eZedia Releases the Next Generation in Multimedia Authoring Software for the Web - eZediaQTI 2.0
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - January 6, 2004 - eZedia Inc., a leader in digital-media software technology,
announced today, the release of a native Mac OS X version of eZediaQTI 2.0 at Macworld San Francisco, the world's
most comprehensive event for Macintosh enthusiasts and developers.
eZediaQTI is interactive QuickTime authoring software for creating rich internet content and movies. Users can
quickly combine and enhance video, graphics, animation, sound, VRs, and text to create web sites, Internet banners,
online presentations, and interactive videos - all with no programming knowledge required.
"eZediaQTI 2.0 takes full advantage of Apple's new operating system, Panther, and is the first of its kind to give
users a quick-and-easy way to create rich media web deliverable content as an interactive QuickTime movie," said
Stefan Embleton, President and Founder, of eZedia Inc. "This new release breaks even more boundaries by offering
many advanced features including full support for scripting using AppleScript. This extends eZediaQTI's functionality
and automates repetitive tasks to produce extraordinary interactive online content."
eZediaQTI 2.0 has been entirely re-written in Cocoa, Apple's object-oriented development environment, which offers
the new and improved Aqua user interface for greater ease-of-use. The new interface is equipped with an Attributes
Panel that allows direct access to object information, making it easier for the user to edit and enhance media.
Along with the improved interface, eZediaQTI is packed full of new features including; the ability to customize
button colors, shapes, and text; built in spell check; and improved text handling with advanced formatting capabilities.
In addition, eZediaQTI 2.0 provides a toolbar button to access the new eZedia Media Library that consists of themed
templates and movies. A sample of free templates come included with the purchase of eZediaQTI 2.0.
"We are pleased that eZedia leveraged Cocoa's development environment to re-write its interactive QuickTime authoring
software," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "eZediaQTI 2.0 allows Mac users
to easily combine and enhance multimedia content without requiring any programming knowledge."
eZediaQTI 2.0 retails for $99 USD, and is currently available for Mac OS X, with the Windows version to be released
in early 2004. eZediaQTI 2.0 can be purchased online at www.ezedia.com and demonstrations of the product can be seen
