“We are thrilled by Apple’s special event and the release of iBooks Author. The next revision of MotionComposer will come with a new export capability that will create Dashboard widgets – ready to be integrated in a Textbook.”,says Matthieu Kopp, Aquafadas’ CTO.
“Working with Dashboard widgets is the way Apple has chosen to integrate HTML5 in iBooks Author. The possibilities will be countless, from Interactive maps, to animated sequences that will boost the interactivity in these new epub books.”
MotionComposer has been designed from the ground up to be a very easy tool to learn and we believe that it will feel like the right tool for the users of iBooks Author. It relies on very familiar and user-friendly concepts such as slides, states, actions. There is no complex timeline to learn. We are excited to see what teachers, students and publishers will do with MotionComposer.
MotionComposer is available from Aquafadas web store. The upgrade featuring Dashboard export will be a free upgrade.

La prochaine version de notre plugin pour Adobe InDesign permettra aux maquettistes et aux éditeurs de créer des documents au format EPUB 3 compatible avec l’iBooks d’Apple mais aussi avec d’autres canaux de distribution, directement depuis InDesign.
De plus, l’export au format EPUB 3 conservera – autant que possible – les enrichissements du document original. Ainsi les diaporamas, les vidéos, les sons et la lecture à voix haute pourront être exportés au format EPUB 3 en un seul clic.

The next version of our InDesign plugins will enable graphic designers and publishers to create EPUB 3 documents for iBooks directly from Aquafadas plugin for Adobe InDesign, without requiring knowledge of the EPUB 3 format. Moreover, the EPUB 3 export will maintain as many of the original enrichments as soon as possible: slideshows, videos, audio, read-aloud, and more will be transposed in EPUB 3 without requiring any additional work.
