Issue #20      March 23, 2001      The Golden Lasso of Truth What's New Elegant Media has published the first "snapshot" version of their impressive Titan project and are charging a "symbolic" fee of $5 to gauge interest in the project. Titan 0.1 Alpha is a pre-release version of Elegant Media's digital media editing system. It allows you to edit, record, arrange, capture, render, and otherwise produce digital media (audio and/or video). You can manipulate clips in several ways, such as moving them, resizing them and splitting them. Projects can be saved and loaded. Since this is only a snapshot, they can't give any promises on the functionality or stability of the application. However, they think it's well worth the five bucks spent, and I'd have to agree.
