Description of Powerbullet
(Latest Version 1.3):
Easily create slick presentations for business, sales or educational uses. Simple drag and drop interface means no technical expertise required. Publish to the ubiquitous Flash format for maximum exposure. It is aimed at non-technical users where web design expertise is not required. If you are familiar with a basic text editor you should be comfortable with Powerbullet. Pictures can be dragged from folders into place in the layout window. Text can be typed directly into the layout area and moved, sized and formatted with the click of a button, or copied and pasted - retaining format information - from programs such as Word. Sophisticated layout possibilities are avaliable by using multiple moveable text areas. Built-in shapes can be used to add indicator lines or text backing. Color filling options include gradients, which can be tweaked using the interactive gradient editor. There is no need for timelines, channels or scripting. Moving images, shapes or text boxes in front of or behind other items requires a single mouse click. When the HTML and Flash (SWF) file is generated (by clicking the Export button), forward and backward navigation buttons are automatically added at the base of each page. Pages can have an entrance animation and an exit animation (also called page transitions). Individual items on the page - which could be images, shapes, text or single letters - can have an entrance animation attached that can consists of any number move movements, shape changes and color and transparency changes. Select an animation from the list of standards, or add your own by creating simple text-based files (format information is provided). Since the emphasis of Powerbulletis on tight control of text layout, it could serve handy as a compliment to larger programs such as PowerPoint or Flash MX, or could be an alternative for simpler presenations that need to be generated in a hurry. |
