Media Cleaner Pro 3.0, Terran Interactive is reaffirming its commitment to<br />
provide top quality tools to the multimedia, Web, and professional video<br />
market. The latest version of Terran's award-winning program, Media Cleaner<br />
Pro 3.0, supports the most challenging digital video compression needs of<br />
broadcast, corporate, Web and multimedia developers. New features include<br />
unique and powerful support for Apple Computer's cross-platform QuickTime<br />
3, still image processing and a new interface that allows developers to<br />
further streamline their workflow.</p>
<p>"At CNN, we rely upon Media Cleaner to produce video for our site on a<br />
daily basis. Version 3.0 promises to be even more powerful," said Bruce<br />
Cox, Multimedia Development Manager, CNN Interactive. "Media Cleaner's new<br />
features will allow us to better integrate it into our workflow. Cleaner's<br />
unique advanced features for Quicktime 3 and the new Sorenson and QDesign<br />
technologies mean that we can dramatically improve the experience for<br />
everyone that visits our site. The possibilities presented are very<br />
exciting. It's reassuring to know that Media Cleaner is there as we<br />
incorporate the latest technologies."</p>
<p>The desktop video market is poised to reach new levels in 1998 and the<br />
advent of a fully cross-platform version of QuickTime is a major force<br />
behind this change. For the first time both Mac and Windows content<br />
providers can produce substantially higher quality audio and video for<br />
delivery on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, intranets, and the Web. "One of QuickTime's<br />
greatest strengths is that it makes it easy for developers to deliver<br />
content over a wide array of media - from digital video, to CD-ROM, to the<br />
Web, and across all personal computing platforms," said Mitchell Weinstock,<br />
senior QuickTime product manager at Apple Computer. "With the introduction<br />
of Media Cleaner Pro 3.0, Terran Interactive is providing developers with a<br />
powerful application that allows them to maximize the powerful capabilities<br />
QuickTime brings to digital video. This is great news."</p>
<p>About Media Cleaner Pro 3.0<br />
Media Cleaner Pro 3.0 is a dedicated media optimization and compression<br />
tool. Media Cleaner reads a wide range of formats and outputs QuickTime,<br />
RealVideo, RealAudio, DV, AIFF, WAV, and still images for delivery on the<br />
Web, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, kiosk, or intranet. Version 3.0 introduces many new<br />
features that include cutting edge support for QuickTime 3, still image<br />
processing and a redesigned interface, which provides developers more<br />
control. For more information about Media Cleaner, interested parties<br />
should visit (<a href="http://www.terran.com" title="http://www.terran.com">http://www.terran.com</a>).</p>
<p>QuickTime 3 Support<br />
The latest version of Apple Computer's QuickTime architecture represents a<br />
major step forward for desktop video. Media Cleaner provides developer<br />
support for important QuickTime 3 features such as Alternate Movie creation<br />
and the ability to embed URL tags at the end of a movie. In addition, Media<br />
Cleaner offers unique support for the Sorenson Video Codec and QDesign<br />
Music Codec. Version 3.0 provides exclusive access to Variable Bitrate<br />
Control features of the Sorenson Video codec and is the only tool available<br />
that enables developers to batch process the QDesign Music codec.</p>
<p>Still Image Processing<br />
Version 3.0 of Media Cleaner Pro is the first release to support still<br />
image processing. Developers can now use Media Cleaner Pro to quickly<br />
optimize and batch compress all of their audio, video and graphic files for<br />
new media such as DVD-ROM and the World-Wide-Web. Media Cleaner reads all<br />
popular formats and outputs JPEG, GIF and PICT files. An Adobe PhotoshopR<br />
compatible GIF Export module is required for GIF production.</p>
<p>More Powerful Features and Workflow Management Improved batch processing,<br />
settings management and an elegant new interface provide developers a<br />
higher level of control and ease-of-use. The new interface combines several<br />
process windows found in previous versions, making Media Cleaner more<br />
intuitive. With Media Cleaner's improved settings management, settings are<br />
easier to create and manipulate. They can also be shared with others. Data<br />
rate graphs, manual key frame insertion and the ability to set in and out<br />
points provide a higher degree of control.</p>
