Traditional methods of delivering content are increasingly becoming less preferred and less popular because of various reasons such as high cost of such delivery mechanism, high demand for user interactivity, high costs, global audience, internet boom, and in general as a practical matter because of the vast spread of audience in today’s world. With the advancements in internet, information, technology, and the global presence audience, the internet has become the preferred medium to deliver content not only for learning but also to add richness and interactivity to the content. It has never been more important than today to stay efficient, competitive, cost effective, and professional in producing and publishing content on the internet. But, delivering such content via the internet is not free of problems raising concerns about security, intellectual property, management, effectiveness, and size of learning content. Notwithstanding these concerns there are many ways of delivering content on the internet but they either have many shortcomings or require extensive customizations and may not fully offer protections from the issues that beset online content delivery. Furthermore, finding software that provides a single source of comprehensive set of tools and resources to create and publish content is not an easy task. But, Flair from Wildform (http://www.Wildform.com) is an excellent all-in-one software solution that enables users to create and publish a wide variety of content that is interactive, rich, high quality, small in size, reliable, and robust without compromising above mentioned issues or the quality of the content. Flair makes use of the widely popular flash technology to make content creation, publishing, and use very easy. Flair not only enables creation of presentations, tutorials, and demos it also enables creation of animations, surveys, quizzes, surveys, slide shows, and integrates a wide variety of tools to help users accomplish much more. Flair can be used by the broad spectrum of users from novices to professionals, individuals to organizations, and entities to institutions to produce comprehensive and professional flash content for online delivery.
Installation of Flair is very intuitive and easy to use. There were no problems whatsoever in installing the software. Flair has a very intuitive and easy to use user interface. The menus, toolbars and navigation panes provide quick access to many program features, components, and settings. The different panes in the program windows can be auto hidden to view a larger editing area. There is practically little to no learning curve but even if there is some learning involved the help documentation is very comprehensive in explaining the software and its usage. Furthermore, Flair has many wizards that help you create your content very easily and are great time saver. These wizards enable users to hit the ground running without spending too much time trying to figure out how to do things. Not only is Flair simple to use it is indeed packed with advanced features and capabilities that leverage flash technology to deliver excellent quality, professional flash animations to users.
I think some of the key features of Flair are the extensive types of flash animations it supports, extensive animation choices it provides, availability of a variety of objects, extensive flexibility and customization of animations, ability to import from and export to multiple formats, and much more. I think the built in wizards are a great strength of Flair and are particularly useful to quickly created animations. There are many wizards to support creation of many different types of flash animated content. In addition, I think the extensive libraries of objects that are available in Flair are unique to it and are very useful in creating any conceivable shape or animation. Another plus point in Flair is the vast number of different animation types available that can be used to create animation effects. I worked with a couple of other Flash animation creators and noticed that the object library is not as extensive as it is in Flair. Another powerful feature of Flair is the ability to customize the animations. Flair also provides capability to create highly customized or sophisticated animations using the available settings. Flair has a timeline editor that gives a visual indication of animations sequenced in time and enables precise editing of the content. Flair also has many predefined players and pre-loaders and it offers capability to add special effects, players and pre-loaders to animations to add unique and rich perspective to the final content. Flair supports importing of a multitude of formats and also supports the conversion to many different formats. One feature unique to Flair is the comprehensive suite of features that make possible the creation of all aspects of learning content creation. Flair supports the creation of tutorials, presentations, demos, quizzes, surveys, animations, etc. all from one single application. There is not a single software out there that can boast this unified, comprehensive, all inclusive feature set in a single software. Flair has a built-in audio and video recorder to record and embed screen activity and include in flash presentations which makes capturing and embedding live video in your content very easy.
In conclusion, Flair is a very good, multi-featured software that is very easy to use. It is a one stop shop for creating and publishing flash animated content. It allows anyone with any type of skill level to create presentations, tutorials, demos, quizzes, surveys, animations, etc. The various wizards help creation of flash animated content a breeze. Flair has extensive set of animated features and objects that enable the creation of basic to advanced animations, text or object animations, and many more kinds of animations. Flair offers many possibilities in the creation of flash animated content which is limited only by one’s imagination. It allows creation of rich, interactive, appealing, professional, and dynamic content that is superior in quality, small in size, and capable of being published in a variety of formats. The possibilities of creating stunning and rich dynamic flash animations are unimaginable with Flair. Flair lets one accomplish ones goal of having software to produce flash animated content but also get a lot in return in the form of various other features. I am particularly pleased with Flair because it is very easy to use yet very powerful; provides vast number of advanced features, provides many wizards to assist user in content creation, allows creation of variety of flash animations which in my opinion a great feature in Flair. There is no doubt people across the board will find Flair a very useful and cost effective means of producing flash animated content.
