Quick Frame Sequencer (QFS)

(click to stop animation, double click to restart)

Quick Frame Sequencer (QFS) makes crisp, sharp, QuickTime videos from your images and movies.

QFS first started out as an internal project at Optunis. We believe that video on the web is the most effective way to communicate ideas. And because our ideas are important, we wanted to create crisp, tack sharp screencasts. We like QuickTime because it lets you download the videos for offline viewing. We quickly found that it was difficult to combine slides (or images) with our screencasts. MS Powerpoint only creates certain fixed size images. QuickTime Pro makes it difficult to resquence our images, or combine images of different sizes.

Quite frankly, we were quickly annoyed, and didn't see an obvious solution. Since we're programmers, we decided to write a program that would let us :

import images of different sizes and position them where we want
always work with the original full-resolution images
set background images and colors for the screencast
set a foreground image
reorder image sequences around
set individual duration times for each slide image
combine images and movies together

So, we tossed this program around internally, made some improvements, and added some transitions. Then it occurred to us, that if we were annoyed, maybe other people out there were also annoyed. So, we decided to clean up the program, add some help files, an installer, and a web page, and voila - QFS. You can use QFS to :

create web presentations
create animation sequences
create slideshows from still images
mix still images and movies

Capabilities include:

importing image data of various formats, and other QuickTime movies
resizing and repositioning images
add backgrounds and foregrounds
resequence images
individually timed image durations
transitions (disolve, page curl)
add sound to an image

A single user license for QFS is available for $29 standalone. You may also purchase our imaging package (licenses for QFS, IET, and ChromaKeys) for just $79!

You can download and use QFS to make QuickTime movies even without a license. QFS will put a small banner at the bottom of the movie which says it was created with QFS, and display a link to Optunis's web site. If you purchase a license, the banner goes away.

We don't like being annoyed, and we think you also don't like being annoyed. If you find that QFS is bugging you because it is lacking a feature, or you find a bug, send us an email at feedback@optunis.com.
