The MainActor package consists of two parts: MainActor Sequencer and MainActor Video Editor. MainActor Sequencer is a timeline-based video sequencer that includes many powerful features such as hundreds of video effects, video transitions, and 2D/3D paths. It has an intuitive, drag and drop interface that makes video editing and production a breeze! MainActor supports a large number of formats internally and can use Video for Windows and DirectShow for import/export operations.

MainActor VideoEditor (VE) is an animation composer/editor/converter that supports more file formats than any other program of its kind. MainActor VE processes animation files in a format-independent way, allowing you to easily convert MPEG to GIFAnim, AVI to QuickTime, FLC to MPEG, or a host of other formats. You can just as easily assemble animations from individual frames.

With its powerful, yet easy-to-use REXX scripting, you can automate just about every feature of MainActor for batch processing tasks. MainActor can be toggled between English and German menus, dialogs and online help. MainActor is available for Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, Linux and OS/2. (Microsoft DirectX must be installed to use MainActor under Windows 95.)

Supported formats include: AVI, BMP, DL, FLI, FLC, GIF, AnimGIF, IFF-AnimX, JPEG, MPEG-I/II, PCX, Quicktime, TGA and WAV.
