The whole crew at Aquafadas is delighted to send Pierre (from the BannerZest Team) and Fabienne our heartiest wishes for their wedding!



...and good luck to Yann that will be left alone for BannerZest support during the honey moon

MacWorld just published a review for iDive 1.8.6.

"Amazingly simple drag-and-drop interface, powerful search and filter features"

"Video software can tend to be amazingly complicated to master, but iDive is just the opposite"

"This represents excellent value for money and proves ideal for less confident home movie enthusiasts thanks to its easy-to-use construction."

Cool

iPhone's SDK...available soon!

Find the right development project and pay a visit to Pixar!

New York -- Dec 5, 2007 -- Freeverse and Aquafadas today announced that Freeverse will be distributing PulpMotion to retail in North America. PulpMotion is a software to make animations using existing music, photos, and videos.
Ian Lynch Smith, President of Freeverse has said, "PulpMotion has been hailed as one of the easiest and most fun way to assemble pieces of your digital life. The guys at Aquafadas created a great app, and Freeverse is thrilled to be distributing PulpMotion in North America!"

At aquafadas, we are currently putting the finishing touches to BannerZest, our upcoming software title.
BannerZest is an animation tool that lets you create Flash content for your web site using your own media, without requiring you to know or even possess Flash.

How do we achieve that ?

BannerZest uses the concept of themes, that work like templates. Each theme defines the behaviour of the animation and comes with its collection of settings. A theme will typically define:

• what is the aspect ratio of the banner. Is it fixed or not.
• what type of animation is performed, how many images are displayed at the same time, ...
• what are the theme options. These usually include colors, backgrounds, title properties, etc... Some themes expose litterally lots of options. We try to group them logically to help you find them logically. When there would have been too many options or variants, we decided to create separate themes.
•In addition to those theme specific options, BannerZest will always let you add a border around your banner, with a user defined color, width and corner radius. This way, you can always make the banner fit an existing web design.
