Product Description:

For easy analogy, Comixware can be seen as an interactive storytelling "machine". In such machine, contents are "fed" through its engine to create stories rather than "sealed" into an irreversible narrative block (like book or movie). Therefore additional contents can be fueled to this "machine" to expand and renew the existing story. The contents for this "machine" are made of modulated story clips that can be recomposed and reshuffled in a timeline in any order or fashion as user desires. Each of these clips is made of scene elements that can be edited and manipulated individually by user. This "machine" comprises of 5 sections: Read, Compose, Play, Save, and Gallery. Each in combination with others addresses the 3 main functions of Comixware: narrative, editing, and community.

What's new in this version:

Expanded File Compatibility - Comixware now accepts user media files in practically any popular video, bitmap and audio formats to be used in editing directly (without the need for conversion). This extensive compatible media pack includes: QuickTime, AVI, SWF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PICT, PSD, TIFF, TGA, MP3, AIF, WAV and AU. Plus Comixware will draw thumbnails of these files on-the-fly and have them shown up in the asset library instantaneously ready for editing!
User File Sharing - Powerful asset linking engine and movie ID encryption system enable users to share their personal media in Comixware Gallery on the Internet, either 'publicly' or 'privately'. For instance, you can password protect your movie to be shared with designated friends and family only. Or you can include an administrative ID in your movie to allow online collaboration with your peers.
Definable Scene Length Control - Now all scenes, regardless of their original length or nature, can be altered and redefined by user as for their screen duration and playback scheme (cycled or directional). This feature greatly expands the choices and possibility of media used in the movie. For instance you can extend a single frame photo to be a scene of infinite length.
Cut/Copy/Paste/Insert - Now the Compose section includes advance editing functions of cut, copy, paste, and insert editing both at the timeline and at the scene composition level. Copy and paste can also be performed across different scenes and movies
Multiple Selection - User can now select a group of scenes or objects (whether in consecutive or nonconsecutive order) to perform advance editing functions.
OS X Compatible - In addition to the Classic environment (OS 8.x to 9.x), the Mac version of Comixware is now fully OS X native.
Improved GUI - All the editing features and functions are carried out by a streamlined and seamless user interface. Almost any task in Comixware, regardless of its complexity, can be done by a simple drag-and-drop or mouse click, no input menu or property dialog to open or close.
