Hollywood Designer has everything you would expect from a modern multimedia application: Many colorful icons, images and toolbars, extensive online help system, thumbnail view, 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. Starting with Hollywood Designer 3.0 you can also use the platform independent font engine which ensures that TrueType fonts look exactly the same on every system.

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 objects can be freely scaled and rotated. You can configure the shadow and border settings, transparency, tint color, 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! An unlimited number of transition effects can run at the same time which can be used to create stunning presentations.

Hollywood Designer supports a global timeline which can be used to schedule the presentation of the single pages in every project. You can assign a timestamp in milliseconds to every page and Hollywood Designer will display it when exactly this timne position has been reached. This is perfect for synchronizing a presentation to music, for example.

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 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, open URL and more. Over 40 different action events are supported!

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 or on a full screen for a very refined look of your work! Hollywood Designer comes with an automatic scaling engine that can promote your presentation to any resolution you want. So even if you designed your presentation in 800x600 resolution, Hollywood Designer can still display it in e.g. 1600x1200 by automatically adapting all objects to this new resolution. All vector based objects like texts and forms will look perfectly crisp in the new resolution because they can be scaled without any quality loss! 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 4.7. Hollywood Designer comes on a CD-ROM together with example presentations and an extensive documentation which explains every part of the program. Alternatively, it is also available as a download version which is identical to the CD-ROM version. 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, 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!
