Study Notes

Versatility of Multimedia Projects

Multimedia projects serve multiple purposes: education, training, marketing, and entertainment.
They utilize various media types to convey information effectively.

Features of Multimedia Authoring Tools

Timeline Editing: Allows sequencing of audio, video, images, and text; ensures correct order and timing of elements.
Interactivity: Enables creation of interactive features like buttons and quizzes, enhancing user engagement and control over presentations.
Asset Management: Includes built-in libraries of multimedia assets, saving users time and effort in sourcing materials.
Publishing Options: Projects can be published in diverse formats (CD-ROM, DVD, web, mobile), facilitating wide sharing.

Authoring Paradigms

Scripting Language: Closest to traditional programming; demands longer development time but allows complex interactivity; common examples include Apple's HyperTalk, Assymetrix's OpenScript, and Lingo in Macromedia Director.
Iconic/Flow Control: Optimized for rapid development of projects, particularly Computer-Based Training (CBT); utilizes an Icon Palette for functions and a Flow Line for linking actions.
Cast/Score/Scripting: Uses a music score metaphor; tracks synchronous elements and allows elaborate scripting behavior; ideal for animation-heavy applications; prominent tool is Macromedia Director.
Hierarchical Object: Visualizes objects and properties, permitting complex project designs; has a greater learning curve.
Hypermedia Linkage: Similar to the Frame paradigm but focuses more on conceptual connections without visual links.

Software Examples

Macromedia Director: Notable software in the Cast/Score/Scripting paradigm, useful for developing sophisticated multimedia applications.
