digitalFAQ.com Forums [Archives] - MovieStacker 2.00 BETA3 released

MovieStacker 2.00 BETA is out :!:

I was holding back the release of the new MovieStacker because I wanted to add the visual crop/preview/compare features. These features are the main reason to the 2.0 jump. But many users are asking for the new version NOW! Just because of the new filters. So I decided to release a BETA version without the new crop/preview/compare features but with all the new supported filters.

Enough talk... here is the "relelease_notes.txt" file:

Code:

  filter directory and the preset directory.

  used in this program.

I hope you all enjoy the new layout.
I needed to change it because of the space required by the new filters addition.

Please, help me make MovieStacker a better program by reporting any bug you find.
Thanks!
