Digital Anarchy, a leading provider of cost-effective special effects software for Adobe After Effects, today announced the immediate availability of Data Animator 1.1 for both Macintosh OS X and Windows. Version 1.1 is the highly anticipated first release for the Macintosh platform. Data Animator is a new way of designing animated charts and graphs, with eight plug-ins that create a wide range of chart types from business graphics to scientific visualization. The plugin set works in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro. "We recognize that many motion designers and video editors are doing business graphics," said Jim Tierney, founder of Digital Anarchy.
Data Animator - Graphic Animations
"With Data Animator, designers will no longer need to rely on clunky chart graphics from PowerPoint or deal with Flash import issues. They can generate charts and graph animations without having to leave After Effects. Their production visuals will be more streamlined and their production time will be significantly quicker." To work with Data Animator, users simply import a tab-delimited text file into a particular chart type, like Pie Chart or Stock Ticker.

The data quickly animates onscreen and is customizable in a variety of ways, including separate controls for the chart and data elements, a column/row sorter, legend/label manager, and depth choice of 2D or 3D charts. Because Data Animator dynamically updates the source data file, it is great for collaborative work and projects started before the data is finalized. The results are perfect for news programs, simulated displays, corporate communication projects, and any other animated visualization of data.
