Hollywood Designer 1.0 released After a long development time, Hollywood Designer 1.0 is now available and can be ordered on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. Hollywood Designer is a high-end presentation software that creates together with Hollywood 1.9 the ultimate Multimedia suite for your Amiga or Pegasos. About Hollywood Designer: Hollywood Designer is a state-of-the-art WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor for presentations. You can create amazing presentations with just a few clicks and they will be shown with Hollywood then. You can also save your presentations as stand-alone executables for AmigaOS, WarpOS and MorphOS. Additionally, your presentations can be saved as Hollywood scripts. Pages can be exported as single pictures too so that you can e.g. embed them in a HTML page. The program makes project management very easy by organizing all your project files in one directory which you can administrate with the inbuilt data manager. If you create a new project with Hollywood Designer, it will create a whole environment for your work complete with icons, drawers and info files. It just can't get any easier! Hollywood Designer has everything you would expect from a modern multimedia application: Many colorful icons, images and toolbars, extensive online help system, undo/redo, context menus, recent menu, clipboard usage, keyboard control and a completely localized interface. It uses a page-pased presentation concept, which means that your project consists of as many pages as you want and each page consists of as many objects as you want. Objects are for example texts, animations, brushes and graphics forms. It has a powerful layout window where you can easily drag all objects around with the mouse, change the look of your pages and modify the objects attributes. Everything is implemented in a WYSIWYG way. The program supports bitmap, color, intelli and truetype fonts for your texts. You can edit your text objects by using the powerful integrated text editor or you can import texts from external files into Hollywood Designer. Clipboard text import and export is also supported of course. There are many text formatting possibilities like bold, italic, underlined, shadow and outline text which can be used. Of course the shadow and outline style can be configured to fit your needs. You can also specify the text alignment (left, right or centered). You can use brushes and animations to create absolutely unique presentations. 24-bit transparency is supported for both types. You can also scale brushes to your desired size. Hollywood Designer can insert simple graphics forms into your presentations like rectangles, ellipses and lines. You can configure the shadow and border settings of these objects as well as some other attributes like round edges for rectangles and line thickness. You can choose colors from a pre-defined palette of popular colors or you can mix your own colors in the powerful color manager. Hollywood Designer is a complete 24-bit application that can display every single color of the 16.7 million possible colors. Every object and every page can be displayed with a transition effect. You can choose from a massive palette of over 150 different transition effects which are partly very impressive. You can use cool fly-on effects for your objects like sine wave fly-on, curved fly-on or bounce fly-on. You can also remove your objects from the display with transition effects! Objects and pages can be used to assure the correct timing of your presentation which is precise in milliseconds. Hollywood Designer can play sound samples and Protracker modules when a page or an object is displayed. You can modify the pitch value, volume, panning and loop settings of sound samples. Samples are loaded through datatypes so that you can use almost every format you want, 8 or 16-bit, mono or stereo. Hollywood Designer supports them all. Additionally full channel mixing is supported which means that you can play as many sound samples as you want at the same time. And also Protracker modules can be played at the same time as sound samples. Audio support is implemented fully retargetable through AHI. You can also use the program to create interactive presentations, e.g. you can add menus to your presentation that query user input and react on it. This allows you to create even complete multimedia applications like front-ends or disk magazines. Every object can be used as a button that monitors several events like mouse over, left mouse or right mouse click. If an event occurs, you can define many actions to take, e.g. show/hide other objects, play sounds, start programs, switch page, quit presentation and more. Advanced users who are familiar with the Hollywood script language can also embed their own Hollywood code in the presentation. Every object and every page has the option to execute custom Hollywood code to make the presentation even more unique. Hollywood code can be easily edited within Hollywood Designer and there are such helpful tools like syntax checking, online reference and import/export of code. Your presentation can be displayed in a window on Workbench/Ambient or on a full screen for a very noble look of your work! You can configure every detail of the background frame of your presentation. You can use a background pattern, background color, gradient, an image or even everything together! Presentations can be configured to loop after they have reached the end and they can also be started in mute mode without sound output. Hollywood Designer is just the ideal tool for all your presentation needs on your Amiga or Pegasos. Hollywood Designer is a modern application that requires a modern system to work best. A graphics board is strongly recommended as well as much memory. You should have at least 32 megabytes of free memory. For users with little memory, there is a low-end setting which will use less resources than the normal version does. Additionally you will require Hollywood 1.9. Hollywood Designer comes on a CD-ROM together with example presentations and an extensive documentation which explains every part of the program. The program is really easy to use. Most things are self-explaining and for the rest you have the documentation. Everyone can create stunning presentations now! The program has direct support for CyberGraphX and Picasso96 as well as for AHI. There are versions for AmigaOS Classic and for MorphOS (PPC native). The program was successfully tested on AmigaOS Classic, MorphOS 1.4, WinUAE and Amithlon. An OS4 version is planned to be available as soon as the operating system is available. Hollywood Designer is written in a OS friendly way and should run on every Amiga compatible system. Get creative now with Hollywood Designer! Features: General:

April 14th: Developer Feedback Day The MorphZone declared today as the Developer Feedback Day. Whoever uses a program today might take the time to write a small message to the according author and let him know that the product is used and maybe place some additional remarks. Most times the authors do not receive any feedback by the users - soemtimes not even when they update the program. Please take the Developer Feedback Day as a raeson for a quick note to the developers, graphic artists or other activists whose work is used day by day - the authors have earned a honour and maybe also the users will benefit from such responses by generating a new motivation for the developers to care for their products.
