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:

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!
