The sequencer, based on a timeline interface, is equipped with hundreds of video effects and sequences. For import or export of files, a number of multimedia file formats are available, including 8SVX, AU, AIFF, AVI, BMP, DL, FLI, FLC, GIF, AnimGIF, IFF-AnimX, JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, PCX, QuickTime, TGA and WAV.
Whether for business or private use-up to 96 video and audio overlay tracks provide the user with unlimited creativity. Extensive and large-scale text objects offer the ability to provide information elegantly with any video clip. MPEG-1/MPEG-2 export modules provide space-saving archives and presentations, even for use on Internet homepages.
Thanks to drag&drop, operating MainActor is child's play-mixing video and audio clips, single images and text objects on a timeline is remarkably easy. A real-time preview of the clip being edited provides not only a clear overview, but also quick editing for a polished succession of combined sequences.
With MainActor 2.0 and ELSA's current generation of graphics boards, video editing, once limited to an elite circle of professionals due to the costs, is now accessible to a wide range of home and office users as well.
As of now, MainActor 2.0 is packaged with all ELSA graphics boards featuring Video-In/Video-Out. And, in time for CeBIT HOME, a free MainActor update will be available at ELSA's website (http://www.elsa.de).
