Tutorials / Demos

These tutorials explain how to use Focus Magic in detail. You can either read them in your web browser, or else watch and listen to a multimedia presentation using Flash.

Video Presentations

If you want to watch and listen to the video presentations you must have Adobe Flash (Shockwave Player) installed. Flash has been installed with nearly all new computers over the last two years, but if you don't have Flash installed you can download it from here. You also need a high speed (broadband) internet connection and speakers connected. If you have a low resolution screen (eg. 800 X 600) please press F11 at the beginning of the presentation to enlarge your screen and press F11 at the end to return your screen to normal again.
