Stable version page
Events
For this new version, major improvments are:
- Geolocation projects
- It is now possible to geotag projects globally or by chapter
- Google Maps maps can be added in the titles and in the slides
- New dynamic variables are added on geolocation
- Improved music track
- From now, the options for pause and volume are available from the first slide on which are positioned music tracks
- Drag & drop is improved to allow movement "using mouse" of music tracks from one slide to another
- Improved rendering
- Adding "variable bitrate" mode for encoding which reduces quite dramatically the size of videos produced for projects containing mostly pictures
- Adding a hundred new models of equipment (phones and tablets)
- Improved quality of transitions
- Nearly half of the LUMA transitions have been redone (a quarter of the total transitions) to reduce noise (inelegant pixels) on projects in HD
and above all, numerous bug fixes.
One thank you in all those who collaborated to this new version.
This new version is now available on the download page.
Publication of this version 2.0.1 to fix several interface issues.
The installation packages are now available on the download page.
For this new version, major improvments are:
- Accelerated rendering of video (reduced the time needed to compile videos by up to 25%)
- Can compile with Qt 4 and Qt 5 (depending on what is available in the system)
- 64-bit Windows version and support for Windows 8 and 8.1
- Adding dynamic text variables (calculated texts can be used in the slides)
- Generate thumbnails at 600×800 corresponding to rendered videos (very useful for differentiating videos when using Jukebox and MediaCenter application)
- Generate .nfo file for XBMC (very useful for those who use XBMC because it allows the videos to have a poster and a sheet into XBMC)
- Adding models (predefined elements used as the basis for creating thumbnails or slides)
- Adding an export project function (saves the project and all the files used by the project in a subdirectory)
- Support of ffmpeg 2.0 and 2.1
- Integrating Wiki directly into the application for offline reading
- Cliparts managment
- Alias in the multimedia file browser (A clipart entry is displayed in the directory tree)
- Portability clipart from one PC to another and an Operating System with another (Cliparts from the clipart directory are treated as library items and do not need to be copied into the project resources )
- Supports project containing several thousand slides (instead of several hundred in previous versions)
and above all, numerous bug fixes.
One thank you in all those who collaborated to this new version.
