Apple itself used the application, along with Totally Hip's LiveStage Pro and Adobe Photoshop, to prototype and create their new product introduction QuickTime movie on the front page of their Web site . It's debut marks the first time Apple has used a QuickTime movie on the front home page. We're also told that Totally Hip has also been busy developing two new QuickTime tool products which will be announced soon. One is being developed to let developers create full screen QuickTime movie trailers that can include video, audio and Flash Tracks and wired sprite buttons for navigation and more. This new QuickTime tool will be made available as part of LiveStage Professional package and will also be sold separately.
Price has yet to be determined.
We'll be providing details on this tool for creating interactive movie trailers and interactive video advertising spots for the Web as soon as possible. This new QuickTime tool will purportedly allow novice users, Web designers and developers to compress, clean and prepare video, audio and photographic still images. The tool will let multiple filters and compression codecs be applied to video. Totally Hip originally started developing the tool as a companion product for LiveSlideShow to allow for fast and easy preparation of photo images before placing them in LiveSlideShow movie. Fast Eddie will apparently be targeted to iMovie users, consumers, education and Web design developers.
