By adding movement to stills, suddenly a static slide show turns into an cinematic experience. With Imaginate from Canopus, this kind of production is made easy, and at $199, is relatively inexpensive. Let's take a look at this stand-alone Windows application that also works as a plug-in within Adobe Premiere.

Located on the lobby level of New York City?s Rockefeller Center?home to NBC Studios?the recently opened 7,000-square-foot space is both a classroom and a showcase where high-tech multimedia and presentation technology are used to teach cosmetologists the latest techniques in hair cutting, coloring and care.
