Mercalli / Studio plugin ? stand-alone version ? - Sunday, December 16, 2007After contacting proDAD team to obtain further explanations regarding Studio plugin or "stand-alone" version (*), please find hereafter the answer received, which should give you some explanations to recent questions... proDAD answer:
Before a Standalone version could be released, I´m sure a Studio plugin will be available sooner. Please don´t be too hard with Pinnacle - they have good reasons not to release it yet but in near future. And I´m sure that finally, if the full speed and all options will be available in Mercalli for Studio, everybody will be happy. What sense would it make to bring it sooner and having a speed barrier or less options forever?
Mercalli is a great product - Many people want it - but everybody should better wait in order to get the finally best possible plugin. Although it might be hard to wait - what we do understand of course ...
(*) A stand-alone version does not necessitate any non linear video editing software to work. You use it as an independant version, autonomous, which is not part of any video software. This way, you use it without any video software, you render your movie and then use it into your movie software.

|
| The following movie have been created by "micmarti" using Adorage, Heroglyph and VitaScene. It gives you an idea of what can be done using proDAD tools: |
 |
| This is another new, well-thought out "micmarti" video. The final edits were done in Studio 11.1 using the ProDAD software plugins, (Adorage, Heroglyph and VitaScene). The animated figures were created with specialized 3D software which added an additional expense to this video. Needless to say, the chromakey green background was used extensively to bring everything together into one cohesive creation. |
 |
| And "Saby" also presents a very original animation created with the Heroglyph software by ProDAD. |
