Softpedia Editor's Review for Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder
|
The ultimate flash text effect tool for a web designer
Written by Elena Opris on May 10th, 2012
Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder is a software with a pretty self-explanatory title - it allows you to design animations and banners in the Flash environment.
The interface of the tool is clean and easy to work with. It is even possible to preview results as you apply effects.
So, you can get started by setting the movie dimensions (width, height and frame rate), add a border and change background properties (color, image or SWF clip).
But you can also compress the movie, enable looping mode, show a preloader, insert links, add sound and insert text items (apply effects, set text position, timing and font style).
On top of that, you have the option to preview the animation or banner in the default web browser, save and load templates, as well as copy the HTML code to clipboard.
The simple-to-use program takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and can guide you to an online FAQ page. No errors have occurred during our tests and Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder did not freeze or crash.
On the other hand, you cannot save or preview animations in the unregistered version, which makes Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder a little difficult to evaluate. Also, we have noticed that some important features are missing. For example, you cannot set the banner to launch a link if the user clicks on it. We recommend Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder with reservations.
