With eMagStudio 2, we are adding our new eMagCloud.com hosting system to our list of services on the eMagStudio Portal platform. Offering premium quality, Content Distribution Network (CDN)-based hosting which will guarantee you the very best connectivity, speed and uptime of your enriched publications.

We are adding 500 MBs of high quality hosting space to the Service Pack subscriptions of all of our subscribing customers. And through direct one-click integration with eMagStudio, you will have your first eMag on the cloud in minutes.

 

 

Links, Video and advanced interactivity in Mobile HTML5 Publications

 

We are dedicated to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to publishing to Mobile Devices and supporting the emerging HTML5 standards. eMagStudio 2 builds upon the strong mobile features of previous versions, adding integrated support for YouTube videos, external and internal links, and many of the other advanced interactive features available through the Events & Action system in the Toolbox. All supported Events and Actions have been marked with new "Mobile Enabled" icons for ease of use.

 

 

 

 

Increased publication quality through new Vector Rendering Engine

 

eMagStudio 2 adds a completely new PDF rendering engine to the mix, allowing you to achieve an optimal reading experience of your Flash-based publications. Vector rendering means that your text and vector-based illustrations will be presented to the reader in a resolution that perfectly matches their screen resolution and browser setup, and offers increased readability, sharper graphics and overall improved quality.

 

 

New SlideShow tool adds rich effects to your publication with only a few clicks

 

One of our strongest motivations behind creating the eMagStudio Digital Publishing Platform has always been empowering our users to create enriched web content with no technical hassle and no programming. eMagStudio 2 expands on the easy-to-use media features, and adds the new SlideShow tool to your palette of options for enriching and enhancing the presentation of you publications.

The SlideShow tool lets you add slides from your local hard drive in the form of a folder of images, through direct integration with Media RSS feeds or even presentations from SlideShare.net. You can customize the interface and transitions and use it on-page or in the background or foreground of your publication.

 

 

 

 

Links, Sharing and Custom Statistics tracking


Here is a small Christmas present for all of our subscribing customers- your eMags have been tracking statistics on clicks and sharing since version 1.2.0.10. We are now rolling out the interface update to eMagStudio Statistics that gives you full access to your accumulated and future statistics on clicked links, and sharing on social networks and through email.

To further enhance the level of your publishing intelligence, we are adding support for Custom Statistics events. Custom Statistics ties directly into the Event & Action system of eMagStudio, and allows you to assign custom tracking to almost any object or event in the eMagStudio Toolbox- giving you access to an unprecedented detail level of Statistics in your future publications.

 

 

 

The new SpeedLoader increases the speed of you Publications


Fast delivery of your publications is at the heart of our service, and we have been working hard to come up with a solution that makes the speed benefits of a centralized web-based system available to our customers, while still retaining the control and SEO / branding advantages of a self-hosted system.

Presenting the Speedloader! A new background system of eMagStudio which relocates all of the files that eMags have in common into one central location, giving you the full benefit of file-caching on your readers' computers, while still allowing you to host the publications on your own website. The SpeedLoader is available in two versions: A hosted, hassle free version on our high-speed hosting infrastructure, or a self-hosted edition which can be deployed on your existing website or hosting setup.

 

 

 

 

Amazon S3 / CloudFront integration


We continue to pursue our company motto: Publish Anywhere! eMagStudio 2 expands the publishing destinations of eMagStudio to now include direct publishing into the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) as well as the Amazon CloudFront CDN. We love the Amazon Webservices here at eMagCreator, and believe in sharing the benefits of great technology with our customers on all levels.

 

More Social Network sharing, Media Link import and new Skinning system

A popular request from our users in the past months has been the expansion of the Share This! system to include support for LinkedIn. eMagStudio 2 ups the ante, and adds direct support for LinkedIn, Google and the AddThis sharing service, allowing your eMags to be shared directly on more or less any social network or bookmarking site in existence.

 

In eMagStudio 1.2 we introduced the completely re-done Link Importer, and in eMagStudio 2 we are adding the new Media Link functionality, which allows you to directly import media linked from your PDF file using the Open File action available in Adobe Acrobat and InDesign. Video, Audio and Images can be imported using this method and will be automatically included when your publication is published.

 

Furthermore, eMagStudio 2 introduces the all new Dynamic Media Link feature, which can be enabled from the Document Properties of your eMag. The Dynamic Media Link system identifies external links from your publication to common media sources such as YouTube, Flash files, Video files and Audio and automatically opens the content inside your publication, ensuring that your readers stay engaged and do not leave your site. Dynamic Media Links also open up endless possibilities in link automation when combined with the advanced link import features already in eMagStudio.

 

Last but not least, we have spent significant time on one of our personal darlings. The Skinning system for both Flash and HTML5 publications has been completely redone for eMagStudio 2. We have now migrated our whole skinning system to be based on Adobe Illustrator, and with new templates and detailed instructions, you should be up and skinning in no time. To get started, open the "Help->Advanced->Developer tools" menu in eMagStudio and have a look in the "Skinning" folder. Skinning for Flash publications still requires the use of Adobe Flash Builder, but the workflow is very streamlined and visual, and we have added skinning support to every interface object in the publications.

Please be aware that if you were working with skins for eMagStudio 1.X, then your existing legacy skins will not be compatible with eMagStudio 2. We are, of course, sad that we have to break backwards compatibility, but hope that you will appreciate the major improvements the new system brings.

 

And all the rest...

We could go on for 10 pages about eMagStudio 2, but we would rather see you get going and try it out for yourself. So here are the rest of the changes in ultra-short bullet form:

 

  • Support for localization and text customization of Mobile HTML publications

  • Performance improvements on iPad

  • Major design facelift of the eMagStudio interface

  • Fine-tuning and polishing of all the eMagStudio built-in skins

  • Usability enhancements on the Statistics Module

  • And many, many little fixes and tweaks - hope you spot them :-)
