for recording flashes of inspiration that can be fully developed later. Upgrading to the full version adds sync between Macs, iOS devices, and Evernote accounts. Also available are Lite and Full versions of Cloud Outliner for iOS.

It is no coincidence that personal computers operate using a Hierarchical File System. Top to bottom branching is the most efficient and simple method of organizing any information. And an outline uses the same hierarchical method to illustrate the connection of a major topic, idea, or piece of information to related topics, ideas, and information. Nested categories, from major, to minor, to sub, to sub-sub categories provide an instant overview of the structure of any collection of data, notes, etc.

Feature Highlights:
* Import and export outlines in OPML format
* Save outlines in PDF format
* Use checkboxes to show and hide outline items
* Print outlines
* Get in the zone with full-screen mode
* Thanks to the autosaving, it's no longer necessary to save documents manually
* Intuitive, uncluttered interface

Additional Features in the Full Version:
* Sync outlines with Evernote
* Sync outlines between your Mac and iDevices with iCloud
* Configure Keyboard Shortcuts

Creating a new outline in Cloud Outliner is done with a single touch or mouse click, and building hierarchies is equally simple. For example, the user might create an outline entitled "My Favorite Foods." He or she might then start with the category Fruits, listing six favorite fruits beneath. With a single click/touch, Fruits is indented one tab. Similarly, each listed fruit is indented two tabs. A user can manually or automatically add to any level of indentation, and can drag any item to any level of hierarchy already established. The app automatically keeps track of each entry and all the hierarchical levels beneath it, prohibiting improper outline formatting.

Having created an initial outline, users can easily save or edit it. Editing is simple and intuitive, allowing the selection of multiple lines (including nested entries or columns). Entire hierarchies can be moved up or down in the outline, their items reordered, and indentations changed, or the entire group can be deleted. Within the app, it is easy to cut & paste from one outline to another, or paste into another app, such as Notes, Mail, Safari, etc.

Cloud Outliner functions in both standard and full-screen modes, and its streamlined GUI lets users make and adjust outlines without any restrictions whatsoever. An additional convenience feature is checkboxes, which can be inserted in front of any entry. This allows users to filter out checked items when displaying the outline, e.g. completed items in a to-do outline.

"Whether you're plotting a novel, preparing to move, planning Christmas gifts, or starting on a research proposal, you will organize your thoughts more clearly and effectively by creating an outline," stated Denys Yevenko of XwaveSoft. "And Cloud Outliner Lite for OS X makes outline creation, editing, and sharing, easier than any Mac app available."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.7 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 2.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cloud Outliner Lite 1.2 for Mac OS X is free and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Productivity category. Cloud Outliner 1.7 Lite for iOS is free and available through the iTunes App Store in the Productivity category. Cloud Outliner 1.2 full version for Mac OS X is $9.99 (USD), and Cloud Outliner 1.7 full version for iOS is $4.99.

KeyCue teaches Avid Technology's Pro Tools keyboard shortcuts - Published on 01/30/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software today published extended shortcut descriptions for Avid Technology's Pro Tools. The descriptions can be imported in KeyCue 6 to reveal 189 hidden keyboard shortcuts in Pro Tools. KeyCue is a handy tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Whenever the command key is kept pressed for a while, KeyCue displays a table with all keyboard shortcuts available in the currently active application. Similar add-ons are available for InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and more.

Hagenberg, Austria - Ergonis Software today published extended shortcut descriptions for Avid Technology's Pro Tools. The descriptions can be imported in KeyCue 6 to reveal 189 hidden keyboard shortcuts in Pro Tools.

KeyCue is a handy tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Whenever the command key is kept pressed for a while, KeyCue displays a table with all keyboard shortcuts available in the currently active application. Previously, the application shortcuts shown by KeyCue were limited to those that appear in menus. However, many applications offer further hidden shortcuts that are listed only in help documents or printed manuals. Starting with version 6, KeyCue supports user-definable custom shortcut descriptions to reveal these hidden commands. KeyCue merges the additional shortcut descriptions with the shortcuts found in the menus to show the most comprehensive keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet ever.

The new shortcut descriptions have been created by Victor Figueiredo, a fellow KeyCue user, who shares his set with the KeyCue community free of charge. "Having used Pro Tools for 15 years, I've managed to learn many shortcuts which I know by heart now. If you record a lot, the first ones to learn are for the transport (this is why Pro Tools users dig keyboards with num pads). If you edit a lot, you probably live in Keyboard Focus mode. But what if you do both plus MIDI edits and mixing, how do you go about learning 200 keyboard shortcuts?" asks Victor Figueiredo, mixing/recording engineer, and long time Brazilian Mac user.

Victor continues: "KeyCue to the rescue! Not only this app reads all of Pro Tools' menu items shortcuts and displays them in a neat list, since version 6 it lets users define custom shortcut descriptions, blowing a multitude of Pro Tools' shortcuts out in the open! No more digging through Pro Tools Shortcuts Guide or Reference in search for buried and less known shortcuts; if you find a missing or undocumented shortcut just enter it in KeyCue, and the next time you fire it up - via a convenient press and hold of a key - it will sit right in front of you, so you can memorize it faster. It's like having a Shortcuts Assistant Engineer! Now I can confidently state that Pro Tools is an instrument that I play - if not with my eyes closed - with my ears wide open. The thing about shortcuts is that they not only speed up your editing and recording workflows, once they're in your veins, they become an extension of your creativity. This is what motivated me to build this list, so I could free
myself of the theory and get pragmatic about my projects. Aided by KeyCue, I can refer to any shortcut I do not yet know and get right back to the music. And since Ergonis is open to the sharing of such user created shortcut list, hopefully you'll be able to do the same."

Besides the new shortcut descriptions for Pro Tools, similar add-ons are available for Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. All these plus a collection of system-wide shortcuts can be downloaded from Ergonis Software online.

The productivity paradox of keyboard shortcuts is that shortcuts were designed to increase productivity. However, productivity actually decreases when applications provide large numbers of shortcuts, in particular when the shortcuts are defined inconsistently across applications. KeyCue's elegantly simple solution is to display an instant overview of currently available keyboard shortcuts - application-specific menu shortcuts as well as system-wide hotkeys and user-defined shortcut descriptions. Over time, KeyCue users will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and start working more efficiently.

KeyCue has already received many awards, including a 4.5-Mice award from MacWorld magazine.

Availability and Ordering:
The shortcut descriptions mentioned in this release are not functional as stand-alone tools, but require a licensed version of KeyCue 6.0 or newer. KeyCue 6 requires Mac OS X version 10.5.8 or newer and is fully compatible with OS X Lion. KeyCue can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. See the company's web site for information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

publicspace.net has released A Better Finder Rename 9.18, an update to the leading file, photo and music renaming utility on the Macintosh. A Better Finder Rename is a sophisticated tool that caters for the full range of file renaming tasks encountered by the modern creative professional. Its streamlined interface includes an instant preview feature that eliminates guess work and reduces error. A Better Finder Rename adds the ability to use GPS location tags in file names.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - publicspace.net has announced the release of A Better Finder Rename 9.18 an update to the leading file, photo and music renaming utility on the Macintosh.

A Better Finder Rename has long been the most complete file renaming solution on the market and has transformed the tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds for tens of thousands of creative professionals across the world. It is based on over 15 years of listening to our users and addressing their requirements to the best of our abilities.

A Better Finder Rename is a sophisticated tool that caters for the full range of file renaming tasks encountered by the modern creative professional. Its streamlined interface includes an instant preview feature that eliminates guess work and reduces error. The tool features capture time and date extraction (EXIF JPEG and most RAW formats) for digital photographers, ID3 tag extraction for music lovers, regular expression support, plain-text file import for renaming from databases and many other advanced features.

The renaming engine is capable of handling very large renaming jobs with ease and it meets file renaming challenges, such as file name conflicts, swaps and dependency cycles that other such tools leave unaddressed, head on. The renaming engine leverages all the latest Mac OS X technologies by using a 64-bit multi-threaded architecture based around the Core Data database system.

Version 9 features a beautiful, re-designed single window user interface, the ability to manually re-order items via drag & drop and access to over 100 image, photo, camera, lens, color, music and date meta-data tags.

Today's 9.18 update adds the ability to generate file names including the GPS (Global Position System) information embedded in image files by many of today's professional digital cameras and mobile phones.

"A Better Finder Rename" is ideally suited for creative professionals, digital photographers, web masters, users who need to transfer files from Windows or UNIX, as well as for all other Macintosh users who routinely deal with large numbers of files.
