Visual Communicator 2 is based on a video pro-
duction process that eliminates traditional editing
timelines to allow for dramatically faster video crea-
tion while making productions that looks as if they
were created for a television newscast.
Visual Communicator 2 introduces Flex Recording
which allows users to shoot segments out of se-
quence or at different times. With Flex Recording
users can start in the middle, begin at the end, or
update any section they’ve recorded at any time.
The new Flex Recording feature in Visual Commu-
nicator will enable you to focus and polish key
points in your business video presentations.
On-The-Fly Editing gives users amazing new ways
to improve their shows by giving them the power to
add or change media such as PowerPoint slides,
graphics, or video while recording their presenta-
tion. This feature is especially useful for those that
wish to stream their presentations live over the
Internet as it enables them to potentially respond to
viewer’s questions and answer them immediately
while displaying complementary graphics or charts
as examples. The In-Place Trimming feature
greatly improves the ease and speed at which us-
ers can
specify which portions of video clips are included in
their presentation and interactively edits their video
clips without having to edit them on a timeline. To
fade audio in or out, a new audio function has been
added to allow users full control over the mood of
their video presentations.
Visual Communicator 2 Web is priced at $199.95,
Visual Communicator 2 Pro at $399.95, and Visual
Communicator 2 Studio at $695.00.
