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.
"You not only have the best Multimedia Presentation Software on the market, you also have the best customer support I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Thanks again."
-- Lisa Fowler
"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.â€). 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."

Here's an interview I did with PowerPoint guru Geetesh Bajaj in which I discuss Wildform Online, our new online service that lets you host surveys and quizzes.
Wildform Online: Conversation with Colby Devitt
Using Wildform online is easy. Here' a brief online training movie to show you how.
Wildform Online Service is the User Friendly, Cost-Effective Alternative to Expensive LMS Systems
Wildform, Inc. today introduced Wildform Online, a new, user-friendly hosted Web service that allows customers to easily track how employees, students, customers and prospects interact with their e-learning quizzes, tests, surveys and presentations. Amazingly, Wildform Online offers flexible pricing plans starting at only $19.99 month.
Typically, companies and individuals who want to post e-learning content on the Web and track user activity, must set up expensive and complex databases and learning management systems (LMS). With Wildform Online, customers can post their content in a matter of minutes and then invite any number of people to view it. They can track who views the content, and who receives and takes the quizzes and surveys. They can also get detailed reports on the results of these quizzes and surveys. And users of Wildform’s WildPresenter software can publish their e-learning content and multimedia presentations directly to Wildform Online from within their software.
With Wildform Online customers can:
* Publish quizzes, test, surveys & presentations in minutes and securely deliver that content to any audience.
* Track who views their e-learning courses and how they respond to their quizzes and surveys with detailed, easy-to-understand reports.
* Have quiz and survey results sent to anyone on the Web.

Note: The product WildPresenter has been renamed to Flair!
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.
Comments from the judges
“This is very compelling…I can think of several times that this would've made my life easier as an instructional designer, particularly when I worked on a team that did not have many technical resources available.â€
“Wildform has very distinct advantages…the very simple idea of complete integration of all elements necessary into one tool reduces development time dramatically without compromising quality…You can tell these tools were designed by people who have developed.â€
Brandon Hall and Wildform CEO Jonathan Blank
“The bundling of the various functions into one flexible product makes developing e-learning faster, easier and cheaper…This single product could significantly impact the amount and quality of e-learning courses produced.â€

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. This program just saved me so much money and time that words cannot describe how I feel. I'm so impressed with the functionality and ease of use. WildPresenter does what it would normally take several other programs and thousands of dollars to do. It's almost too good to be true. I'm a customer for life and will brag to all my friends about this product. You guys are the best."
-- Ray Brandl
"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."

"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!"

Many people want to create video titles with transparent backgrounds so they can then import them into their non-linear editing software (NLE) and overlay the titles onto existing video. You can do this using Wild FX Pro. This tutorial contains information on how to do this with two popular nonlinear editors: Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.
How to use Wild FX Pro video titles with an alpha channel in Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas
ABOUT THE ALPHA CHANNEL
One of the most popular methods for creating transparent backgrounds in video is to use an alpha channel.
Images represented on video are composed of three grayscale images called channels – one red, one green, one blue - or RGB images. An alpha channel is a fourth channel in
an RGB image that defines what parts of the image are transparent or semi-transparent.
An alpha channel can be either straight or premultiplied, depending on the program that created the image. Wild FX Pro uses the straight alpha channel. When an image contains a straight alpha channel, the transparency information is stored only in the alpha channel. Continue

This is a very basic tutorial to help you with panning and zooming images. (The tutorial that applies to WildPresenter Pro 2+ and WildPresenter Lite 2+). You can read the tutorial here or keep scrolling.
Panning and Zooming Images
INTRODUCTION
You can download a zip file with 2 projects that show the use of panning and zooming using the Super Transition animation.
In order to pan and zoom on images it is best to start with an image that is larger than the area you wish to pan or zoom on. You can, of course, enlarge the image in WildPresenter. However, when you scale an image larger, it will pixelate. So it is best to start with the largest possible image.

"I tested almost every presentation and e-learning application available.

The Foresight Project
holds an annual contest for high school kids to write or make a video of their imagined solutions to our energy and climate issues. The contest is called Imagining Tomorrow: Alternate Energy Futures
Mary Essary, the founder and visionary of this nationwide contest believes that writing and the creation of video can be powerful tools to help shape students minds, and that science-fiction can be a great way to get them thinking about many of the ways in which we can ensure our future on this planet. The contest is a way to get students to look around in their own backyards and see the realities of the issues we face, while encouraging them to unleash their creativity and envision how we might solve them.
