Totally Hip Software has launched a new LiveStage Professional Educational Development Program. The program is designed to assist educators in integrating interactive video authoring with existing core new media programs at a reasonable cost, according to David Gratton, vice president of marketing and sales at Totally Hip.
The LiveStage Professional Educational Development Program consists of a 50-seat site license for US$4,995. Program membership gets you a Certification component that may be added to the site license, complete with course materials and classroom workbooks with supplementary CD-ROMs. Members also get discounts on site license purchases of LiveSlideShow and HipFlics.
Vancouver Film School and Sheridan College, two of the industry’s leading educational facilities, are among the first to collaborate with Totally Hip Software through the LiveStage Professional Educational Development Program.
LiveStage Professional is a QuickTime authoring environment that lets users apply interactivity with special effects and professional tweening to all the media types supported by QuickTime. LiveSlideShow is a QuickTime-based streaming media slide show application that lets professional and personal broadcasters create and share interactive slide shows and photographs over the Internet using Apple’s QuickTime media player and plug-in player. HipFlics is a digital Video enhancing, compressing and processing tool. It can be used as a standalone product or in conjunction with other digital video or Web authoring products such as LiveStage Professional.
