This software is moving way beyond choose your own adventure. You can have multiple relations between clips. It is targeted at low budget creations, therefore you don’t need to find a budget. You can set the amount of lives on a clip, it can die and never be seen again, or it can keep appearing, and keep being seen.

Bridging Clip:  Also known as Clustering. This function takes the user to another category or section. There is a transitional video to take viewers from one topic to another. The designer can cluster the clips into groups. They can control whether the viewer can view all of the topics, or you can bridge the user.

The results of the users’ choices can be predetermined or randomised, according to the filmmaker’s design.
