DOMEXF PLUG-IN SIMPLIFIES CREATING CONTENT FOR DOMED THEATERS

Nashua, May 1, 2006

Sky-Skan is pleased to announce the DomeXF plug-in for Adobe After Effects 6.5 and later. This plug-in joins the growing set of production tools from Sky-Skan specifically for domed environments. With DomeXF, After Effects is now able to create output for Full Dome and partial domed theaters. Familiar sliders and other common After Effects controls make producing content quick and comfortable.

The DomeXF plug-in offers three Full Dome video transformations: standard, panoramic, and fisheye. These options allow the user to choose the best effect for their source images. Fine-tuning can be previewed without rendering. With DomeXF, producing a dome master for distribution has never been easier.

The DomeXF plug-in for Adobe After Effects is available from Sky-Skan for $395. Sales of the plug-in are available through Sky-Skan's headquarters, phone number +1 603-880-8500, or E-Mail office@skyskan.com.
