Version 2.1 - FotoMagico Express and ProAugust 23rd, 2007
This is update is free and recommended for all 2.0.x users.
- Color Adjustments for Images (only in Pro version)
- Support for iPhoto '08.
- Exporting for iPhone and AppleTV via preset.
- Exporting for Web now produces a fast-start movie that starts playing immediately.
- Exporting to H.264 (iPhone, AppleTV, iPod, Web) now uses multipass encoding for vastly superior image quality. This results in slower exports though. Read on...
- Some export settings (e.g. web) now feature a "Draft" checkbox, allowing to revert to the old single-pass method of exporting. Exporting with "Draft" enabled only takes a fraction of the time but results in not optimum quality and file size.
- Exporting for DVD now uses DV file format (exception is 16:9 content when using iDVD). This lead to better image quality and less hassle finding the right settings.
- New "Thumb Through" transition. Please give us feedback!
- Added copy/paste animation menu commands so that animation can be applied to multiple slides at once.
- A click in the status line at the bottom of the window now toggles from timecode to regular duration info.
- Changes and updates to German localization and help.
- The integrated German Help has been updated for version 2.
- New splashscreen and icons.
- Splashcreen now displays version and license type.
- Tabbing through controls now works a lot better.
- Behind-the-scenes changes for future versions of FotoMagico.
- Logfiles are now user configurable, which should help to speed up support cases.
- Audiomarkers are now more reliable.
- Made locating iPhoto library more robust.
- Moved alerts at app startup to a later time so that some open events from the Finder wouldn't get lost.
- Fixed typos in various menu commands.
- Made naming of animation related menu commands more consistent.
- Creating a player or screensaver should no longer silently fail. Disk space and permissions are now checked and an appropriate error message is displayed if there is a problem.
- Status line at bottom of window now displays correct values above 1h duration.
- Crashes when quitting the application should be eliminated.
- Application should now behave better if quitting while a slideshow is running.
- Some corrupt file paths for media that could be written by older versions of FotoMagico will now be repaired on opening.
- Letterboxing with anamorphic formats now produces correct results in export.
- NTSC now correctly produces 29.97 FPS.
- The preview now displays using color correction.
- Bugfix for replacing missing media files.
- Resizing sidebar should now be more reliable. In previous versions mouse clicks were sometimes ignored.
- Letterbox vs Cropped mode is now always reset to letterbox before each export, as this is the only mode that makes sense for most export formats.
- Avoid a crash at startup, when reading the country code fails.
- Switching processes is no longer allowed during fullscreen playback.
- Lots of improvements to the underlying frameworks.
- A whole lot of other fixes.
