- MyVidEditor is now compiled using 603 / "G3" processor instruction scheduling, which may add a small boost to performance especially on G3 PowerMacs.
- Added in live playback of your movie clips from Project window (the "Static" First, Last and Next frames). If you click on the image under the "First" text, MVE will play the movie for you within that frame. If you've selected a QT3 effect and then click on the "Next" image, the QT3 effect will play for you. If you click in the "Next" frame and there is a "Next" movie, then that movie will play. NOTE: To stop the movie playback, click the mouse anywhere in the Project window (except in one of the First, Last and Next images).
- Added the ability to apply a single QuickTime 3 effect (like film noise or color correction etc.) to an existing movie and then save it as a reference movie (this is under File Menu > Export Sub menu). Do not try applying QT3 effects to a movie that already has QT 3 effects, as the resulting movie will be weird to say the least.
- Added in the ability to create a movie from a pict image in the clipboard (File Menu > Export sub menu > Clipboard to Movie…). So if you need to make say a 1 second still frame clip (say for a freeze frame ending or starting clip), you can do it much easier.
- fixed a problem with Delete Setting…, where it would not delete you marked effects.
- fixed a long standing problem with cross faded audio if you used to 8 bit sound. The sound playback would get exceedingly loud and garbled.
- Fixed a problem with MyVidEditor and compressing movies that reside on "none - writeable" (ie CD's) material and trying to write temporary audio files to that media (you'd get -2039 errors in FailedinFSOpen).
- NOTE: If you select a setting you created previously and MyVidCap can not locate the compressor you used for that setting, you get an "-1" error message of "Could not find compressor <Whatever>", with <Whatever> is the name of the compressor. People who were using Sorenson Video in the QT3 beta WILL get this message, because the beta versions used "Sorenson Video™" and the final version uses "Sorenson Video" (no ™ on the end). You'll just have to re-create those settings ausing the new "Sorenson Video" compressor.
- TIP: If your using ASTARTE M. Pack 1.0.5 to compress a movie that MyVidEditor (or another) has created and when you go to MPEG the movie M.Pack returns a -37 error, there is a fix for this. Open the movie in MyVidCap, select All of the movie (Command A), select Copy (Command C) and from the File Menu, choose New Pasted Movie. Select the New pasted movie window, select the File menu and choose the Save As Reference item and save the movie. Then try MPEGing the reference movie, which usually works and you don't get a -37 error. Why M.Pack will compress some self contained movies and not other movies unless you save it as it as a reference movie is a mystery.
Bug fixes in 2.02
- fixed a problem with the display of the frames during compression with cropping on. The created movie would be cropped properly, but the Compressing window was not displaying the current compressed frame properly (Unsightly / cosmetic in nature).
- fixed a problem with Cross faded sound, where the sound in the second track might be repeated twice.
- fixed a problem when you double clicked on a Project document MVE would not automatically open it (side effect of applescripting).
- Hopefully fixed a problem where if you have zero duration audio tracks in a movie that was being compressed, you could get a "-2039 error" during sound compression and no movie would be created.
- I Changed the Titling text to always use true type fonts for text display. Because there are significant differences in character spacing between bitmap versus truetype, you would notice things like Helvetica at 24 point (bitmap) would actually be wider than helvetica (truetype) at 25 point size. Now all text is drawn using TrueType and scaling of text makes proportional sense (ie 23 is smaller than 24 and 24 is smaller than 25 point with truetype).
- QT3 Effects are no longer "rendered" when creating a "Project Preview Movie". We simply add the QT 3 effect track to the resulting reference movie, which means the preview movie will be created MUCH faster than before. This also means when you play back the movie, mac's with slower processors may not play it back as well.
