Wildform Releases Flair - the evolution of our award-winning Multimedia Presentation and Rapid E-Learning Software

Today we announced the release of Flair, a completely redesigned version of and major upgrade to our award-winning WildPresenter multimedia presentation and rapid e-learning software.

Key elements of the Flair update include:

* A new interface which provides easier access to all the program's features and a more intuitive workflow.
* Support for the PowerPoint 2007 PPTX format. Flair is the only PowerPoint to Flash converter available that creates fully editable files including text, art, animations and transitions.
* New LMS options that make it easy to add SCORM and AICC tracking to any presentation.
* The ability to instantly add scrolling text and image boxes.
* Support for the use of presentation remote controls.
* Improvements to Flair's unique tool that automatically combines PowerPoint and video. Now fine-tuning of synchronization is a snap.
* The ability to create and use presentation templates and multimedia object templates.
* A scalable timeline.
* Additional preloader options.
* The ability to add text boxes to shapes.
* And many additional work flow enhancements.

Flair combines essential multimedia presentation and e-learning features that used to require multiple products. Flair lets anyone rapidly convert PowerPoint to Flash, generate LMS compliant quizzes and surveys, author demos and tutorials, convert video to Flash and create professional Flash interactive multimedia projects without knowing Flash. There is no other software that combines all these capabilities -- all of which are available through an easy-to-use interface and wizards. Additionally, Flair's output works everywhere -- including the Internet, corporate intranets, CD & DVD ROMs, and mobile devices, and it can be imported into many other programs, including PowerPoint and Dreamweaver.

In announcing the release Wildform CEO, Jonathan Blank, addressed the product's renaming, "WildPresenter did so much more than create presentations that we decided to use a name that captured its tremendous flexibility and power -- which we think `Flair' does. And `Flair' also reflects the program's stylish makeover."

Experience Flair using the free trial available at www.wildform.com/demos.

Flair is available for Windows (2000/XP/Vista) for only $299. Educational and group discounts are available.

Technologies for Worship Magazine likes WildPresenter

TFWM

"WildPresenter Pro is a powerful multimedia creation and presentation software solution allowing you to quickly produce and present professional looking presentations for the web, “big-screen” or disc. Wildform has worked very hard and done a very admirable job to walk the ease-of-use vs powerful-features tightrope. I appreciate Wildform Presenter’s WISIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface providing that “blessed assurance” that my final output would be as intended.

One of the programs many time savers is the ability to create and edit each element individually (image, video clip, text, etc.) within any WildPresenter presentation avoiding what I call “gopher presentation building” (“Wait here while I leave the program and go for the original fi le to edit it in another program.”). WildPresenter Pro does a great job of converting PowerPoint presentations to Flash. And the best thing about this feature is that your PowerPoint slides remain editable within WildPresenter Pro even after you’ve imported! Sweet. With the explosion of web-based video WildPresenter is a great solution for getting your presentations and videos on the internet without the need for programming."

We're thrilled to announce that WildPresenter has won a coveted Gold Award in the “Best Innovation in Learning Technology” category of the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning competition.

Brandon Hall and Wildform CEO Jonathan Blank

Sarnia Computer Users Group favorably reviews WildPresenter

"This program is amazing...WildPresenter allows you to develop and produce your own multimedia presentations without the need for expensive training. It accomplishes this with relative ease and simplicity, requiring little computer knowledge to create professional Flash media. In fact, their online tutorials and training videos are exactly what all programs should offer: With just one viewing of a particular training video you can easily produce your own professional presentation. In my opinion, this is a “must have” program for anyone wanting to create Flash projects with ease and professionalism."

"PowerPoint users were very impressed..."

"I must say WildPresenter is a very well designed program and very user friendly. I have had very little reason to access the help system as most commands are very well placed and seem like a lot of thought has gone into the end user. I tried the program out on some long time PowerPoint users and they were very impressed with the ease of use, same with heavy Apple users. Nice work!"
