Re: Malibu 1.0 Scala-plugin for Hollywood now available Posted on 24-Jun-2003 13:54:24
I wrote the tutorial in Total Amiga 15. I've had Hollywood version 1.0 since it came out and my 1.5 upgrade came on Saturday.
As long as you're prepared to learn a simple scripting language it's quite easy to use and has a lot of functions. It seems geared to what I would call multi-media applications rather than presentations. That said once you've spent some time on the basic structure you can create a decent presentation (this is what I cover in the tutorial) but the script will get quite long.
I've only had a brief look at 1.5 but it seems a big improvement. In particular "layers" let you move objects over and under each other much more effectively. There is also a new "move" system that lets you move or reposition multiple objects at once instead of one at a time.
On the Current Issue page of the Total Amiga site you can find the tutorial script (there are versions for 1.0 and 1.5) and a compiled version for download.
