Vancouver, B.C. – December 23, 2002 – Totally Hip Inc. is proud to introduce LiveStage Professional Version 4.0 for Windows. LiveStage Professional has become an indispensable tool in developing powerful, cross platform interactive content, and this Windows version brings all the major advances in the LiveStage Professional 4.0 for Mac released in September to a fully cross-platform status.

With LiveStage Professional 4 the user interface has been completely redesigned to emphasize working in a distinctly visual environment for greater productivity. The greatly improved look and feel adds dozens of productivity features that will have experienced developers working faster and more efficiently, and new users creating powerful content quickly.

Our existing customers are going to be impressed from the very moment they launch and install LiveStage Professional 4.0, and new users are going to adore Version 4.0’s new FastTracks™ and Media Synchronizer. FastTracks will have them creating intricate projects within minutes of opening the software. Users will be marveling at the ease of video and sound track synchronization.“
