Monday, 9th June, 1997 - New distributor CONTACT ES has today announced UK availability of ProView 2.0, an easy to use software for creating cross-platform multimedia on a Macintosh without programming, as well as a reduction in price on the previous version, ProView 1.3.
ProView 1.3 has already gained a small but dedicated following among British photographers as a quick and easy way to create individualised portfolios ("ProViewers") that compress down brilliantly to fit onto a floppy disk for distribution. The main downside was that they would only run on other Macs. New ProView 2.0 means that with one simple command they can now create ProViewers for Windows directly on their Macs!
ProView has always been the quickest and easiest way for everybody, from novices (even schoolkids) to experienced Mac users, to create professional looking digital portfolios, catalogues, brochures, albums and more. Featuring a push button interface, presentations can be created in minutes - just drag and drop pictures, movies and text onto pages, then add more pages and link them together using hot spots. ProView's interface is designed for easy use while maximising the user's creative freedom - pictures, text, movies and hot spots are simply dragged around to fit the design, no scripting required!
When the project is complete it can be transformed into a ProViewer: A single, stand-alone application that can be freely distributed and viewed on any other computer, Mac or, now with ProView 2.0, Windows! ProViewers are also optimised for size. Depending on the compression you use, a typical 20 page ProViewer with pictures and sound will fit on a single floppy diskette!
As part of the new Windows capability text is rasterised, so that pages look the same on both Mac and Windows machines. ProView 2.0 also allows the inclusion of QuickTime VR in presentations and the creation of Master Pages as page templates.
ProView 2.0 is available at a special launch price of £169, plus VAT (£198.57). Limited stocks of ProView 1.3 are available at a clearance price of £49, plus VAT (£57.57). Upgrades to ProView 2.0 for registered users of ProView 1.3 are available at £99, plus VAT (£116.32).
