Subject:Multimedia Tools Summary From:"Eric J. Ray" <ejray -at- RAYCOMM -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Jan 1998 17:27:51 -0700
Forwarded on request.
>First, thanks to those who helped me make sense of all the different,
>competing, overlapping multimedia tools.
>
>Here's a digest of the opinions received:
>
>For live screen captures, HyperCam and DemoShield got two or more
>recommendations each.
>
>For multimedia development, Corel's Lumiere got the nod from Scott Ivers,
>
>who has used all of the many products I listed (Director6, Lumiere,
>Astoud!, Premiere). Director6 was described as "powerful but hard to
>learn" from a few sources.
>
>In the meantime, I found a way to embed ScreenCam movies in MS Office
>PowerPoint files, and am preparing a demo with these tools for my
>management. Once I get support on going forward with the concept, I'll
>look more carefully at Lumiere.
>
>Excellent help, TECHWRLers.
