A new style variation emerged the other day from our test bed of Beta Production tools. This time we've added it to the public beta line-up of VUVOX Studio styles that everyone can access. Embedded in this page is an example piece published with this new style. It shows off a couple things we've been working on.
Firstly, we've been working on styles composites that take on multiple media targets, each can designate their own presentation 'engine'. Cinematic Duality allows you to set the foreground to 'Slideshow' and the background to 'Vuvision'. We've also developed our 'sequence' engine, which overlays images on top of eachother. An example of the sequence engine is found here. It works best when shooting burst mode on your camera.
The layout is very simple here, but the relationship of foreground/background & the letterbox showed real promise. The live tools allows you to add music and change background color. The customize palette allows you to specify which layout you want in your scene.
TIP: make sure that you play with the order of your media in your storyboard to affect the layout and flow of which images flow into the media targets
