HyperStudio 5

Create projects with game-like interactivity, one-click links to Google Earth and Maps, make movies with subtitles and masks, layer animations and multiple movies with different transparencies, paint with effects and editable brush strokes.

Use menus, drag and drop, or the toolbar icons. With HyperStudio's intuitive environment, automatic attributions for items brought in from the web, iLife integration, and collaborative possibilities using DropBox, you have no excuse for sitting on the sidelines. Go for it. Create digital culture!

• Create your own "green-screen" videos that put you right into your project as an "interactive video figure". Narrate your project, or create board games with you as the interactive "player" right in the game!
• Your projects can now interact with real-world temperature, light, and pressure sensors, as well as motors and servos using the Arduino microcontroller. Many new types of robotics, science and engineering projects are now possible.
• Play subsections of the same movie or sound with multiple buttons, and more precisely set beginning and end points using the arrow keys.
• Multi-touch inputs such as newer Apple trackpads, Magic Trackpad and new interactive whiteboards are now supported so that you can scale and rotate objects in the browse mode.
• More flexible card-to-card timing and transitions when exporting as a card-to-card movie.
• Easier cropping of graphic objects.
• Automatic Timer for "Arriving at Card". This is a very handy way to have text boxes, animations, or anything else start after a preset delay when arriving at a card.
