After 18 months of intense development, Airsoft Softwair is very proud to announce the immediate availability of the long awaited fourth incarnation of our famous Hollywood Designer. Hollywood Designer 4.0 is a multimedia authoring system that runs on top of Hollywood and can be used to create all sorts of multimedia based applications; for example presentations, slide shows, simple games, and programs. Thanks to Hollywood, all multimedia applications created using Hollywood Designer can be exported as stand-alone executables for the following systems: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86), Mac OS X (PPC & x86) and Linux (PPC & x86). This is a feature that is totally unique in the Amiga world.

Sirena AHIW is a program created with Hollywood 5 for Amiga OS3.5-3.9 , AmigaOS 4.x, MorphOS 2.7 now 3.0 and Windows. It is an easy program to handle your pictures to use on your web pages projects or you need a fast and easy tool to edit them.

An update of the AVCodec plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity has just been released. This update fixes some problems with WMV video files. A new feature is that the plugin now establishes a gateway to Hollywood's sound stream interface so that Hollywood can now play audio files supported by the FFMPEG codec collection as well, for example M4A/AAC (used by iTunes). This is especially useful on systems like AROS and Linux because Hollywood doesn't support MP3 playback on these platforms by default.

You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5.0's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel) and Windows are provided.

We have gathered user feedback after releasing DigiRoller 1.1, the player and renderer of DigiBooster 3 and DigiBoosterPro 2.x music modules. The new, 1.2 version has most of suggested features implemented and a reported bug fixed. The program is also translated to Spanish now. Read more for list of changes.

DigiRoller is a standalone replayer for DigiBooster Pro 2.x and DigiBooster 3 music modules. Version 1.1 contains the latest replayer engine featuring AHI-independent DSP echo effect. It is backward compatible with old echo ("V", "W", "X", "Y" and "Z" commands are fully supported), but the effect is processed inside the engine, so it is always active. Echo in AHI may be safely turned off. Additional feature of the new echo (which will be used in DigiBooster 3) is a new echo mode (command "V2"), where each track can have independent echo parameters. Another new feature is phase assisted stereo panoraming. Positioning instruments with not only amplitude, but also small phase shifts improves the music experience.

DigiRoller 1.1 includes other improvements in the replayer as well: working sample offsets (commands "9" and "E7") and fixes to "B" and "D" commands. DigiRoller is a free program and may be downloaded from the DigiBooster site http://www.digiboosterpro.de .

Jack 3.1 is now available for immediate download for all Amiga-like operating systems. Non-AmigaOS 4 users should read the notes outlined below.

For the time-being Jack can only be downloaded from OS4Depot.net. Installation and executables or all Amiga-like operating systems are included in the distribution.

The multitrack audio application Audio Evolution 4 has now been released as freeware! After the freeware AmigaOS4 and AROS versions, it's now finally time for the MorphOS version! You can download it for free from here:

AE4freeMorphOS.lha

or from the Purchase section of the Audio Evolution website. I hope you will enjoy it! The source code will be released later. For more information on Audio Evolution for Android, Windows and OSX, please visit http://www.audio-evolution.com. The Android version can actually read AE4 projects too, but might require some hand editing of project files to take out hardcoded paths.

Airsoft Softwair has just released a very special Easter egg for all Hollywood users: A Hollywood plugin for videos created with Gold Disk's famous MovieSetter tool. Movie Setter is renowned in the Amiga community because it is the tool which Eric W. Schwartz used to create his legendary clips like the Aerotoons, Flip the Frog and Clarisse Cat, Sabrina, the intro of Team17's Superfrog, the very funny Anti Lemmin' Demo, and of course the Juggette clips.
