CEI Simplifies Web Development for EnSight Users with New Flash Compatibility

July 12, 2007; 10:41 AM
Computational Engineering International (CEI) announced today new Adobe Flash compatibility that streamlines the process of publishing animations to the Web for users of EnSight, CEI’s industry-leading extreme visualization application.

Adding to the long list of file formats that EnSight produces, EnSight version 8.2.5 can now create visualizations as Macromedia Flash video files (.flv) and Macromedia Flash format files (.swf), which are both widely used in the delivery of animations via the Web. In addition, the new Flash capability supports lossless image compression, so there is no loss of quality in either format.

“By making it possible to create Flash files directly through EnSight, we’re saving valuable time for EnSight users who want to include visualizations in Web sites, presentations, or customized portals,” said Randall Frank, a senior developer at CEI. “Now, anyone with Adobe Flash authoring tools can read and work with the images and animations created with EnSight without the need for additional format conversion utilities.”

In addition to EnSight, CEI’s free, python-based EnVe video editor is now also compatible with both Flash formats.
