The intutive interface features realtime preview and detailed keyframing options for fine-tuning any animated sequence.

Imaginate
2.0 can boost production workflow with the scene wizard feature.
Creating sweeping cinematic effects for still images is now as easy as
answering a set of simple questions regarding camera movements. Upon
completion of the wizard, you can further adjust any camera settings to
create a specific effect.

With
the storyboard feature, editors can import multiple images into a new
project to easily create montages, slideshows and presentations. Images
placed into the storyboard can be connected with simple, adjustable
dissolves for a clean, professional look. Simply drag-and-drop one of
Imaginate 2.0’s preset motion sequence templates onto each imported
image for even faster project creation. Each image can have further
individually customized camera movements, effects and lengths if
desired. Imaginate 2.0 features over 190 templates to choose from with
the ability to save any new custom templates created by the user.

With
its intuitive interface, editors can easily adjust the camera's size,
rotation and 2D/3D positioning within the main interface window, or use
specific measurements within the Configuration Window. Imaginate 2.0's
high-quality scaling functions produce incredibly detailed images when
zooming in on high-resolution stills, retaining information normally
lost with other image pan/zoom software.
Imaginate 2.0's timeline
interface allows each aspect of a sequence to be individually keyframed
for precise camera movement and timing. The Spline Editor window allows
editors to carefully control ease in/ease out properties of each camera
movement.

Import
music soundtracks or add narration to a completed sequence for that
extra touch. Imaginate 2.0's Audio Trimmer has controls to set In/Out
points, add fades and adjust the project length to match the length of
an audio clip. Imaginate 2.0 supports all popular audio files,
including WAV and MP3.

Completed Imaginate 2.0 projects can be exported to a number of
different video formats for video editing, emailing and Web streaming.
Imaginate 2.0 can make use of additional video codecs that may be
installed on the same system, such as DivX® or Canopus DV.
Imaginate 2.0 plugs into Grass Valley
EDIUS and Adobe Premiere allowing editors to create and import
Imaginate projects directly from the editing software. When a project
is imported into either of these applications, alpha channels of any
images within the project are preserved, giving the editor the ability
to create professional-looking title sequences and compositions.
