1 Consent of Independent Auditors The Board of Directors Macromedia, Inc. and Subsidiaries We consent to the use of our report included herein in the registration statements (Nos. 33-74202, 33-84208, 33-89092, 33-96188 and 333-3406) on Form S-8 of Macromedia, Inc. and subsidiaries. As indicated in our report, we did not audit the financial statements of Altsys Corporation, a company acquired by Macromedia, Inc. in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1993. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Altsys Corporation for such periods, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
