Software News   Software News : Hollywood 4: VideoUp is out now
   posted by softwarefailure on 28-Feb-2009 9:53:31 (5591 reads)
Airsoft Softwair are proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 4: VideoUp. This is a major update which brings along many new features and general improvements over Hollywood 3. The biggest new feature is that Hollywood can now export AVI videos. Now Amiga users can for the first time create high quality video presentations with only a few mouse clicks - on their Amiga with Hollywood.

Also, you can use the powerful new auto scaling engines to export the video file in any resolution you like. All vector graphics (including true type text) will be scaled without quality losses so that they will look perfectly sharp even in high-end resolutions like 1920*1080 pixels. Hollywood uses the professional Motion JPEG codec (MJPEG) for video export which guarantees high quality videos and good compression. MJPEG can be played by all major video players on Amiga (e.g. DVPlayer under OS4 or MPlayer under MorphOS). Videos can be as long as your hard-drive space permits. By using the OpenDML AVI 2.0 standard, Hollywood is able to export AVIs that are greater than 4 GB without problems.

Of course, video files created by Hollywood can also use audio streams. Hollywood uses sophisticated techniques to guarantee perfect timing between video and audio. In fact, Hollywood 4's video engine was designed especially with the goal in mind that the timing of the original Hollywood script is exactly replicated in the video file. So you can create videos that are perfectly synchronized to music, for instance! Furthermore, you can use other programs to convert the video file created by Hollywood into a MPEG2 video and then burn it onto a DVD. Thus, you can use your Amiga to create your own videos!

Besides this impressing new feature Hollywood 4 has several other cool new features. Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 4:

- Create AVI videos with Hollywood!
- Layers system completely rewritten - much more powerful now!
- Support for layer rotation & scaling
- Mac OS X for Intel is now natively supported!
- Support for true type fonts also under Windows & Mac
- Powerful scaling engines allow promotion to any resolution
- Transition effects can run asynchronously now
- Support for 32-bit mouse pointer images
- Mouse wheel support is now implemented
- Hollywood applets can use compression now
- Support for virtual files inside other files
- Applets can be imported into Hollywood scripts
- Many new masking techniques available
- Files over 4 GB are now supported
- Cool new features in the DOS library
- Added support for dynamic object id selection
- Hollywood code can be saved & loaded at runtime now
- 10 new example scripts (over 60 in total)
- Standard library set encompasses over 420 functions now!
- Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes

Hollywood 4 is Airsoft Softwair's ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for every Amiga user who wants to use the full power that is in his machine. Hollywood is available on a CD-ROM and as a download version. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. People who bought Hollywood 3 in 2009 are eligible for a free upgrade to version 4.

Visit the Airsoft Softwair homepage for screenshots of Hollywood 4 in action.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other two modern desktop systems, Windows and Mac OS! With Hollywood, you can save programs for all those platforms. You do not have to have AmigaOS4 or AROS, you can save programs for these platforms also from your AmigaOS3 installation! You do not need to have Mac OS X, you can still compile your programs for it using your AmigaOS or MorphOS installation. Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the Airsoft Softwair homepage.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 4: VideoUp today!

Very cool but just a bit to expensive for me.

At 100 euros Hollywood 4 & Hollywood Designer 2.1 you would have a sale but at 149 euros I just cant justify that sort of spending.

So if a special offer comes up I will buy a copy right away but until then it just too much money for software for a hobby system.

@ Dwyloc

Hi there! :)

Hollywood 4 & Designer-bundle is at sale for 139Euros. However it is also possible to buy the standalone version of Hollywood 4 and it does only cost 79 Euros.

I hope you are able to afford it in the future and experience the power of this amazing piece of software!

Torgeir :)

Yes, but you have the options of upgrades of previous Hollywood versions.
And Hollywood is very easy to install and programming.

Likewise. I would love to upgrade from my version 2 to the new one but until the exchange rate between the pound and euro changes for the better, buying anything in Euros is just too expensive at the moment.

Last year it would have been quite reasonable but not now


Bill.

@ Wajdy

Hollywood is nor video editor. It now has the opton to export videos from the scripts. That's a cool feature, but s nothing for video cutting.

@ Dwyloc

Hollywood w/o the designer is already a nice package. I don't have the designer. If your main purpose s creating demonstratons, then the desgner is hghly recommended, but f you want to program, then you don't get too much from the designer.
I lke Hollywood quite much, it's really simple to use and the option to produce binaries for Morphos/AOS68k/AOS4/AROS/Win/OS X PPC/OS X x86 is really a cool feature and makes the whole package much more versatile.
