Virtix Releases Zoom and Pan 2.0 for iMovie

Virtix introduces an all-new product for zooming, panning and matting

SALEM, NH -- Virtix, Inc. announces the immediate availability of Virtix Zoom and Pan 2.0 for iMovie. Virtix Zoom and Pan 2.0 is a unified product which is meant as an enhanced replacement for the separate Virtix Zoom 1.1 and Virtix Pan and Scan 1.0 products.

Virtix Zoom and Pan works with iMovie 2.0.1 and up for OS 9 and OS X. Like the products it replaces, it can be used on moving video and still images. However, this new product now uses the full resolution of high-quality still images, which means that your results will look much sharper.

This package has a custom graphical user interface. With Virtix Zoom and Pan 2.0, all you have to do is option-click on the effect in the iMovie effect palette and a dialog box will pop up that will allow you control your motion as you scan across the image. Since all this capability is wrapped up in a single effect, your iMovie palette is not cluttered up with dozens of additional effects.

Virtix Zoom and Pan 2.0 allows you to specify an XY position, a magnification factor and an angle parameter at the beginning and end of the clip. This means you can move across, zoom into and rotate an image at the same time.

Virtix Zoom and Pan supports tranparency in imported images. You can superimpose imported still images on top of the video playing in the background.

Virtix Zoom and Pan also contains the bonus Spotlight and Witness Protection effects which allow you to highlight or blur a circular area of an image.

Virtix Zoom and Pan can be purchased for $34.99 at http://www.virtix.com/imovie/products/ZoomAndPanFilters.asp A demonstration movie and additional information can also be found on this web page.

Customers who previously purchased Zoom or Pan and Scan can purchase this software for $14.99. Customers who bought both Zoom and Pan and Scan previously can download this software for free. Upgrade information can be found at http://www.virtix.com/imovie/products/ZoomAndPanUpgrade.asp
