New Flash-based animation tool for photographic slide shows.

Flash Photo Animation

Amara Software has released a new product called Flash Photo Animation, which allows web designers to create photographic walkthroughs. By adding keypoints and paths to photographic images, Flash Photo Animation allows the creation of slideshows and virtual tours. Images can be zoomed and faded, in and out, paused and assigned hyperlinks. There are also options to create 360 degree panorama views.

Although these effects can also be created in Flash itself, Amara claims that Flash Photo Animation simplifies the design process by not requiring any scripting knowledge or in-depth knowledge of Flash. Unfortunately, the product is currently only available on the Windows platform.
