For Immediate Release
WILDFORM RELEASES FLIX PRO FOR WINDOWS & MAC FEATURING FLASH MX & FLV VIDEO
Flix is the only software that outputs all types of Flash video
LOS ANGELES, CA � May 8, 2002. Wildform, developers of media software and
resources, today announced the release of Flix Pro for Windows and Mac.
Flix Pro features new, high quality Flash MX (Flash version 6) and Flash
FLV video output, as well as Flash 3-5 video, and Flix�s one-of-a-kind
vector video. Jonathan Blank, Wildform CEO, commented, �Wildform is very
pleased to continue the development of our industry leading Flash video
software, Flix, and to extend our support for the media savvy Mac audience.�
Flix Pro is the only software that outputs all types of Flash video. It
exports Wildform�s Flash MX video with both 1-pass and 2-pass VBR (variable
bitrate) encoding as well as the .FLV files required to import MX video
into the Macromedia Flash authoring tool. Wildform�s Flash MX video, which
plays in the Flash 6 player, uses high quality video compression that is
comparable to Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Real. Flix also outputs
the ubiquitous Flash 3-5 format, which will play in any Flash player
versions 3-6 (according to a December, 2001 NPD Research study, 98.3% of
all Web users have Flash 3-6 installed).
Additionally, Flix is the only software that converts standard video into
vector video using its advanced automated trace bitmap function. Flix�s
vector video, which plays in any Flash player 3-6, consists of only lines
and curves defined by mathematical equations that can scale to any size
without distortion. The vector video is a powerful new animation tool for
web, TV and film productions since Flix can turn any video into an
animation that can be manipulated in the Flash authoring tool.
Flix is one of the easiest ways to create video for the web and for CD
roms. The software comes loaded with time saving features, including
bitrate control, encoding presets, batch encoding, overlays, links, play
controls, auto-preloader, variables, Win and Mac projectors, file
�stitching�, html output, and .wav/.mp3 output. Flix is designed to enable
users to encode video, add their own customized elements and post it on the
web in minutes. Flix Pro is $149, and each license includes $100 in video
from the Wildform Video Library as well as access to Wildform�s customer
only resource section.
About Wildform: Wildform develops media products and resources including
the Flix Flash video encoder, the SWFX animation tool and the Wildform
Video Library. For more information about Flix or Wildform, go to:
