Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Headline Studio 1.0 has all the necesary tools for creating compelling GIF animations in one streamlined application. Here are some of its features: Dynamic key-point animation: Until now, animated banners have been built frame by frame using one or two separate applications, then "stitched" together into a GIF animation using yet another application. Headline Studio changes the approach by letting you create an animation first using key points, then rendering it out to a GIF animation file--all in one integrated application. Headline Studio lets you do the creative work up front and take care of the technical work at the end.

Split text: Headline Studio has the ability to split animated text into individual words, characters, or lines. You can also determine how much overlap from word to word, or letter to letter, happens with these animated parameters. And splitting text is a simple click once the entire animation has been created.

Color palettes: Choose from different color palettes, such as the built-in Web-safe colors. You also can import color palettes from Painter or PhotoShop, or create custom GIF palettes.

Real-time animation previews: Headline Studio gives you the ability to see your key-point animation and make changes on the fly. You can preview the GIF file instantly and see how it will look with a specified frame rate and color palette. If the file size is too large, simply adjust the frames and colors, then render the file again instantly.

Bandwidt preview: Preview how your animation will look when viewed from a 28.8 Kbps modem, an ISDN line, even a cable modem. Instant bandwidth previews let you tailor your animation to every viewing audience easily.

Import-export index: Headline Studio 1.0 imports GIF, TIFF, and JPEG files natively. Additionally, it supports PhotoShop file-format plug-ins within its plug-ins folder. Headline Studio exports standard GIF89a files, compatible with all standard Web browsers.
