Avid Marquee® (subsequently branded as Softimage® Marquee) is a cross-platform 3D title-animation software package for IRIX® (Silicon Graphics®) and Windows NT® operating systems. The software was tied closely to the OpenGL® feature set, which required robust OpenGL support in display drivers. The product provided powerful 3D content-creation tools that were easy and intuitive to use. Although Marquee won several industry awards, the standalone version was discontinued in 1999; however, the technology has since been integrated into Avid®'s other video editing systems, including Avid Symphony™ and Avid|DS.

My role on this project:

• Responsible for the interface design for integrating Avid Technology's Marquee Titling and 3D-DVE program into Softimage Digital Studio.
• Worked as a member of the team doing the actual implementation of the tool into Digital Studio using Microsoft's Visual C++ and Developer Studio in the Windows NT environment.
• Conducted user interviews and product requirements gathering for the second generation of Avid's Marquee product.
