In 1992, Ulead made a big splash in the retail market with ImagePals, an award winning image management tool that set the standard for others to follow. From there, Ulead expanded into the multimedia arena. Our first products were HQ-9000 and VideoStudio 1.0. A short time later, MediaStudio, a complete multimedia tool kit for those interested in the exciting word of digital video, and MorphStudio, where editing and special effects meld for miraculous animations were released. Now Ulead's complete family of products is sure to meet anyone's most general or specific needs.
