iScreensaver Designer is a screensaver editor and builder. With it, you can take any QuickTime compatible movies or pictures (including MPEG, MooV, AVI, FLASH, JPEG, PICT, TIFF, GIF, etc.) and turn them into a screensaver for both Macintosh and Windows computers. The software will automatically create an "installer" program for you, for easy distribution of your screensaver via the Internet. The Installer will easily, and automatically, install the software on the end-user's computer. You can customize the screensaver control panel and installer windows with your own text and images for a fully-branded corporate look and feel.
