KoolWizard

KoolWizard is a software that enables you to create animations and animations in just a couple of steps. It offers a set of tools that allow you to string several frames and export them as SWF, GIF, AVI or MP4 files.

The program provides a clean and intuitive interface, so you shouldn't have any problems getting around its features. It can be used by novices, but experts are going to find the application severely limited compared to KoolMoves, developed by the same company.

You can use essential tools, such as select or move objects or points, add a regular or dynamic text, import images, as well as create an empty movie clip or button. You can also add transition effects, and modify the background color.

Selected objects can be converted to a movie clip or button; lines and standard shapes can be drawn point by point, but the options are limited.

You can fill frames with a solid color, gradient or image, scale, rotate, flip, slant, squish, perspective, as well as add various effects (such as fade, size, spin, drop shadow).

Moreover, you can edit the frames, zoom in and out, rearrange their positions, move the movie frame, preview the timeline and storyboard of the project, increase the film length by duplicating frames, change its speed, width and height, preview it in the web browser, and more.

The export formats are not that many compared to KoolMoves, but you can still use this application to save as SWF, GIF, AVI or MP4 files.

To sum it up, the application uses a moderate amount of system resources, includes a useful help file with images and interactive tutorials, supports several languages and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. However, experts are not going to create long movies with it. It is well suited for smaller, personal projects.
