Interactive Content Editor

ZOO’s ICE solution (Interactive Content Editor) allows movie and music studios to cost-effectively produce value-added content for consumers interested in enhanced features and additional content with their digital media downloads. iTunes Extras and iTunes LPs deliver a richer product to film and music fans and quantifiable benefits to the producers.

Enhanced iTunes Features

ZOO’s authoring solution ICE is designed to allow movie and music producers to create enhanced iTunes movies and albums in the form of iTunes Extras and iTunes LP that often use assets designed for other media. This could include DVD/BD packaging, album cover art or CD-audio packaging. Content such as still images, music videos, director’s commentary, deleted scenes, album credits and lyrics are repurposed and used to produce an engaging, content-rich product.

ICE eliminates time-consuming hand programming in creating the html and xml, while also automating the production of all the images by generating constituent images for buttons, backgrounds, etc, from the PSD’s. ICE can efficiently produce the same features and effects found in almost all of today’s iTunes Extras and iTunes LP titles in a matter of minutes. Automated creation of language versions are also a feature.

ICE production features:

• Ability to repurpose assets for menu items and content
• Generates broad range of elements and features including photo galleries, video extras, credits, lyrics, external bonus links/promotions and more
• Produces visualizer effects including fade, scale, transition and rotate
• Automated authoring process reduces errors and QC requirements
