Everyone has a story to tell or something to share, and now Opus gives you the possibility to make it into something special and publish it yourself as a full-blown multimedia publication to the widest range of formats.

Publish your family history or a holiday blog to CD-ROM. Create a music DVD from lyrics and animations - without the expensive video shoot. Write an interactive multimedia novel on the internet or a comic on DVD. Create simple educational programs dedicated to your children's specific needs to give them a headstart in IT or publish your children's bedtime stories on DVD.

Fully-interactive and more sophisticated and more exciting than slideshow software but requires no special skills. Let's you animate text and graphics. Publish to DVD with or without video. Also creates simple games, screensavers and multimedia internet sites.

Create audio-visual portfolios, greetings cards, or think how an multimedia CV would get you noticed.

Opus opens up new ways to make more of your computer and your images, ideas and inspirations.
