Apple Acquires Prismo Graphics
Apple continues its shopping spree and acquired Prismo Graphics and their INDIA special effects titler and motion graphics product lines.
India 1.0 is described in this MacWorld review:
The program can animate text in every imaginable way--letters can bounce, slide, spray, or wiggle into place. There are also animated textures that make great backgrounds, fades and zooms that you can apply to text or graphics, and numerous glitter effects that wash across text. Some of the effects belong in late-night used-car commercials, but others are downright beautiful and wouldn't be out of place on a network news show. You can customize each effect, and India Titler Pro even has a simple scripting language, called EffectScript, for creating new effects.
They also provided a selection of "professional motion graphics for all broadcast and digital video projects." according to their old webpage.
Their current site is inaccessible... but on 6/20/02 had a statement that reflected the purchase and contact numbers for inquiries.
