G-Force 3.7.3 - Visualizer plug-in for iTunes. (Demo)

G-Force 3.7.3 - Visualizer plug-in for iTunes. (Demo): "

G-Force 3.7.3
G-Force is an audio visualization plug-in for media players and can also visualize auxiliary or 'line-in' audio. G-Force features fast anti-aliased effects, millions of possible effect combinations, savable and scriptable effects, video file export capabilities, and unparalleled expandability. G-Force is designed to entertain you on its own, but there are manys it can be customized and extended.


G-Force is unquestionably the most dynamic and sophisticated, yet entirely artistic, music visualization available - and it keeps getting better. This is a direct result of creator Andy O'Meara's strong roots in mathematics and computing theory combined with a passion for music and visual art. If you've seen G-Force in action, you know this isn't an exaggeration... see the screenshots for yourself. Andy's unique abilities and experiences will continue to change the face of music visualization, but it will take many months of hard work and concentration: ultra-dynamic, yet highly artistic, music visualization is uncharted waters.


WhiteCap was the first generation, G-Force is the second generation, and the new project, code-named Project X, will be the third generation of this rising class of software. As much as possible, Andy will focus his time on Project X, retrofitting WhiteCap and G-Force as is appropriate. For example, the third generation engine under development will decrease a G-Force and WhiteCap config CPU load by 100 to 10,000 times, allowing incredibly more intricate configs than previously possible. As one user said, WhiteCap will look 'less like a 'wireframe' and more like a 'square of fabric'.'


Digital connectivity and computing hardware are opening new doors for digital artists, but these doors can't be opened without user support. A free version of G-Forcewill always be available, but users can also upgrade to an enhanced version, G-Force 'Gold'. Upgrading to G-Force Gold provides more visual effects and enhanced visual functionality.

SWF & FLV Player 3.5.12.5930 - Flash movie player, pro version available (was SWF Movie Player). (Free)

SWF & FLV Player 3.5.12.5930 - Flash movie player, pro version available (was SWF Movie Player). (Free): "

SWF & FLV Player 3.5.12.5930

SWF & FLV Player (formerly SWF Movie Player) is a free and smart Flash movie player. It is the only stand-alone application for Mac OS that is able to playback SWF and FLV files with plenty of bonus features. It provides handy movie controls, that let you play, rewind, fast-forward and playback movie files frame-by-frame. Flash animators and FLV movie creators often hide things in single frames. Think you saw something out of the corner of your eye? You probably did. Drag along the playback bar to go frame-by-frame to find out.



SWF & FLV Player will browse any web addresses to discover and save all SWF files it uses. If any SWF file requires external resources (it may open and play other SWF or FLV files, load images, etc) SWF & FLV Player will inform you about it and offer to download all the external resources required as well.



SWF & FLV Player also lets you create and manage playlists - play FLV and SWF files randomly or one by one, repeat one item or the whole playlist, save playlists so you can load your favorite movie collection later. With our SWF & FLV Player you can zoom in the movie to see the specific part of it, fit to current window size or restore to original one. Moreover, you can set playback quality (useful for low-end or heavy-loaded systems), manage Flash security policy, check SWF/FLV file's comprehensive information and lots more.



SWF & FLV Player PRO version (available for a small fee) delivers yet more functionality to the users: ability to save currently played Flash movie no matter whether it is loaded from web or locally; switch to full-screen viewing mode; capture the current frame of the movie and produce series of screenshots out of your favorite FLV or SWF movie.



Created with the simplicity and resource efficiency in mind, SWF & FLV Player provides absolute control of the playback and lets you manage SWF and FLV movies at your fingertips. Packed with plenty of options, it provides clean and intuitive interface which will suite even the most refined taste.
