• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 1

  14 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  Many years ago, I found a boneyard of old software, much of it related to the creation and processing of multimedia. I was permitted to liberate anything of my choosing from this cache. This is the same pile where I found this Apple QuickTime format spec as well as this perfect form factor floppy disc box. So I have been sitting on the stuff for awhile.

  I thought I might get the chance to study it a bit more closely one day. But now I’m interested in getting rid of it. Before I do, it’s more or less traditional for me to photograph it and post it on one blog or another. Also, if you know of any software collection groups who would be interested in taking this stuff off my hands, do let me know.

  As usual, click a picture for a much larger image.

  Paracomp FilmMaker
  This is easily the most distinctive piece in this collection and it’s easy to see why— the software is packaged in a film cannister. Still sealed, and I don’t have a good reason to open it now.

  
  
  

  "The Professional Animation/Presentation Program for the Macintosh." No copyright date on the packaging, though the front does mention a 1990 award. System requirements : Mac OS 6.0.5, 5 MB RAM, 32-bit QuickDraw, math coprocessor.

  Strata VideoShop
  Version 4.5 (and not for resale), still shrink-wrapped. "The Digital Video Editor for Creative Professionals."

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with 5 MB RAM (8 MB recommended), Mac OS 7.5.

  BeatWare e-Picture
  "The Professional’s Choice for Designing Animated Web Graphics." Claims a best of show award for 1999 MacWorld New York Expo.

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with Mac OS 8, 32MB RAM, 10 MB of HD space and a 256-color adapter.

  BeatWare eZ-Motion
  Another offering from BeatWare. "The fastest and easiest way to create animations and graphics for the Web."

  
  
  

  This one is for either Mac or Windows. 32 MB RAM and 25 MB HD space required. Works with Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, or 9.0, or Windows 98, NT, or 2000.

  Much more to come...

• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 2

  16 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  This installment includes a bunch of old, discontinued Adobe software as well as some Flash-related mutlimedia software.

  Screen Time for Flash Screen Saver Factory
  "Create High Impact Screen Savers Using Macromedia Flash."

  
  
  

  Requirements include Windows 3.1, 95 or NT 3.5.1. A 486 computer is required to play the resulting screensavers which are Flash projectors using Macromedia Flash 3.0.

  Monster Interactive Instant GUI 2
  Create eye-popping GUIs more easily for use in Flash. Usability experts would argue that this is not a good thing.

  
  
  

  Adobe Dimensions 3.0
  "The Easy Yet Powerful 3D Rendering Tool." This software was end-of-life’d in late 2004-early 2005 (depending on region).

  
  
  

  Adobe ImageStyler
  "Instantly add style to your Web site." Wikipedia claims that this product was sold from 1998 to 2000 when it was superseded by Adobe LiveMotion (see below).

  
  
  

  Google is able to excavate a link to the Latin American site for Adobe ImageStyler, a page that doesn’t seem to be replicated in any other language.

  Adobe LiveMotion
  "Professional Web graphics and animation." This is version 1, where the last version was #2, released in 2002.

  
  
  

  Adobe Streamline 4.0
  "The most powerful way to convert images into line art." This was discontinued in mid-2005.

  
  
  

  Adobe SuperATM
  "The magic that maintains the look of your documents." This is the oldest item in my collection. A close examination of the back of the box reveals an old Adobe logo. The latest copyright date on the box is 1992.

  Et pour continuer dans la série mea culpa... Désolé Julien, lors de ma première réponse sur #2000 je n’avais pas remarqué le s sur $champs et comme je voyais bien les infos modifiées passer dans le pipeline post_edition je me suis dit que tout allait bien. Bref, certains lisent le code, d’autres font (...)
