Demo Builder v6.0.0.20
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008
One of the things software users absolutely hate to do is read boring documentation. Most of the time this information leaves you even more confused than you were in the first place. Humans usually learn better when they’re given visual aids to work with. We’ve all seen screenshots included in demos and documentation, but you can take this concept of visual learning even further. A spectacular program called Demo Builder makes learning easier and more enjoyable than it has ever been in the past. This tool allows you to create interactive Flash movies that demonstrate how applications and systems work. Demo Builder would be priceless to any software company or educational institution that is trying to teach people in a simple and effective way.
Recording the activity of your program is a snap. Demo Builder can automatically take screenshots of the action that is taking place in the application, or you can manually take the screenshots yourself. The whole setup is customizable, assuring that you capture exactly what you want.
Once you’re done recording this data, you can then start editing it. This is where Demo Builder really shines. The amount of features in this aspect of the program is wonderful. You work with a familiar timeline format in which you can edit each frame, and add helper objects to your demo. Need to explain what’s going on in a frame? No problem - audio can be added, as well as various notes that will help the user grasp the importance of a particular sequence. This just scratches the surface of what you’ll find in the package.
When you’re finished with the editing process, you can then export the demo in three formats: Flash (SWF), Flash + HTML, and Executable files. In order to deploy it to your audience immediately, consider exporting to FTP or e-mail.
