FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALEM, NH -- Virtix, Inc. announces the immediate availability of Virtix Bravo and Virtix Echo, the first special effect packages that utilize the new iMovie(R) Plug-in Software Development Kit from Apple Computer(R) (NASDAQ:AAPL).

OS 9 users will be able to use all of these same effects through the traditional iMovie slider interface.
