Hollywood Designer is the high-end WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)
presentation editing software for AmigaOS and compatible operating systems.
You can create amazing presentations with just a few clicks and they will be
shown with Hollywood then. You can also save your presentations as stand-alone
executables for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS, AmigaOS4, and AROS. Additionally,
your presentations can be saved as Hollywood scripts. Pages can be exported as single
pictures too so that you can e.g. embed them in a HTML page. The program makes
project management very easy by organizing all your project files in one directory
which you can administrate with the inbuilt data manager. If you create a new project
with Hollywood Designer, it will create a whole environment for your work complete with
icons, drawers and info files. It just doesn't get any easier!
Hollywood Designer has everything you would expect from a modern multimedia
application: Many colorful icons, images and toolbars, extensive online help
system, Undo/redo, context menus, recent menu, clipboard usage, keyboard control
and a completely localized interface. It uses a slide-pased presentation concept,
which means that your project consists of as many slides as you want and each slide
consists of as many objects as you want. Objects are for example texts, animations,
brushes and graphics forms. It has a powerful layout window where you can easily drag,
scale and rotate all objects using the mouse. Everything is implemented in a WYSIWYG way.
The program supports bitmap, color, intelli and truetype fonts for your
texts. You can edit your text objects by using the powerful integrated text
editor or you can import texts from external files into Hollywood Designer.
Clipboard text import and export is also supported of course. There are many
text formatting possibilities like bold, italic, underlined, shadow and outline
text which can be used. Of course the shadow and outline style can be configured
to fit your needs. You can also specify the text alignment (left, right or centered).
Automatic wordwrapping is supported by Hollywood Designer as well as the possibility
to use anti-aliased text objects.
You can use brushes and animations to create absolutely unique presentations.
24-bit transparency is supported for both types. You can also scale brushes to
your desired size and you can rotate them. You can also work with brushes that have
an alpha channel. Hollywood Designer can insert many graphics forms into your
presentations like rectangles, ellipses, pie slices, lines, polygons or one of the
many pre-defined auto forms (arrows, bubbles, stars, explosions and many more!). Of course
all forms can be freely scaled and rotated. You can configure the shadow and border settings,
and the fill style for these objects as well as some other attributes like round edges for rectangles and
line thickness. Anti-aliased drawing is fully supported on all systems. You can choose
colors from a pre-defined palette of popular colors or you can mix your own colors in the
powerful color manager. Hollywood Designer is a complete 24-bit application that can display
every single color of the 16.7 million possible colors.
Every object and every slide can be displayed with a transition effect. You
can choose from a massive palette of over 150 different transition effects
which are partly very impressive. You can use cool fly-on effects for your
objects like sine wave fly-on, curved fly-on or bounce fly-on. You can also
remove your objects from the display with transition effects! Objects and pages
can be used to assure the correct timing of your presentation which is precise
in milliseconds.
Hollywood Designer can play sound samples, streams, and Protracker modules when a page
or an object is displayed. You can modify the pitch value, volume, panning and
loop settings of sound samples. Samples are loaded through datatypes so that
you can use almost every format you want, 8 or 16-bit, mono or stereo. Hollywood
Designer supports them all. MP3s are supported too, of course. Additionally full
channel mixing is supported which means that you can play as many sounds
as you want at the same time. And also Protracker modules can be played at the
same time as sound samples. Audio support is implemented fully retargetable through AHI.
You can also use the program to create interactive presentations, e.g. you
can add menus to your presentation that query user input and react on it.
This allows you to create even complete multimedia applications like front-ends
or disk magazines. Every object can be used as a button that monitors several
events like mouse over, left mouse or right mouse click. If an event occurs,
you can define many actions to take, e.g. show/hide other objects, play sounds,
start programs, switch page, quit presentation and more.
Advanced users who are familiar with the Hollywood script language can also
embed their own Hollywood code in the presentation. Every object and every
page has the option to execute custom Hollywood code to make the presentation
even more unique. Hollywood code can be easily edited within Hollywood Designer
and there are such helpful tools like syntax checking, online reference and
import/export of code.
Your presentation can be displayed in a window on Workbench/Ambient or on a full
screen for a very noble look of your work! You can configure every detail of the
background frame of your presentation. You can use a background pattern, background
color, gradient, an image or even everything together! Presentations can be configured
to loop after they have reached the end and they can also be started in mute mode
without sound output. Hollywood Designer is just the ideal tool for all your
presentation needs on your Amiga or Pegasos.
Hollywood Designer is a modern application that requires a modern system to
work best. A graphics board is required as well as much memory. You
should have at least 32 megabytes of free memory. Additionally you will require Hollywood 2.5.
Hollywood Designer comes on a CD-ROM together with example presentations and an extensive
documentation which explains every part of the program. The program is really easy to use.
Most things are self-explaining and for the rest you have the documentation. Everyone can create
stunning presentations now!
The program has direct support for CyberGraphX and Picasso96 as well as for
AHI. There are versions for AmigaOS Classic, MorphOS, WarpOS and for AmigaOS4 (PPC native). The
program has been successfully tested on AmigaOS Classic, MorphOS 1.4, AmigaOS 4.0, WinUAE and
Amithlon. Hollywood Designer is written in a OS friendly way and
should run on every Amiga compatible system. Get creative now with Hollywood Designer!

Unfortunately there is no demo version available for download. The reason for this
is that all the demo versions of my other Shareware programs were cracked and I do not
want that this to happen with Hollywood Designer too. So there will be only screenshots available
to demonstrate how powerful Hollywood Designer is. Thanks for your understanding.
