This is the first I’ve hear of Pachyderm, but the multimedia platform looks wonderful. In his post, Pachyderm Multimedia Authoring Getting Closer to Reality, David Nolan passes this along:
Pachyderm is an easy-to-use multimedia authoring tool that is designed for people who have little or no multimedia authoring experience. Pachyderm is accessed through a web browser and is as easy to use as filling out a web form. Authors upload their own media (images, audio clips, and short video segments) and place them into pre-designed templates, which include built-in functionality for playing video and audio, linking to other templates, and other features. Descriptive text can be copied and pasted in, or authored directly in Pachyderm. Once screens have been completed and linked together, the presentation is published and can then be downloaded and placed on the author’s website, on a CD, or elsewhere. Authors may also leave their presentations on the Pachyderm server and link directly to them there. The result is an attractive, interactive Flash-based multimedia presentation.
Subscription fees are involved, but the ability to create in-depth multimedia packages without having to learn Flash or other programs will likely outweigh those costs.
