“The new MovieEditor harnesses the power of Flash 10.1″

June 3rd, 2010

Creaza has visited a lot of existing users and met new users in different countries throughout the spring.  At the same time, our developers have been working very hard so that Creaza can offer you even more technological possibilities, all over better performance, and exciting new content.

Creaza will soon launch a preview of the new MovieEditor!

There is a lot of debate regarding the use of Adobe Flash. We’ve decided to launch a preview of MovieEditor as an open test bench for the new Flash Player 10.1. You will have the opportunity to evaluate for yourself what can and can’t be done using Flash! Steve Jobs has labelled Flash as old technology. Apple claims that Flash is an obsolete CPU hog, and that developers should consider reaching out to the open Web standards of the new HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript instead. Adobe says Apple’s technology complaints are a smokescreen. Adobe has taken measures to increase performance, and Flash will continue to innovate and expand the limits for what is possible on the web.

While Flash as a video player for the web may or may not be threatened by HTML 5, the launch of Flash Player 10.1 provides an opportunity to move the front to the next level. When the new Flash Player is released we will show you that video editing in the cloud has no limits.

Let us be clear: Flash Player 10.1 rocks! We will post an update when the Flash Player 10.1 is released. The new MovieEditor is scheduled for August 2010. You will be informed about the site for the Technology Preview on our Blog.

In addition to all over better performance, there are many higlights in the new release. Some of these are:

Functionality:

Earlier, it was possible to add images (jpg, gif, png) and flash files (swf) to a graphics layer. With Creaza 3.1 it will also be possible to add animated gif-files and video-files (both from the thematic univers and from ”My mediafiles”. All the files added to a graphic layer can be scaled and rotated, and you can have more than one on each track.

Creaza is developing and growing ;-)

March 11th, 2010

It has been a busy time since BETT 2010 for Creaza. We have been developing a lot and travelling a lot.

Aladdin vs Ali Baba

Creaza has been visable in Helsinki, Trondheim, Lørenskog,  London and Lillestrøm doing meetings, conferences and presentations for different people within the educational systems in the different countries. All people and places very successful, interesting and providing Creaza a lot of feedback from existing users and potential users.

Creaza is translated into 6 languages in addition to Norwegian of course. Try English, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Dutch, and German. Creaza is being used in all those languages and all over the world. There are people using Creaza in Quatar, Jordan, South Corea, Russia, Spain and way up north in Norway in the city called Hammerfest.

Together with Fronter Norway and the City of Oslo we are doing an exciting small project with 8 schools using Creaza towards the goals in the Norwegian curriculum. Students from the age of 7 to 17 is participating along with their teachers. The project is running until summer 2010. On monday we have a kick-off with the teachers running each schools project.

March 16th to 18th  Creaza will be in Cologne in Germany together with Fronter Germany on the “didacta“, a large K12 conference.  We will do presentations every day on the stand and also have a seminar. Visit us at Halle 10 Stand C001.

18th and 19th of March Creaza will also participate at the Danish Fronter user conference in Fredericia doing several presentations on “possibilities” and “how to use Creaza”

BUT:

Creaza was shortlisted for the BETT Awards 2010. We didn`t win in our category, BBC did. Congrats..  Still we have gotten the feedback from the judges. Very good. We are happy about the feedback and our developement had started in the same directions long before the feedback. The judges said:

The product offers clear instruction and guidance and four well-contrasted tools.

  • The open-ended software enables choice and creativity across the curriculum and is accessible for all learners (One of our goals with Creaza)
  • The mind mapping, in particular, is simple and clear to use (Oh yeah!)
Your entry was chosen as a finalist for the following reasons:
  • The wide variety of tools and the ability to link seamlessly with the MLE is an excellent feature that will have to become standard on this type of product. (Agree)
The judges were asked how your entry could be improved. Here are their comments:
  • The cartoonist would be enhanced if it included the option to add sound. (Possible today)
  • Links between the different aspects of the software would be welcome. For instance, it could be linked into the option to produce one document incorporating all four tools ( ;-) )

Would you be surprised if the last comment of improvement would be realised? We would not. We are thinking and planning for a 5th tool. Combining the 4 other tools and a lot of more possibilities. More to come on that ;-)

IF we make it. Creaza 3.1 will be released by the end of week 11. How many layers of video and audio do you want? Arabian nights to be released. Berlin movieclips in the World Cities thematic Universe. A lot of new content and functionality will be released. Of course we will inform you all about this on the Blog!
