Macromedia Action!

**Macromedia Action!**, formerly **MacroMind Action!**, was an early graphical presentation program developed and marketed by Macromedia. It was discontinued in favor of Macromedia Director and Flash.

## History

Action! began as a simpler "slide"-based presentation program as an alternative to the "stage"-based Director environment. It was the first program for Windows business users that blended sound and motion with text and graphics.

### Versions

* **Version 1.0.1** for Windows was released in 1991. The Macintosh version was released in early 1992 by MacroMind-Paracomp.
* **Version 2.0** for Windows was released later in 1992 by Macromedia and added animated charts with over 100 templates.
* **Version 2.5** for Windows was released in 1993 and added support for analog and digital video.
* **Version 3.0** for Windows was shipped on July 5, 1994.

The Macintosh version only reached up to version 1.0.4. "Special Edition" versions of Action! were sometimes bundled with hardware by manufacturers, but were ineligible for upgrades.

Macromedia Backstage

**Backstage** was a line of website development tools created by iBand and later acquired by Macromedia. Its major competitors at the time were Adobe PageMill and SiteMill, and Vermeer Frontpage.

## Product history

In December 1995, iBand first announced Backstage for Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. Beta testing for Windows 95 and NT began in March 1996.

Macromedia acquired iBand and the Backstage product line on March 13, 1996. Version 1.0 of Macromedia Backstage Desktop Studio and Enterprise Studio were released as part of a trial beta program in April 1996 and shipped on April 29 and July 1, respectively.

Desktop publishing

**Desktop publishing** (**DTP**) involves the use of computers to lay out text and graphics for printing in magazines, newsletters, brochures, etc. A good DTP system provides precise control over templates, styles, fonts, sizes, colour, paragraph formatting, images and fitting text into irregular shapes.

## History

Aldus PageMaker was considered the first desktop publishing "killer application" for the Macintosh platform in the 1980s, followed by QuarkXPress which quickly became a direct competitor. PageMaker was acquired by Adobe and has since been superseded by InDesign. Apple presently markets Pages as a word processor and desktop publishing application.

## Product history

In December 1995, iBand first announced Backstage for Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. Beta testing for Windows 95 and NT began in March 1996.

Version 1.0 of Macromedia Backstage Desktop Studio and Enterprise Studio were released as part of a trial beta program in April 1996 and shipped on April 29 and July 1, respectively. The Enterprise version's primary difference is that it includes additional Backstage Objects that support client-server databases, such as Informix, Oracle, and Sybase, while the Desktop version is limited to local desktop databases. Macromedia released Backstage Xtras Developers Kit later in the year to allow developers to build their own objects.

Backstage Enterprise Studio was superseded by Macromedia Backstage Internet Studio 2: Enterprise Edition in the first quarter of 1997.

## Awards

Backstage version 1.0 was selected as a Pick Hit at the NAB Show in April 1996 and received a World Class Award from *Java Developers Journal* in December 1996. It was *NetGuide'*s Editor's Choice in January 1997.

Day Software

**Day Software AG** was a Swiss company that created the underlying technology of Adobe Experience Manager.

## History

The predecessor to the company was founded in 1993 as **Bidule AG** in Basel, Switzerland. On August 13, 1999, Bidule merged with Day Interactive Switzerland AG to form the Day Group. Day's primary product, Communiqué ("CQ") was based on its ContentBus architecture and was launched in early 2000 as a set of CGI scripts for Netscape Enterprise Server.

### Acquisition by Adobe

After CQ 5.3 had been released, Adobe Systems announced that it would acquire Day Software Holding AG for US$240 million (CHF255 million). The acquisition was completed on October 29, 2010. Communiqué was briefly rebranded as Adobe CQ, and then became Adobe Experience Manager.

Mac OS X

**macOS** (formerly **Mac OS X**) is a series of graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Apple for its Macintosh line of computers. It succeeded the "classic" Mac OS (which dates back to the launch of the original Macintosh in 1984) and NeXTSTEP (which was developed at NeXT after Steve Jobs left Apple). It has since been superseded by **macOS**, starting with macOS 10.12 "Sierra" in 2016.

Adobe Creative Suite does not work on any recent version of macOS; alternatives from Adobe include a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, or Adobe Photoshop Elements & Adobe Premiere Elements.

## Native PDF support

Mac OS X used a PDF-based imaging model called Quartz. This replaced NeXTSTEP's Display PostScript implementation to avoid royalty fees to Adobe Systems. However, as Mac OS X's use of PDF prioritizes speed and compatibility over features and compression, it is limited to PDF 1.3 (or PDF 1.4 for document "bundles" which contain embedded graphics). Newer PDF files will either display incorrectly or cause a performance hit as Mac OS X will internally downconvert the document for display.

MacroMind-Paracomp SoundEdit Pro

**SoundEdit Pro** was a sound editing application that was distributed by MacroMind-Paracomp.

## Background

In November 1991, the MacroMind-Paracomp announced that it was acquiring Farallon Computing's SoundEdit audio software. It was released in 1992 as SoundEdit Pro 1.0, which added support for 16-bit sound. In that same year, MacroMind-Paracomp merged with Authorware Inc. to form what would become Macromedia.

On July 5, 1994, Macromedia released its successor, SoundEdit 16, with the ability to handle sound files larger than available RAM.

MacroMind SoundVision

**MacroMind SoundVision** was the first multimedia project developed by MacroMind (predecessor of Macromedia).

## Product history

The name "SoundVision" originated from a theoretical multimedia machine that MacroMind co-founder Marc Canter had dreamt of while performing with a band called Pitch in the late 1970s.

After the introduction of Apple Computer's Macintosh 128K in January 1984, MacroMind designed SoundVision with graphics, text, and sound capabilities, which were timed by a "score" based on an early implementation of MIDI. At the insistence of Hayden Software, the publisher, the sound and graphics features were split into two products that became MacroMind MusicWorks and VideoWorks, which were released in October 1984 and June 1985, respectively.

Hertz

The **hertz** (symbol: **Hz**) is a unit of frequency derived from the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves.

## Variations

Hertz are commonly expressed in metric prefixes (decimals):

* A **kilohertz** (kHz) consists of 1,000 hertz ( 103 )
* A **megahertz** (MHz) consists of 1,000 kilohertz, or 1,000,000 hertz ( 106 )
* A **gigahertz** (GHz) consists of 1,000 megahertz, or 1,000,000,000 hertz ( 109 )
* A **terahertz** (THz) consists of 1,000 gigahertz, or 1,000,000,000,000 hertz ( 1012 )
* A **petahertz** (PHz) consists of 1,000 terahertz, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 hertz ( 1015 )
* An **exahertz** (EHz) consists of 1,000 petahertz, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 hertz ( 1018 )

## Usage

The hertz is used by the computer industry to label the frequency of electronic components, notably the clock rate of central processing units (CPU). However, as manufacturers have adopted techologies such as caching, pipelining, multi-core processing, computing efficiency can vary significantly across different processor lines. As a result, the hertz is not an ideal measurement of processing power, leading to the megahertz myth.

Macromedia Final Cut

**Macromedia Final Cut** (code named "**Key Grip**") was a video editing application that was in development at Macromedia by a team led by Randy Ubillos, the original software engineer behind Adobe Premiere.

## Development

In 1995, a Macromedia board member approached Ubillos with a plan to develop a new video program for faster computers. The original 18-month plan took about 3 years before Final Cut was demonstrated at the NAB Show in April 1998.

## Acquisition by Apple

Apple Computer's interim CEO Steve Jobs expressed interest in the Final Cut project after it had been shown at the 1998 NAB Show. Jobs had also asked Adobe Systems to provide a consumer version of Premiere that could be bundled with the upcoming iMac DV, code named *Kihei*. However, as Apple had been financially struggling at the time, Adobe declined and focused Premiere on the Windows platform. In response, Apple acquired Final Cut's source code and its development team on May 4, 1998. Adobe then met with Apple's management, seeking to shut down the Final Cut project. However, Jobs made a case that Final Cut was different than Premiere and would be beneficial to the overall desktop computer market. It was released as Final Cut Pro in April 1999.

Final Cut Pro won a 2002 Primetime Emmy Engineering Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on August 21, 2002 for its impact on the television industry. Adobe briefly abandoned development of Premiere for the Mac and released Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0 in August 2003 for Windows only. Apple at the time was offering Premiere owners $500 discounts on upgrades to Final Cut Pro 4 HD or a free trade-in for the consumer version, Final Cut Express. Apple at the time was offering Premiere owners $500 discounts on upgrades to Final Cut Pro 4 HD or a free trade-in for the consumer version, Final Cut Express.

DVD-ROM

**DVD-ROM** (an acronym for **Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory**) is an optical media format that was popular in the early 2000s, superseding the CD-ROM format.

## Specifications

The standard data rate of a video DVD is 1,353 KB per second, about nine times that of a standard CD at 1x speed. DVDs can also be double-layered and/or double-sided to further increase capacity.

## History

Adobe entered the DVD authoring market in 2003 with the release of Adobe Encore. DVD-ROM was the default method of installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 through 6. Applications from Adobe Creative Cloud are downloaded directly by subscribers instead of through physical installation methods.

Joint Photographic Experts Group

The **Joint Photographic Experts Group** (**JPEG**) is the original name of the committee that was established in 1986 to design and standardize the JPEG image compression algorithm, which is widely used on the web.

## Description

Introduced in 1992, JPEG is designed for compressing full-color or grayscale digital images of "natural", real-world scenes. It does not work as well on non-realistic images, such as cartoons or line drawings. JPEG does not handle compression of black-and-white bitmaps, indexed color images, or moving pictures. Standards for compressing those types of images are handled by other committees, named JBIG and MPEG.

## History

JPEG was supported by Adobe Photoshop before Apple added native support for JPEG to the Mac with the release of QuickTime 3.0 in March 1998.

Fotiva

**Fotiva** was a developer of photo management technology called PhotoTablet that became Adobe Photoshop Album.

## History

The PhotoTablet concept was conceived by Michael Slater during the Thanksgiving weekend of 1999. He co-founded **PhotoTablet Inc.** with Ken Rothmuller and Bernard Peuto in February 2000 at Santa Rosa, California. However, the new privately-held company had difficulty raising capital for growth during the crash of the dot-com bubble. It was renamed Fotiva in October 2001 and was acquired by Adobe Systems on December 5, 2001.

### Legacy

Fotiva's photo management software found moderate success as Adobe Photoshop Album, which was also bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. The software became integrated into Photoshop Elements 3.0 and later resurfaced as Adobe Elements Organizer.
