Evolution
The evolution of character generator programs for the PC has undergone
massive changes in the past three years. Inscriber released Feature Pak
and Motion Pak. Also, Innovision's AlphaCG includes excellent features.
Now Cayman Graphics
has upped the ante again with a whole new interface, Power CG Plus. The
best part of all this is we, the customers, get to reap the benefits!
Ain't desktop video production wonderful?!
Background
The application was named Power CG because its feature set was extensive
and the program operated very quickly, updating itself so fast that most
of the time we didn't know the changes were being made. But all this speed
came with a problem. Some users felt the interface was not easy to use.
So despite protests from the rest of us, Cayman Graphics decided Power
CG Plus was going to have a new interface as well as a new 32-bit layering
engine for future features. And guess what? The transformation was a success.
The new interface works!
Installation
Installation of Power CG Plus is quite easy. Place the CD-ROM in your
machine and select "Run" from the "Start" menu. Select "CD-ROM" and run
the "setup.exe" program. Then either accept the default directory and
drive or choose your own. Power CG will set up itself to your video and
computer hardware automatically. Make a shortcut of the icon on your desktop
and run the program. That's it!
