AquaSoft Stages
Let your inner control freak run wild! Effects, sound, images/video, and animations are displayed on separate keyframes in the timeline. This allows you to control, second-precise, exactly how each element in your movie should move, sound, or look. As you make changes to your project, adding movement, particles, or other effects, the result will be shown immediately in the layout designer. With the help of tools like the playhead and Timeline markers, you can easily sync your audio to your images. The playhead gives you a frame-by-frame view of your images and video, while the Timeline markers allow you to mark the changes in audio tone, resulting in crescendos at just the right moment. In Stages you can rotate your images, videos, and titles the full 360 degrees. This looks especially great combined with animated camera pans as well as to create Prezi like shows or rotate titles, making your videos stand out from the crowd.
