Opinions on HollyWood 4?

I've never really tinkered with HollyWood 4 or similar programs, on the Amiga, PC or otherwise, but for some reason am interested in purchasing and tinkering with it.Comparing to similar programs on the PC, how powerful and PRACTICALLY USEFUL is HollyWood 4?

There IS a search field there, you know?

When used by itself, Hollywood is a nice scripting engine with extensive 2d graphics capabilities. When used with Hollywood Designer, it puts PowerPoint to utter bloody shame.

@RazielQuote:Yes, I am aware of the search function.I have downloaded and viewed a number of demos programs produced using HollyWood, as well as viewing the demo screenshots on the HollyWood producers website. Thankyou for the links you supplied.I have a general idea of what can be produced using HollyWood, BUT, that doesn't really answer my question as to how it compares to other similar programs, does it?

@Astral

I find Hollywood Designer a little bit harder to use than Scala. Ever used that before?

@RudeiNah, not really. Only tinkered for about 10 minutes, if that.

@Astral

I loved Scala myself back in 95-98. I prefer Hollywood Designer compared to Scala Infochanel. Hollywood Designer is VERY powerful and easy to use. Once you start learning some keyboard-shortcuts and the way to work you are able to make nice presentations or similar in matter of minuttes.

It is also great to be able make executables to both amigaOS, windows and macOS.

Using Hollywood Designer it is also possible to make programs, menus, guis and alot more.

Take a look at our homepage www.ferrule-media.no to see some screentshots of commercial software we make using Hollywood Designer.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have got any questions :)
