Both NetShow™ and RealNetworks® RealAudio® Metafiles can be processed by MVP.

Page Transistions

MVP now includes nearly 40 page and object transition effects, most of which can be customised.  Effects range from smooth motion slides, scrolls and   wipes, to 3D curls, rolls, alphablends, twists, pixelate, radial wipes and surface projections - ripple, water and lens.  The more sophiticated effects provide TV studio effect quality on ePC enhanced computer systems.
