Linux Week - CrossArtist

According to Softseek, one of the better full-featured multiimedia production tools in the market today is CrossArtist for Linux, which is a Java-based Web design and delivery tool which enables non-technical, creative professionals to create and present rich-media Internet productions.

CrossArtist is a design tool that makes it simple for creative professionals to design and deliver dynamic digital content - without programming.

CrossArtist provides a non-technical environment for dynamic digital content design with pixel-perfect control and high-performance playback in browsers or other reception devices. CrossArtist is a Java-based content design and delivery tool with Java output. The use of Java ensures platform independence, the Java output ensures the media and device independence, and the patent-pending "dVisible" content technology ensures high performance.

The creative results of CrossArtist may be delivered via the Internet or any other IP-based net onto any device with a Java Virtual Machine.

The major drawback is its humongous download of 25 Mb. The good part is it's full-featured and freeware! It takes around 2 hours to download at 28.8 kbps. You'll require Java Virtual Machine installed on your Linux machine as well as about 100 Mb RAM and a 200 Mhz processor, for best effects.

For more information on the product, you can visit the author, CrossArtist Inc. and check out their homepage. Is it worth the download? If you're the multimedia pro and Linux is your home, then definitely yes!
