SOFTWARE INCLUDED:
		Minerva Systems’ Impression Create your own interactive CDs with Impression. Impression allows you to create interactive menus for your production making it the ideal tool for the ultimate multimedia experience.
		Pinnacle Systems’ TitleDeko Not just another graphics program, Pinnacle Systems’ TitleDeko was designed from the outset to be used for video titling. It comes from Pinnacle Systems award-winning family of titling products used by major broadcasters. As a result it has a feature set that you’d expect – anti aliased text, rolls and crawls. TitleDeko comes with hundreds of customizable styles such as neon, metallic, shapes and soft edges that can be applied to any font.
		Sonic Foundry’s ACID Music ACID Music makes it easy to create custom, license free music tracks for your productions. ACID Music uses “loops” – clips of sound that can be strung together to make continuous music. The loops are painted into a track, and tracks can be combined to create a song!
		Pixélan Software’s Video SpiceRack In addition to the incredible 3-D transitions of FreeFX, Pixélan’s SpiceRack is a collection of more than 300 unique images for producing creative, eye-catching 2-D transitions in Adobe Premiere projects.
