2. Installation
To install ElasticDreams you need the system
software, version 1.9 or higher, or the SMART-
EDIT software, version 2.1 or higher.
The system version is displayed in the
information field of the menu “System settings”
(below left).
Leave your Casablanca on and select the
button “Install product” in “System settings”
so that the appropriate window appears. Then
insert the installation SmartMedia card into the
Casablanca drive so that the gold contacts are
below and the folded corner is pointing forward
to the left (in the direction of the Casablanca).
Push the card into the slot until only about
half a centimeter remains outside and you feel
resistance.
The software “ElasticDreams” is now displayed
in the window. Select the entry from the list
and click on “activate”. An entry dialog is
displayed for entering the key code you have
obtained from your dealer. After that, a message
is displayed indicating that the installation
process is finished. You can then remove the
SmartMedia card.
If you want to install the program as a demo,
click “Cancel” in the entry dialog after you have
selected the program and clicked “activate”. The
word “Demo” now appears after the program
name.
Click on “OK” to close the window and then
remove the SmartMedia card.
ElasticDreams is now installed as demo version.

3. What is ElasticDreams?
ElasticDreams is a collection consisting of five
effects - four transition effects and one Image
Processing Effect.
All effects modify an image by using manual
and/or algorithmic distortions (warp and
morphing effects).
The program features simple but powerful tools
to enable you to manually or automatically
modify an image or transform it into another.
ElasticDreams always creates fluid movement.
Enlarge body parts, close an eye, lengthen
nose and hair. Change somebody into another
person, or transform an object elegantly into
another!
The result is an astounding gradual, fluid
transformation that can make the high point of a
perfect video.
Let animals or objects speak using your own lip
movements as the template.
Or simply use the available possibilities to create
effective transitions between scenes.
