Instant Effects Optimizes OfficeFX(R) for Intel, AMD Chips and Adobe Flash(R) Playback

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

Instant Effects, Inc. (www.instanteffects.com) today announced that its upcoming V2.5.1 release of OfficeFX has been optimized to take maximum advantage of new dual core CPUs and integrated graphics chipsets from both Intel and AMD / ATI. With this release OfficeFX will also extend its unique integrated media delivery solution to include Adobe Flash content and enable video backgrounds.

Leveraging diverse media assets plays a huge role in business communications today. Doing so effectively requires authoring software that extracts optimal performance out of the latest computer display hardware. "With OfficeFX V2.5.1, we've expanded recognized media types and optimized our graphics performance," said Don Brittain, CEO of Instant Effects. "Our customers will have access to cutting edge broadcast effects and distinctive media integration capabilities as they drive key corporate messages in compelling new ways."

A seamless addition to Microsoft® PowerPoint®, OfficeFX allows users to easily author and deliver high impact presentations and digital signage displays that blend typical business content with the dynamic look of a network broadcast. Motion background options include real time 3D elements and video. Corporate logos, brands and products can be represented more dynamically as interactive and animated 3D scenes. File or live video and Adobe Flash files can be mapped and streamed to play on interactive 3D objects to enhance visual impact. And it's all authored from within the PowerPoint interface that's familiar to millions.

"OfficeFX pairs visual sophistication with end-user simplicity," said Mike Wilson, Instant Effects VP of Business Development. "Combined with the latest advances in display technologies our latest release puts the communication power of modern digital media into the hands of just about any computer user."

OfficeFX is used by presenters of all sorts in business, education, and house of worship production. OfficeFX Professional is used by digital media artists and event production specialists to deliver visuals in high end venues such as keynote addresses, the 58th Annual Emmy Awards, and the Detroit Auto Show. OfficeFX sells for $149.95. OfficeFX Professional sells for $649.95.
