Our Presales Demo Template includes Introduction, Navigation, Feature, Contact Info, Special Offer, and Exit Scenes, each containing placeholder text, graphics, and navigational buttons.  We've even included a printable Order Form form to maximize your selling opportunity.

Teach with tutorials.  DemoShield5.1 includes fully-designed demo templates for Quick Tours, cue cards, and tutorials.  Use interactive buttons, hot spots, and listboxes to simulate your software in action.

You can also embed URLs in most DemoShield objects, allowing your viewers to send their browsers to any web or FTP site.

Key Benefits

DemoShield gives you more time to focus on the features of your application.  With no scripting or programming required, DemoShield lets you view and test your demo as you develop it.  Use our New Demo Wizard to select one of six complete demo templates: Presales Demo, Quick Tour Demo, Cue Card Demo, Tutorial Demo, CD Browser, or Press Demo.  Simply modify the placeholder text and graphics to suit your needs.  In the Designer itself, seven additional Wizards walk you through key demo development tasks, from building interaction to creating a professional installation to distribute your demo on disk or CD.

DemoShield produces realistic software simulations.  Our new AppCam feature lets you easily capture the flow of your application, with one-key control for capturing sequences of screen images and cursor movements.  Real-time cursor movement makes your simulated actions appear smoother and more professional than video files.  Additionally, AppCam requires less than half the disk space as that of a video file.

DemoShield lets you create a Presales demo today, a Quick Tour or Cue Card demo tomorrow.  With DemoShield’s ease of use, flexibility, and advanced features, you can create all kinds of demonstrations to achieve customer satisfaction, training, and documentation objectives.

How to Use This Evaluation Copy

Important File Information

The Demoshield5.1 Evaluation Copy is a special version of DemoShield we have created to allow you to easily review the product.  All of the major features are enabled.  In order to make this software small enough to download, we have included only one background image and one demo template (the official release has over 50 background image options and 6 demo templates to choose from).

You may create any number of scenes with the Evaluation Copy, but there is a limitation of six (6) scenes that you can save in a single demo.  You will receive an error message if you attempt to save a demo containing more than six scenes.

When you use the DemoShield Player to run your demo, you will notice that a special "Evaluation Copy" bitmap image appears on each scene.  When you purchase the official version of Demoshield5.1, you will be able to open and edit any demo you created with the Evaluation Copy and you will be able to add as many scenes as you like.  When you resave your demo, the "Evaluation Copy" bitmap image will disappear.

Getting Started Guide

The Demoshield Getting Started Guide has been made available in PDF format to help you install and learn the product.  This document includes both a Basic Tutorial directed at new users, as well as a New Features Tutorial which covers key Demoshield5.1 features including the Automation Wizard, which helps you to simulate your software application and to convert .TXT files to automatically timed text phrases.  To use the Getting Started Guide, print the PDF file to any PostScript printer, or use Adobe Acrobat Viewer to view the file online.

New Demo Wizard

Demoshield5.1 includes the New Demo Wizard, which helps you create your new demo file.  From your responses, the Wizard creates a new demo file based on one of DemoShield's professionally-designed templates.
