Serious Magic Releases Visual Communicator 2
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:00 AM
"Visual Communicator is based on a radically simplified new process that makes video creation easier and faster than ever before. This award-winning process was designed specifically for users who know literally nothing about video creation. From first grade students to busy professionals, its remarkable ease-of-use has empowered thousands of non-technical users to create their first video presentation in just minutes."
Visual Communicator is probably the coolest software you've never heard of. I used version 1.0 of this product, and it was extremely impressive - the software is designed for a specific purpose: recording video presentations. It's not traditional video-editing software that you'd use for a wedding video. It's "talking head" software: you go in front of the camera, read from an on-screen script, and let the software do the rest. It has great alpha-channel masking as well, which means it can put a professional-looking background behind you very easily. The software is difficult to describe fully, so you'll want to check out one of their video demos to fully appreciate it. One thing in particular impressed me about their software when I used it two years ago: their video engine was incredibly fluid and fast. Applying and executing transitions was freakishly fast - I hope version 2.0 is just as good, if not better!
