TransLucy 2.0 is video software developed by CE Software.
Trans Lucy is a radical new way to watch DVDs on your computer. Unlike other computer DVD players, Trans Lucy lets you float the video display above your other applications, and work through it!

Watch DVDs in a translucent floating window.

Have you ever wanted to watch an educational DVD while working on course material or simply wanted to watch a movie while working on your computer? Now you can. Trans Lucy provides you with the ability to multi-task on your computer taking DVD watching to a whole new level.

Here are some key features of "TransLucy":

  • A Clear button toggles between Clear and Opaque mode. When in Clear mode the video can be presented with different levels of opacity.
  • An Opacity dial controls how see-through or translucent the video display is. The maximum opacity is 100% and the minimum is 10%. When opacity is less than 90% the video display is able to be clicked through to allow working with other applications and documents behind the movie.
  • Level controls where the video display is shown relative to the rest of the user interface on your computer. Two levels are available: Above Everything and Desktop. Above Everything will place the video display above all other applications and documents, even the menu bar. Desktop will place the video display behind all other applications and documents, even the icons on the desktop.
  • A Jog Shuttle is used to quickly advance or rewind the viewing location. For example clicking near the top of the Jog Shuttle on the right side playback advances in a slow motion mode. If you continue to hold the mouse down, but drag lower on the Jog Shuttle, the video will advance at a faster rate.
  • Trans Lucy can be controlled with customizable hot keys. You have the option of setting a Master Key which must be pressed first to enable hot keys to avoid Trans Lucy interfering with command keys in other applications. Trans Lucy even provides you with an option to set a hot key for a “quick hide” option, just in case you shouldn’t be watching a movie while you work.
  • Some Trans Lucy options can be controlled by a scroll wheel. When the mouse cursor is over the Trans Lucy Controller, you can use the scroll wheel to change opacity, change volume or jog video.

    Limitations:
  • Play for only 20 minutes at a time.

    Requirements:
  • Video Card that supports Quartz Extreme.
    TransLucy 2.0 supports english interface languages and works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading TransLucy 2.0 will take minute if you use fast ADSL connection.
