Studio Next

Besides the regular Studio, current release of Embird includes also a new Studio NEXT Generation program. It is accessible via Embird Editor > menu > Insert > Studio NEXT design. Studio NEXT is faster (it utilizes multi-core CPUs) than regular Studio and has graphical user interface with adaptive rendering for different screens. Studio NEXT is compatible with Studio 2023 and previous versions.

Our NEXT generation technology brings a leap in a graphical user interface design, a full multi-core CPU support and readiness for future multi-platform deployment. New graphical user interface was made so that it adapts smoothly to any common screen resolution and provides large enough and legible text and icons.

Besides release for Windows, Embird and its plug-ins will be gradually released also for Android, Mac OS and iOS, using the same look and feel on all platforms.
