The Mac means multimedia -- and not only to Mac users but also to the artists and developers who create multimedia titles for all platforms, including your TV. The impressive range of tools available to multimedia creators can be seen in this year's Eddies.
SuperCard 2.5 provides users with an affordable and easy way to enter into the world of multimedia creation -- but don't let that fool you: SuperCard lets you create some impressive titles. Likewise, Infini-D 3.01 is deceptively easy to navigate, but you can do things with it that will impress Hollywood's pickiest art directors. And -- speaking of Hollywood -- crisply edited footage from the Media 100 2.5 and flawless direct-to-disk audio recordings captured by Studio Vision Pro 3.0 are winning Southern California converts by the score.
If you've turned on your TV or nibbled popcorn in a movie theater sometime during 1995, you've probably seen an animated title sequence created with ElectricImage Animation System 2.5. It's professionally powerful -- and professionally priced, at well over $7,000. On the other hand, Adobe After Effects 3.0, another indispensable tool for professional animators, is almost an impulse buy, at a mere $995. Both, however, are worth every penny.
