SAN FRANCISCO - FrameFree Technologies (www.framefree.com)
has launched FrameFree Studio, a digital imaging software application that allows users to create movies from still photographs without a steep learning curve. FrameFree Studio starts with two digital stills of any resolution, and through analysis, interpolation and morphing, automatically creates smooth motion between them.
The motion imagery generation is fast, and the company says the tool is easy-to-learn. FrameFree Studio eliminates the need for lengthy pixel-by-pixel; frame-by-frame edits, and artists who use the tool have access to the FrameFree United Networks (FUN), a global content delivery system that aggregates original digital content for efficient, worldwide distribution.
The software provides high resolution, scalable input tools for photos, sketches, scans and 3D images, and is appropriate for still, Web and movie projects. FrameFree Studio also allows for output to all industry standard formats.
FrameFree Studio is available in four versions: FrameFree Studio HD, FrameFree Studio SD, FrameFree Studio Pro, and FrameFree Studio Express.
FrameFree Studio HD and Studio SD are designed for TV, film and Web Streaming content producers who want to create unique motion graphics from still images with shorter production times. Studio HD offers AVI, BMP and TIFF with alpha channel output at resolutions up to 4096x4096, and 10 layers, while Studio SD offers identical frame-by-frame output protocols up to standard definition NTSC and PAL broadcast resolutions, and up to 10 layers.
FrameFree Pro and Express are designed for Web producers who want to create high-resolution motion imagery at extremely low costs and minimum bandwidth. Both Pro and Express offer motion imagery that is fully resolution independent and frame-rate independent. Each provides automated intelligent streaming of content for everything from the highest resolution Internet productions to the smallest, new mobile screens.
Studio HD, Studio SD, Studio Pro, and Studio Express, are all immediately available. The introductory subscription price for Studio Express is $30 per month. FrameFree Pro is $50 per month. Each subscription provides unlimited authoring potential. FrameFree SD and HD are available exclusively on a site license basis but they will be made available soon on a weekly subscription basis. A free 14-day trial version of FrameFree Express software is available for immediate download.
