Modify Existing Flare (FLR) Movies

FlareWorks Express loads any existing Flare(FLR) movie to make new animations in Flash(SWF) format. Select from hundreds of loadable movie templates and any movie made and saved with FlareWorks Professional. Though FlareWorks Express cannot create movies or objects from scratch, it is a power tool for modifying existing Flare Movie Templates. It allows you to modify text, fonts, colors, lines, shapes, images, clip art, sound, and begining or ending points of motion paths. New images can easily be added to a slideshow made with FlareWorks Pro. New wording can be put on text effects, or new color arrangements can be set for any existing Flare movie template. FlareWorks Express allows you to separate the template creation process from the FLASH creation process. Make custom templates with Pro and use them over and over again using different parameters and object attributes with Express.

Animation Made Easy

Select and load a modifiable movie template, change the text, change the clip-art and images . . . that's it your animation is readying for publishing. Templates are available for banners, animations, slide shows, simple navigation, buttons and menus.

Multiple Timeline Views

FlareExpress has three separate times line views. Scene View provides the big picture, for adding transitions between scenes and laying down audio across multiple scenes. Object view provides the view of  the Scene with their objects.  Effects View shows Scenes, Objects and all their effects. Animated objects can be tested, the entire scene can be tested, or short segments (clips) can be previewed. Playback of the entire movie is possible with or without the audio. All of the Time Views make it possible to define a play segment and then playback a scene or a portion of a scene, all or only selected objects.

Standard Objects

FlareExpress comes with many movie templates that have embedded Text, Images, Clip-Art, Lines, Shapes, and Buttons that are easy to replace or modify. Interactive Text and Buttons are complex objects that are preconfigured with popular visual and interactive effects.

Flare Publishing

Flare can be used to generate Macromedia's Flash (SWF) files . Flash Publishing provides for the auto-creation of the HTML page that calls the embedded FLASH (.swf) file. Flare Movies are reloadable and shareable with anybody using a Flare product but can only be created with FlareWorks.

TrueType Fonts

Flare Text Objects can integrate any TrueType font. Your Web pages can have dazzling headlines and animated text, that download faster than bitmapped graphics. Flare supports formatting for alignment, bold, italics, underline, text color and outline color.
