Summary: Is there a good video presentation program around for the Amiga?

Fellow Amigans!

The economists I'm working for think about pepping up their presentation
techniques. We've got an *%#-PC, but I would rather be in a position to
convince them that the Amiga is what they need.

They want:
 Step 1: Replace the old overhead transparancies by a computer hooked up to
         the conference center's video screen.
 Step 2: Come up with really fancy presentation graphics which, e.g.:
       o  lets the graph crawl over the screen,
       o  fades parts of a slide in or out.

I believe that Aegis Impact could do Step 1. But I have no idea about Step 2.
I assume that hooking up an Amiga to a video screen/projector is no
difficulty at all, no?

I've seen some *%# Sales Reps doing a pitch using something like "Storyboard"
(I'm not sure about the name); is there an adequate program around?
