SimpleMovieX 3.9.b2 - Edit QuickTime format videos. (Shareware)

SimpleMovieX 3.9.b2 - Edit QuickTime format videos. (Shareware): "

SimpleMovieX 3.9.b2

SimpleMovieX... Enter the age of Personal Video. Easy and fun. And here are a few examples of why you will use it:


Brend: 'I record TV programs and then I remove all the commercials. It's fast, it's clean.'


Alvaro: 'After the week-end, my mobile phone is full of 3gp shorts, I pass them to my iBook and convert them in one shot. On Monday I share with my friends.'


Adrian: 'I have tons of DVDs with music concerts, and I want to split them into songs, then put them in iTunes.'


Fabrice: 'My digital camera can also record short movies, but the sound is not well syncronized'


Mel: 'I'm compiling all those Stephen Colbert videos that I've found in Google Video into a 90 minutes program.'


Richard: 'Legal depositions are recorded in MPEG format. I use SimpleMovieX to prepare them for court.'


WHAT'S NEW
Flagship Feature:
Built-in Metadata editor, to tag your movies directly inside SimpleMovieX.

Edit, organize in chapters, add movie information, and save natively in ONE operation.


New! Chapter markers at beginning of MP4 and MOV movies are now optional. You can also specify the chapter name in Preferences.New! Movie loading is faster.


Important Bugs fixed:

  • Saving in AVI format doesn't work fine with Perian codec, version 1.1.3 (but works with version 1.0). Fixed.

  • In multi-language movies, saving in AVI doesn't always saves the selected audio track. Fixed.

  • Chapters

  • Cannot move frame by frame, backwards, when on the last frame of a movie. Fixed.

  • Search pane displays only part of the movie, or doesn't refresh correctly. Fixed.

  • When you merge movies containing chapters with others without chapters, the video tracks would remain separated, thus preventing native saving in MP4 or AVI formats. Fixed.

  • Merging by droping several movies into a document creates a chapters at time t=0 even if there is already one present. Fixed.

  • Full screen playback now longer displays lateral strips.

  • Use slash / character inside a file name will cause saving to fail. Now this character is no longer accepted, for your own good...

  • Crash when opening a mov file with multiple references inside a same track. Fixed.

  • DV PAL movies are now resized to 768x576, respecting native vertical resolution.

  • Merging by droping several movies could be halted by warning messages. Fixed.

  • The files that SimpleMovieX opens remained locked until the application quits (preventing deletion from Trash, even if document has been closed). Fixed.

  • Using a file name several times for saving during a SimpleMovieX session would cause confusion. Fixed.

  • Saving of MP4 files over 4GB in size, or containing RTP tracks, would fail due to size check error. Fixed.

  • When Cut actions are used while a chapter name is being edited, it gives unexpected result. Fixed.

  • 'Add to Movie' and 'Add to Selection & Scale' does Paste instead of Add, under certains conditions. Fixed.

  • In Audio Sync pane, the numeric field is only active when you click on it. Sometimes the comma and decimal separator were wrongly interpreted. Fixed.

  • Table with list of movies in batch export window is clipped when saving starts. Fixed.


REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, QuickTime 7 (Pro not required).
