Review: Pulp Motion!

Don't forget to check out the tip posted earlier today. Pulp Motion is an application that lets you create animations with photos and one of the 35 included templates. It is a shareware that is currently part of the MacUpdate bundle. The MacUpdate bundle now includes 13 applications (Rage MapDesign added today) and is available here. I wasn't really expecting much from this application, being used to the advanced pro apps, but I think it is one of the apps in the bundle that I use the most. It is a solid application with lots of customization options. I was working last week on a slideshow DVD in DVD Studio Pro. I was doing an hybrid disc with both a regular version and an HD version on the same DVD. I didn't use any animations in the main slideshows, because I wanted to keep a simple look. I was however able to create a great intro animation that loads right before the menu. The export features are very elaborate, offering presets for iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, while also offering advanced Quick Time export. I think the only negative point I see with this app is the lack of third-party templates. I would say overall that it is a 4.5/5.
