Optimaze's patent pending vector compression engine is capable of compressing Flash's vector output by up to 60% with little or no loss in visual quality.
Optimaze works by importing a .SWF file, compressing any vector images it contains and then re-exporting it once again as a .SWF. Flash movies compressed using Optimaze! are smaller in size, but remain 100% compatible with the Flash 3,4,5 and 6 players!
Multimedia development for the web is all about reaching the widest possible audience with the richest most creative content. Today, over 60% of users still connect to the internet using a 56K modem or worse. Flash developers' clients continually demand the richest possible web content in the most restrictive file sizes. Optimaze! gives you the winning edge over the competition by enabling you to deliver rich, full screen vector images and animations in amazingly small file sizes that your competitors won't be able to match.
The ability to deliver the richest, most creative content in the smallest possible file sizes will give you the edge over your rivals in reaching a larger web audience and in winning and retaining clients. That's kind of obvious. But because Optimaze! reduces file sizes, it can also save you money on bandwidth charges for your own website by cutting the amount of data transfer required to view it. Current users of Optimaze! are already discovering how it can pay for itself !
Optimaze! Top 10 features:
1 Patent pending vector compression engine. Simple one click operation achieves 10- 60% reduction in file size with little or no loss in image quality.
2 Kind to your artwork. Unlike Flash's Optimize > Curves feature, which quickly degrades and distorts vector images, Optimaze! is designed to give you the maximum reduction in file size with the minimum loss in image quality.
3 Optimaze's geometry optimization also improves playback speeds of complex movies, especially on processor-starved devices like legacy PC's, PDA's and set-top boxes.
4 Optimaze! optimizes even the most complex Flash movies (1000 frames+) in seconds, freeing you from hours of tedious multi-frame selection, breaking apart and optimizing work in Flash.
5 Instant visual comparison of compressed/uncompressed movie along with detailed report of file size savings. Coupled with Optimaze's lightning compression speed, this feature allows you to rapidly tweak and fine tune your compression to achieve the best results.
6 Incredibly fine control of compression effects: per symbol, per frame or even varying over time in accordance with the characteristics of your animated scene.
7 Low bandwidth special effects filters. In addition to its amazing vector compression, Optimaze! also includes a library of vector image filters that can create unbelievable animated vector effects in seconds. (Read more on this below).
8 Specifically designed for delivering the smallest possible file sizes and ensuring optimal playback speeds on the next generation of Flash enabled mobile devices like Compaq IPAQ 3900, Nokia 7650, Sony Ericsson P800 and O2 XDA.
9 Ultimate WYSIWYG. The entire Optimaze! tool interface is built and delivered in Flash itself using over 15,000 lines of actionscript! Optimaze's complete integration with Flash allows you to compress and edit your movie "on the fly" while it is actually playing back in the Flash player, exactly as it will appear on the web.
10 Optimaze! works by compressing .SWF's, there is no need for orginal source FLA's.
