With Twister, artists will now have access to VDS' famous content
creation tools and file transfer utilities right from within a single user
environment. This includes a full suite of comprehensive paint tools and
brushes, unlimited layering capabilities, and sophisticated image processing
and masking tools developed specifically for Broadcasters. In addition,
most Photoshop plug-ins may be run from within Twister, allowing access to
hundreds of inexpensive image effect libraries currently available. All in
all, Twister will bring unprecedented content creation capability to any
graphics facility.
Improved Workflow
Twister provides the ability to work quickly and directly with industry
products, eliminating file format conversion and aspect issues generally
associated with many PC graphics applications. Twister is also very
template driven, reducing creation time by reusing layer formats and other
graphic elements and presets.
