CommonPhotoStar is an advanced interactive photo viewer, can dynamically zoom, pan photos and record the actions, producing a unique sightline flash, with rich interactive zooming and panning feature, giving people virtual photographic experience.
With ordinary timeline tuning operation, flash designer need to be very carefully controlling any minor zooming and panning effects in order to mimic practical photographing. This usually requires huge amount of time in estimating and tuning the actions on the timeline. That's why it's nearly impossible to get done a flash with even 1 minute playing duration of such mimicking effects, unless you spend amazing amount of your precious time tuning the timeline, times and again, say, for about one month for any one piece of simple work?
Facing such situation, the designers have no other choices but to omitting details. They like to use as few key frames as possible and preferred a cartoon-like flash works.
Software giants like Microsoft and Adobe had been ever carrying out researching programs, in hope of finding ways out of the puzzlements, relieving web designer's workload. Microsoft PhotoStory is such an example. Within PhotoStory they set up some templates for designers, to help avoiding, to some extent, tuning timelines.
In fact the concept of Templates here was not really inventive, Flash Template Software had long been flooding the world. Toufee is a typical example.
However, these are all merely the same thing in actual fact. The basic functions were copied among each other. Never did their flash works can avoid the mechanical feature doomed by pre-programming, and the sightline-elasticity of these tools is all but zero.
While it's common practice for any other flash tools producing any minor zooming & panning actions by tuning timeline or by using pre-programmed templates, CommonPhotoStar will get better results simply by making a mouse movement sifting flash designer's sightline.
Thanks to its build-in powerful advanced viewer, CommonPhotoStar made a conceptual revolution, for the first time created a global new concept - Sightline Media. As a matter of fact CommonPhotoStar is not a dedicated flash tool, the core component within the software is a dynamic interactive picture viewer. With the help of this unique viewer, user could conveniently interact with every picture in a photo album or with any photo in a local pc, in full screen. The interaction process could be recorded, producing movies.
