eZediaMX version 2.0 (MAC/WIN)

eZediaMX version 2.0 is touted as the "world's most friendly, easy-to-use, multimedia software for Windows and Mac OS." It may be that, with powerful capabilities, such as automated button and pull-down menu creation, and drag-and-drop importing of a wide variety of media.

The program is free of burdensome scripting, programming, or coding, and provides intuitive controls for linking visual sequencing, branching for interactive media display, and controlling timing for objects and interactions. The program's visual nature has made it a favorite for schools and colleges, requiring little or no learning curve. Students can use its basic capabilities to produce displays and e-books, while teachers can author sophisticated interactive training materials, study units, lessons, and testing materials. The program can store, retrieve and calculate data, and can generate and score multiple choice questions. Other features include: basic movie editing tools; support for QuickTime VR nodes and hotspots; complete animation functionality including objects on paths, cell animation, and step animation; realtime recording of sound, narration, and music; audible text, and much more. Users can distribute the free eZedia Player, and projects produced on either platform can be read on the other. $199
