Taking Lightboxes to the Power of Awesome

We just added lightboxes to the site this week, a feature that has been sorely needed for quite some time now. While we finish tweaking and updating our pages with the new code, I thought I’d share some of the cool features of the Productiontrax.com Lightbox system, and how it can help you with your projects — whether you’re a customer or a contributor.

1. Save your favorites. Lightboxes help you organize your favorite royalty free items on Productiontrax into folders, projects, or whatever system works for you. You need to register to create a lightbox account first, and then just click “Create New Lightbox” to start making lightboxes. You can have different lightboxes for different purposes, ie: a Short Film Lightbox for your upcoming short, or a Client Preview Lightbox, for example. Then, to add a file to your lightboxes, just click on the little lightbulb next to any file listing on PT.

2. Custom Settings. On our lightboxes, you can set them to be private or public. A private lightbox requires a password to access, whereas a public lightbox can be seen without any password. You can also elect to hide the prices on any lightbox, which is handy for showing preview choices to your clients.

3. Embeddable in iFrames. That’s right. One of the most powerful features of our lightbox is that you can embed them in any website that supports iFrams — your personal site, your businesses’ client preview systems, your Facebook Pages. By utilizing a combination of embedding, public, and hide prices, you can create a seamless selection tool for your clients (approval/selection features coming soon). Or, if you show prices, you can offer royalty free music, sound effects, footage, or photos for sale right on your website, complete with streaming previews — very handy if you are a contributor or looking to expand your offerings.

4. Share with your friends, clients, and colleagues. We provide you with a custom URL for every lightbox, which you can share with your friends to make selecting your favorite items easier for groups and long-distance productions. A quick email feature is on its way.

Productiontrax.com Launches New Site Design Expanding to Online Images and Video

Scottsdale, Arizona — January 16, 2008 — Productiontrax.com, a leader in online distribution and licensing of high-quality royalty free music and sound effects, launched a new site design this week. A trusted stock media library for the past 4 years, Productiontrax.com already has 30,000 files of music and sound effects. The new site design will add thousands of stock images and footage clips. The new Productiontrax.com has a social-networking feel in which artists are better able to showcase their work with personalized profiles and comments, as well as a more user-friendly interface for customers, and a new server for faster delivery with the ability to host more traffic.

“Our contributors are the reason for our growth and success over the past few years,” said David Negron, Productiontrax.com founder and CEO. “We wanted to give them the means by which to promote their work. Our goal is to bring independent work to the masses, and this new design was the logical next step.”

Productiontrax.com is known internationally and with its growing success is looking for new member submissions. Unlike its competitors, Productiontrax.com is the only library of its kind to allow member artists complete control of their work and the freedom set their own prices.

Issues of licensing and copyright infringement are becoming more prevalent online as personal computing and networking technology grows. Users are seemingly unaware that such laws exist, causing problems when they release their project to the public. Productiontrax.com provides users with information concerning licensing and allows users to purchase royalty free music, sound effects, stock photos and video clips at reasonable prices.

Productiontrax.com, a leading database of downloadable royalty free music and sound effects, has added several additional music genres and categories to help site visitors find royalty free music faster and easier. Among the additions are a new Blues subcategory within the Jazz main-category, an entire section devoted to electronic music, including styles of Dance, Ambient, Trance, and Techno.

Productiontrax also just made finding royalty free sound effects on its site even easier, dividing sfx tracks into sound specific categories, including Machine sounds, Transportation sound effects (boats, trains, planes, cars), Musical Instrument sounds, People sounds (including crowds, ambiences, laughing, and talking sounds), as well as Nature sounds (including rain, thunder, ocean sounds, waves, and animals – who doesn’t love a good monkey sound effect?), and general ambience and noise.

Visitors will find that their search for sounds will be smoother and faster than before, as the site can quickly narrow the scope of relevant music and sound effects tracks down to as little as 3 possible tracks instead of 300 tracks.

As always, visitors to Productiontrax.com can search and browse sounds by category, instrumentation, emotional content, suggested film genres and more.
