Canopus Announces Product Bundles
June 27, 2003
San Jose, CA - Canopus Corporation has announced a special software promotion that brings together full versions of its software products into two comprehensive video production and effects suites - the Canopus Visual Effects Suite and the Canopus Production Suite.
Canopus Visual Effects Suite
Bringing together Xplode Professional 4.0, PhotoAlbum 2.0 and Imaginate, the
Canopus Visual Effects Suite provides video professionals with an arsenal of
tools to quickly and easily create stunning videos.
The mainstay of the Canopus Visual Effects Suite is Xplode Professional 4.0,
an advanced 3D video effects package that provides hundreds of customizable effects, transitions and an intuitive interface that makes creating custom effects a snap. PhotoAlbum 2.0 is included and is ideal for displaying a
series of still images or creating a video album montage. Also included is
Imaginate, the company's popular still-image animation software application.
With Imaginate, editors can breathe new life into still images and
photographs, transforming them into movies that can be used to bring history
to life, create montages or anything else the video professional can
imagine.
Canopus Production Suite
Designed to give editors a complete video editing solution, the Canopus
Production Suite combines the remarkable collection of applications found in
the Canopus Visual Effects Suite with Canopus's powerful EDIUS nonlinear
editing application and its state-of-the-art video transcoding tool,
ProCoder.
At the heart of the Canopus Production Suite is EDIUS, Canopus's new
professional editing software for use with the company's acclaimed DVStorm
and DVRex RT lines of editing solutions. EDIUS breaks new ground in editing
capability, productivity and workflow by uniting Canopus's proprietary
technologies into a new, unified processing engine. EDIUS delivers
unprecedented flexibility by offering unlimited video and audio tracks,
unlimited graphics and title layers, the ability to transition between
multiple video tracks, voiceover recording directly to the timeline, 3-point
or 4-point editing for even greater flexibility, as well as multiformat and
realtime output capabilities - all in a fresh graphical user interface that
makes it easy to create powerful, professional video and audio content.
Canopus's ProCoder video encoding software is also included in the suite.
Whether you're encoding MPEG format for DVD production or Windows Media for Web streaming, ProCoder makes conversion between video formats quick and easy. Featuring Canopus's highly optimized DV and MPEG codecs, ProCoder provides high-quality video output without the long wait and guesswork of similar tools.
With a price of $399, the Canopus Visual Effects Suite is a full-featured, cost-effective solution.
For greater savings, customers can purchase the Canopus Visual
Effects Suite for just $299 with the purchase of a Canopus hardware
nonlinear editing solution, such as DVRaptor RT2 or DVStorm2.
With a price of $999, the Production Suite saves customers almost $900
off the MSRP.
Canopus is offering these software suites now through August 31, 2003.
