An application for creating animated titles for video presentations. TitleMaker supports TrueType fonts and Type 1 fonts through Adobe Type Manager. Included are Disk Copy 4.2 images of the install disks. Unpack the download with MacZip.

Designed for use with a color monitor. Although the application was released at the time of System 6 and 7, I have verified that it works with System 9 on a PPC (G3).

VideoWorks is an ancestor of Director, the multimedia creation software. Apparently MacroMind used VideoWorks to create the Interactive Guided Tour that Apple bundled with most Macs at the time.

MusicWorks is a music notation/composition program. According to Wikipedia, this program was originally called, "SoundVision, a combined music and graphics editor. Before the release, the graphics editor was removed, and SoundVision became MusicWorks." Also for those who didn't know. MacroMind eventually became a part of Macromedia, which, of course, got caught in front of the Adobe Systems steamroller.
