Quotes:
"Avaltus has tried several products for building media to be used in
web-based courseware. MovieWorks was the only product that met all our
needs: support for many media types, easy to use interface, cross-platform
authoring, and web appropriate files. We build courses for national
supermarket chains, the nation's largest call-center provider, and other
large-scale corporate projects. MovieWorks allows us to accelerate our
development timelines and deliver in weeks what normally takes months using
other tools," says Cory Stokes, Manager -Creative Services, Avaltus
Corporation and 5.0 beta tester.
"MovieWorks was the perfect software solution to create a multimedia
production out of over 800 family photo's from the last 100 years. The
batch processing and auto-sequencing tools in MovieWorks saved me a lot of
time. Adding titling and music was easy, and I was able to have a
full-blown multimedia slide show in just a few hours! If I were to have
paid someone to do this for me, it would have cost hundreds if not
thousands of dollars to produce. Not only is MovieWorks fun and
easy-to-use, but the finished production is a priceless treasure my family
will watch for years to come," says Renee Lakatos, 5.0 beta tester.
