What's New in VideoCharge 3.6
New version of the product includes bug-fix for previous version, support of new formats and a special edging effect for text watermarks as well!
-
Support of Flash Video (.flv) format – now there's an opportunity of reading any video files of this format and coding video files into this format! SWF (.swf) video files decoding/encoding is supported as well.
MPEG Audio Layer-3 and Uncompressed codec types are available for audio stream encoding and Screen Video, Sorenson H263, On2 Truemotion VP6 - for video stream encoding. It is recommended to install DirectShow Filters (it can be found at www.on2.com) for proper working with On2 Truemotion VP6 codec.
Express functinality is also supported for these formats, that is one can work with FLV and SWF files without preceding decompression and repeated compression!
It's common knowledge that FLV and SWF formats do not support indexes, and one can watch .swf or .flv file from beginning to end only. VideoCharge creates indexes for such files which enables working with them in the same way as with any other indexed files.
Splitting and joining scenes (can be done without re-compression as well), creation of thumbnails and other required operations become possible!
-
Ability to create animated GIFs - now one can create animated GIF of any Video file or sequence of Image files. Also it's possible to specify the number of frames, playback speed and other parameters of the produced GIF.
-
Color edging effect for text watermarks - edging makes possible to accentuate the edges of a watermark with a color so as to make watermark pretty visible regardless of video content.
That is, if you imply say white watermark on a movie, the watermark will look tiptop in scenes that have dark hues dominating. However it won't look ditto in scenes with prevalence of light hues. Edging completely resolves the problem:
- no edging
- with edging
Open Edging tab in the Watermark Editor window, set Edging Type = Stroke.
Below specify color (we recommend to use color that is contrary to the watermark's one) to be applied and number of pixels to be affected with edging. That's it!
