Subtitles of the Movie
So, what exactly is Director and why spend hours learning how to use it? Director is a powerful authoring tool idea for creating a variety of media-rich presentations and applications ranging from online 3D games, demos, prototypes, kiosk presentation, e-learning applications for the web and much, much more. Director makes it a snap to create applications integrating most major file formats including video created with Adobe Flash and native 3D content created from 3D Studio or Maya in addition to standard media graphics formats such as Photoshop files, Fireworks files, PING files, JPGs, GIFs and much, much more. Director is especially well suited for creating bitmap graphic and video content or 3D content like I have here delivered in self-contained executable files called projectors. It also can create web-based presentations using a compressed file type called Director Shockwave. That's what's playing here; a Director Shockwave file playing back a 3D video game. Notice that this was built with Adobe Director 11, showcasing Director's good 3D support. Even a short visit to Adobe's website demonstrating various examples of Director content will convince you of the power and versatility of this amazing tool. So you want to visit the website here at adobe.com/products/director and there's a variety of examples, case studies that you can read about with examples of Director products. You can also visit the Adobe Showcase site. Just Google Adobe Showcase and there are a variety of examples here, some of which were created in Director, some of which were created in Flash. But you can read about them and see which ones were done with Director. Let me now move on to the next tutorial and summarize everything you'll learn after watching each of the movies that comprises Director 11 tutorial.
