Vectorian Giotto: Easily Design Flash Animations Without Any Coding

Now we are pleased to announce the winners of the Vectorian Giotto Giveaway. As usual we used Random.org to generate the list of winners.

Below you can see the winners list:

Winners must have received their licenses by now. If you are not the winner this time, do not lose heart as some more giveaways are coming soon.

Before using Vectorian Giotto, creating Flash animations was not my cup of tea. I had no experience whatsoever with Flash animation or graphics tools before. But, with the easy-to-use interface, powerful drawing tools, shape morphing, stunning built-in effects, sound and scripting support, a beginner like me will find it very easy to make incredible, professional-looking movies, while for any expert designer, they can do much more in less time. And if you are short of creativity, you can use any of the pre-installed templates and simply change the text and graphics in it to have a polished flash banners.

In addition, Vectorian Giotto supports many layers and gradient fills as well as intersection, union and difference operations on objects. You can also combine and manipulate text, images and shapes to create complex Flash animation movies. You can set key animation parameters such as dimensions, background color and frame rate. You can preview your animation inside Vectorian Giotto without launching a browser or external player.

Other amazing effects that you can easily apply to your animation are you can make objects translate, rotate, change size, change color or gradient fill, stretch, skew, or even do at the same time any combination of those effects. It may sound complex but you can apply all of those effects with minimal effort.

Vectorian Giotto lets you transform your creative ideas to cool banners, navigation menus, and other flash animation artworks, with an impressively short learning curve.

Vectorian Giotto Giveaway

By the tag “Ultimate” in Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate, you can easily understand that it is not just another video converter out there. It comes geared with up to 6+ independent components, like Video Converter, DVD Ripper, DRM Removal, DVD Burner, Device Transfer, YouTube Downloader. All this is packed in a neat package whose download size is only 22 MB approx.

Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate comes with fully loaded support for a number of video formats. You will find support from the standard formats like AVI, MP4, MPEG, MOV and MKV to HD video formats like HD AVI(VC-1, MPEG-4), and MTS/M2TS/TS/TRP (AVHD H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2 HD). The audio formats supported by Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate is also fully loaded.

On the main screen of Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate, you just have to drag and drop the videos, select the format into which you want to convert the video, then click on the big Start button (on the bottom right) to start the conversion, while you sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Alternatively, you can also manually add the video/audio files or get it to read directly from a DVD and rip it to your desired video/audio format. You can also add the URL of a video file, get it to download the videos (from YouTube or any other video sites) and add them list of files to be converted. You can also merge all files into a single file.

The software supports a lot of mobile devices too and have custom profiles for some of the popular mobile devices. Device support includes products from Apple which includes the latest iPhone 4, iPhone 4 HD, iPad, iPad HD, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Blackberry, Microsoft Zune, Archos, Creative ZEN, SanDisk Sansa, and other popular mobile devices including Android models, gaming devices that includes PSP, PS3, PS3 HD, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 HD, Wii, NDS, and portable media players.

If you want to convert and transfer songs from your PC to your mobile device and is not sure what audio or video formats are supported by your device, simple select your mobile device model from the list of output formats and the software will take care of the rest. It can also transfer your songs to your iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, Blackberry, Nokia, etc.

Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate also includes a DVD authoring part, but it lacks many important features. You cannot set chapters, manually set the bit rate, etc. apart from choosing one of the predefined profiles available.

Lots of people search the Internet for “How to remove DRM from your Audio/Video files”. The good news for those people is Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate comes with a DRM removal part that can remove the DRM license from the files, that includes iTunes “Fair Use” .m4p music .m4v video .m4b audiobook, or the “Play for Sure” of Windows Media protected .wma .wmv files, or even BBC iPlayer WMV, Audible Audiobook AA. Similarly, it supports easily ripping CSS copy protected DVDs.

One thing that I will like the developers to look seriously into is the video conversion process. In my test, I tried to convert a HD music video which was around 90 MB in size into MKV format (using the normal video quality). Before conversion, Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate predicted the size of the converted file to be around 50 MB. But, I was really surprised to find the size of the converted video to be around 400 MB after completion of the task! This is something the developers should really fix.

Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate also comes with a very basic video editor. You can use this video editor to trim videos, crop videos, adjust image quality like brightness, contrast, saturation and apply fancy effects like embossed, negative, and old film and watermark.

It also comes with a video cutter, using which you can obviously cut videos.

Verdict:

Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate does have its own share of good and bad features, but overall Daniusoft Video Converter Ultimate is a good multimedia software that consists of a lot of additional features other than being just a video converter.

For:

• Wide support of around 150+ audio/video formats.
• Custom profiles for many popular mobile devices, gaming devices and portable media players.
• Apple iTunes not needed for transferring songs to iPod, iPhone, and other Apple products.
• Removes DRM from media files that includes “Fair Use”, “Play for Sure”, etc. DRM protections.
• Multithreaded technology that helps in toughest computing tasks like Hi-Def video encoding for sharing on DVD.
• Easy to use video editor and video cutter utilities.

Against:

• YouTube Downloader not working.
• Lack of features in the DVD authoring part.
• Some bugs in video conversion.

For eliminating this disadvantage, many developers came up with portable application launchers that works and looks like Windows Start Menu. CodySafe Sigma is one such application launcher menu for the portable apps installed on your USB flash drive. It offers many features normally not found in any other portable apps launchers. The icing on the cake? The developer has generously offered a discount coupon code to My Technology Guide readers as well as 15 free licenses for CodySafe Sigma, you can find the details about this giveaway at the end of this article.

After installing CodySafe Sigma on your USB flash drive, you will find a small icon  in the system tray that allow easy access to the menu. It runs automatically if you have autoplay enabled in your computer.

As you can see, in Windows 7 and Vista, the menu fully supports Windows Aero. It looks like the Windows Start menu, but only provides quick access to portable apps, file and folders stored on your portable device. It also shows the drive letter assigned to the portable device and the amount of disk space used along with the total amount of disk space.

One of the most notable features of CodySafe Sigma is its ability to download and install your choice of portable apps directly from within the menu. You have to simply click on the Apps Depot button on the menu, browse through the categories of applications and click on the install button to install it in your portable apps directory.

From simple accessories, to web browsers, to security apps, to games, to image editors and many more, you can easily have every app you need easily.

In the CodySafe Control Panel, accessible via the Options button in the CodySafe Sigma menu, you can can find different system settings, that controls how CodySafe Sigma behaves.

You can also change the language, check the drive integrity using Drive Doctor, setup Hot Keys, change CodySafe Sigma Themes, add or remove portable apps using the Applications Manager, and setup Find-If-Lost, that will help somebody return your USB drive to you if it gets lost.

The Device Doctor function includes autorun virus protection (ViruSense) which includes real-time monitoring feature with automatic scan. It can also automatically fix disk errors, and, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors on manual scans.

The Application Manager offers many features for easy application management, addition of new applications, autorun management and also offers scripts feature.

You can download and add different CodySafe Sigma themes to customize CodySafe Sigma further. But, it would have been great if CodySafe would have released information on creating your own personalized themes.

CodySafe Sigma is a commercial paid software. It costs $9.90, but we think that the price is very reasonable for the additional features that it provides. The developers also offers a free version of CodySafe Sigma named as CodySafe Free which you can download from here. You can compare between the different versions of CodySafe and decide for yourself, which one will be suitable for you. The developers are also working on CodySafe Protect which is in beta version now and you can help the developers by downloading and testing the beta version for free and providing them with your feedback.

We found CodySafe Sigma as an excellent product that simply works great and offers great features. You can also download a free demo to test it yourself and see if it suites you.

On starting Mediaraptor, you will find the user interface quite similar as seen in Tunebite, Radiotracker, and the ultimate of them all, AudialsOne, divided into two parts.

On the left, you can search for the artists whose songs you want to convert and save the files and Mediaraptor will automatically fetch and tag your files correctly from the Internet. You can also create a Wishlist to simultaneously watch a thousands of internet radio stations. You can also record media content directly from the browser as you surf the media sources.

On the right, you will find an in-built media player to play your recorded media, that also displays you lyrics, cover art and other details. You can easily burn your media files to a CD, create ringtones for your phone, and export the file to play in an external player like Winamp, iTunes and Windows Media Player. You can also synchronize your portable media players.

You will also find the Organize feature that we have seen in the other products of Audials. When you click on Organize you will be able to manage your music and video collection present on the computer easily. You can reorganize all your media files with just a few clicks. You can easily add correct ID3 tags, cover album, song lyrics, and other details to your existing media collection.

Mediaraptor is the best app for the music lovers to fill up their hard drive with tons of music and videos downloaded straight from the social media sources, and organize them too.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of legal ambiguity when using Mediaraptor. Mediaraptor is a very powerful app and it’s ability to find MP3 files that others may have illegally posted to social network sites is the main cause of concern here. You can be safe if you keep in mind while using Mediaraptor that even though it may find these illegal MP3 files too while searching, but you’re not supposed to download those files to your own PC. To stay on the right side of the law, just use Mediaraptor to grab the official music videos from places like YouTube and ignore the MP3 side of this app. For more information about the legal aspects of using Mediaraptor, please read here.

Mediaraptor is available in three versions:

• Mediaraptor Free that can record up to 40 tracks or videos per session and convert them to MP3 or WMV, respectively. You can use it for free without registration.
• Mediaraptor Premium which can grab an unlimited amount of music from social media sites and video clips from places like YouTube and retails for $27.
• Mediaraptor Platinum that can do targeted searches and multiple file format conversions, available for $40.
• Finally, if you want the joint functionality of Radiotracker, Tunebite and Mediaraptor, you should go for AudialsOne, retails for $60.

How to win a free license of Mediaraptor Platinum 4 worth $40?

Rapidsolution Software has been very kind to sponsor 10 Mediaraptor Platinum licenses to be given away at this blog. Its simple and the same rule applies like our previous giveaways and our present running giveaway of Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.
