New in BoinxTV 1.8.1 Build 15987 (Jun 15, 2011)

New in BoinxTV 1.8 Build 15970 (Jun 9, 2011)

New advanced filter 'Chroma Key Pro' in addition to the previous one that has been renamed to 'Chroma Key Basic'. The new chroma keyer delivers much higher fidelity but also needs more consistent lighting conditions and a good colored background, preferably green or blue. Continue using 'Chroma Keyer Basic' for the less perfect lighting conditions as it will deliver better results on those cases. When in doubt try both. A new video tutorial on the BoinxTV web site will describe the setup of the new chroma keyer in detail.
Added Quick Mask options to both chroma key filters to quickly remove unwanted regions of the input signal.
Integrated new iMedia Browser version 2 that features many improvements. See the Karelia product page for full details. A real benefit for BoinxTV is it's incremental loading that yields in better performance and lower memory consumption.
iMedia Browser is now also available in BoinxTV Home.
Made several menus more consistent and added entries for chroma keying sources as it was a little hard to find.
Layer shortcuts would not work in version 1.7 unless the layer was selected.
Implemented a workaround for some audio devices like the Tascam US-122mkII that would previously not deliver any audio to BoinxTV.
In previous versions, audio recording would drop after 10 hours of recording.
Recording with 24fps no longer produces audio that is out of sync.
Improved the fidelity of audio with looped movies.
Removed the previously grayed out PAL Widescreen option from BoinxTV Home as it is not available there.
Many more improvements and fixes to the underlying frameworks.
Layers:
Google Maps: This new layer offers similar possibilities as the Google Maps website. You can either enter an address, a location or control the position via an iOS device using LibOrientator.
iOS Device Demo 3D: This layer gives you a 3D rendering of iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (both black). The idea is to feed both the screen content and the device orientation via an iOS device. See the LibOrientator web page for detailed explanation of the setup.
iOS Device Demo (formerly named iPhone Demo): This layer has also been extended to allow optional LibOrientator control and updated with the latest Apple device artwork. You would use this layer when you only need two dimensional movement of the device.
Orientator Demo: Use this layer together with a video feed from iPad 2 and the Orientator app running on it. It will give you an idea of what is possible when combining iPad camera video with device orientation. See the LibOrientator web page for details.
Apple Design Award: This is both to commemorate the Apple Design Award we received for BoinxTV in 2009 and to demo an additional ability of iOS device control. Here the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad can be used to control the 3D rotation of a cube in space.
Twitpic: Integrate photos people posted on Twitter using the Twitpic service. Enter a search term and wait for the results to appear.
Presenter: Added a new input to optionally disable the reflection of the sources.
Presenter: Reflection was off when using a screen source.
Tuned the input value ranges of many layers.
The Video Switcher layer would no longer show the active image after saving and reopening a document.
News Show: The remaining time was displayed incorrectly.

New in BoinxTV 1.7 Build 7014 (Jan 27, 2011)

New in BoinxTV 1.6.2 Build 6735 (Aug 20, 2010)

New in BoinxTV 1.6.1 Build 6703 (Aug 11, 2010)

New in BoinxTV 1.6 Build 6671 (Aug 4, 2010)

Added template "Conference Recording" that demonstrates how to use BoinxTV for recording typical conference sessions using two cameras and a source for slides.
Layers:
New layer "Session Intro" that can be used as opening credits when recording conference sessions or similar events.
Added layer "Placer with Distortion" that allows you to place a source in an area defined by 4 arbitrary screen points. This is very useful, e.g., for placing movies inside an area of a background image.
Removed the option to display the user timeline in the Twitter layer as this no longer possible using the current technology. Twitter has changed their APIs.
The Twitter layer should no longer stop updating!
The Crawl layer now always starts from the beginning when switching it on.
Added iPhone 4 artwork as option in the iPhone Demo layer.
Rare crashes in text crawler and Twitter layer.
The Axis camera layer now works on Mac OS X v10.5.8
Images coming out of the chroma key filter should no longer be blurry.
Recordings made with BoinxTV are now being stored in a visible document ending with the suffix "tvrecording". In case of a crash during the recording these files remain on disk and can be double clicked to restore them. BoinxTV will try to read the file and show you the recorded movie. Click "Recover Recording" to have BoinxTV store the result in a QuickTime Movie file with the same name in the same location. After that you may close the window and delete the "tvrecording" file from disk.
The preference pane "Sharing" has been renamed to "Export" and contains a new option to NOT automatically show the export window after recording a movie. You can always export/share later by choosing File > Export Recording…
Added entries to access recently recorded movies to the action menu in the export/share window. This is especially useful in combination with the above mentioned feature.
In order to help you discover memory problems with very large documents earlier on we added a warning to the top display. You won't notice a change until there is less than 1.5GB of free application memory for the application. The color of the display changes from green to yellow (1GB of free memory) and finally to red (750MB). Once it turns yellow you should no longer add layers or sources to your document. Once it turns red you should try to finish your work, save your document and quit BoinxTV before it hits the memory limit and crashes.
Prevent creating or opening of additional documents when memory gets too full.
Looping movies play looping audio.
Rare crash with source placeholder animation.
Undo could go really bonkers in certain cases.
Potential freeze when opening damaged documents.
Corrected an issue with opening and closing multiple documents.
Setting an input image to "None" was not restored correctly when opening a saved document.
Prevented a crash that sometimes could occur when resetting the categories in the layer/sources library or clearing the search field.
If the movie recording destination set in the preferences is no longer available BoinxTV will now record to the default location (Movies folder) instead of silently failing. When opening a document with a recording destination set that no longer exists you will be alerted to that fact.
Stopping preview movie while layer is live.
Movie frame buffer increase when used by covered layer.
Minimized memory usage of movie sources.
Improved performance and stability of layers using shaders (e.g. Crawl, Presenter, Single Video, Twitter and Sidebar)
Freeze when copy and pasting and collapsing entries in the parameter view.
Video-Memory leak with random occurrences when adding moving or deleting layers.
Video-Memory leak when hiding image previews in layer parameter editor
Tries to improve synchronisation with Blackmagic Decklink hardware, thereby causing better framerates in SD resolution.
Reducing memory footprint while loading documents.
Improved overall stability.
Minor bug fixes
A few more tweaks here and there.
Preview of movies shows the same position as output if the movie is live

New in BoinxTV 1.5 Build 5965 (Jan 5, 2010)

New in BoinxTV 1.5 Beta 3 Build 5919 (Dec 10, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.5 Beta 2 Build 5902 (Dec 10, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.5.1 Beta 1 Build 5848 (Nov 26, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.4.2 Build 5659 (Oct 16, 2009)

Major enhancements have been made to the whole audio engine of BoinxTV:
In case an input device fails temporarily (or changes its format) we now restart it again immediately. This will result in a very short audio gap and probably a noticable click, but at least audio will continue to work afterwards.
Measures have been taken to better cope with situations where the audio engine is overloaded for a short amount of time.
It should no longer happen that recordings produce "choppy" audio after a while. Silence will now be inserted when audio is overloaded for too long.
Better fidelity with sound of DV cameras.
Improved internal error handling in all areas.
The engine works best if the input and output sound formats are the same. Use "Audio MIDI Setup" found in Applications > Utilities to unify the format of all devices you use. Most important is the sampling frequency.
Depending on availability use "44100,0 Hz" or "48000,0 Hz". When working with DV cameras: those typically can be switched between 48 kHz and 32 kHz from the camera's menu. Use 48 kHz (48000,0 Hz) if possible and then adjust all other devices to this setting.
Input devices (cameras and microphones) can now also be renamed while documents are open. More improvements in that area soon…
Added an option to the Presenter layer to fade out the background when displaying Source B in fullscreen mode with the option "Show whole image" selected. (Users who understand this explanation might actually appreciate the new option.)
Some cameras deliver their very first frame in a wrong aspect ratio and size. Throwing away that first frame improves document startup time and fidelity.
The submenu containing the audio throughput device is now kept visible while recording so that you can check which output is being used.
Displaying an alert when you are disconnecting the selected playthrough device while recording as this will most likely ruin audio in your recorded video from that moment on.
The state of the caps lock key is now ignored for keyboard shortcuts assigned to layers, triggers and inputs.
In rare cases the rendering would not unpause aufter resizing the document.
Audio volume of -∞ in layers is now correctly restored when loading a document.
Newly added sources will no longer be assigned to a selected Audio Only layer.
Basketball Scores layer now works correctly on Snow Leopard.
The titlebar and floating state of the preview windows is now saved into and restored from documents.
Small fix to renaming recordings in the export dialog.
Small user interface related improvements.
Audio levels should now always return to 0 after sound has ended playing.
Sublte icon improvements on certain dates.
A few other small fixes.

New in BoinxTV 1.4.2 Beta 2 Build 5610 (Oct 9, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.4.1 (Sep 25, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.4 (Sep 19, 2009)

The whole recording engine has been rewritten for better extensibility. As an immediate benefit, video and audio of movies no longer has to be combined after recording. Depending on the length of your recording this may save you lots of waiting time.
There is now an action menu next to recorded movie in the export dialog offering common options like opening and showing the movie, renaming it immediately or moving it to the Trash. This can be helpful to rename good takes or delete mistakes. The whole export dialog can also be reset from there in case you want to run a second export in a row.
Start date and time will now be added to the file name of recordings to make them easier to differentiate when recording multiple takes.
Templates are now visually grouped into those provided by BoinxTV, by the current user and by the central location for the computer.
Layers:
Quick Look layer. This layer enables you to bring any single page document type that can be previewed via Quick Look into BoinxTV and position it in 3D space. For multi-page documents you will only be able to see the first page.
AXIS network camera layer. This layer is similar to a Placer, but accesses an AXIS network camera to display camera frames.
iPhone layer. Use this layer to play your iPhone screen movies in a realistic environment. If you happen to have a specifically prepared iPhone you can also use a real phone as input device.
Sports Standings layer. Displays typical sports results in tabular form. Data is read from a XML file.
The RSS crawler now updates its feed without having to be deactivated and reactivated.
Added an option to the Stop Watch layer to reset the clock when you turn the layer on.
In version 1.3 custom background images on the Lower Thirds layer were potentially squashed on one axis, they are now scaled proportionally again.
The Placer with Transition layer now behaves as it was intended to, and no longer ignores its parameter settings.
The Presenter layer would sometimes not disable itself correctly.
Several minor layer improvements not mentioned above.
You can now set the default recording format (Codec) in the General Preferences, as the previous method was too hidden.
There is a new option to keep the preview windows (both layer and output preview) on top. Acess it from the View menu or the gear menu in the preview windows.
Added a new export AppleScript that calls Levelator to optimize audio volume on the recorded movie. Get Levelator from The Conversations Network.
The LIVE state of the selected setting in the left column is now indicated through a red color in the header.
Added tooltips (aka. help tags) to several UI elements.
Added X Position parameter to Zodiac Signs layer.
If there are no documents open, you can now edit the names of devices in the preferences.
Decreased document loading time. Delayed loading of Quick Look previews and other images for snappier operation.
The document loading progress bar now shows how far you are through the loading process.
The output preview no longer displays the "Engine Paused" message when being paused, only the pause button is highlighted and the layer preview shows a message.
If you are running on Leopard, BoinxTV now requires Mac OS X 10.5.7, which brings some critical fixes.
Updated the built-in iMedia browser for iTunes 9 support.
If saving the recorded movie fails you now get a reasonable error message.
Some code optimizations for G5 processors. Please report if you are actually using BoinxTV on a G5. Coincidentally, BoinxTV should no longer start at all on PPC G4.
BoinxTV is now more robust in cases where you do not have write access to the designated folder for saving recordings, or it didn't exist any more.
You are now prevented from toggling the “Record to Disk” option in the middle of a recording. Doing this was a Bad Idea!
When you are recording a fixed–length show to a disk without enough free space for the whole show, the document now keeps track of how far into the show you had recorded when the disk became full.
Resolved various Snow Leopard issues.
Lots of bug fixes in the export dialog.
Heaps of other fixes and small visual improvements.

New in BoinxTV 1.4 Beta 3 (Sep 17, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.3 (May 4, 2009)

Resize Documents. The size of open documents can now be adjusted to different pixel sizes. This is especially useful if you picked a template and forgot to set your desired size. Please note that not all layers may scale perfectly when changing sie and aspect ratio of a document.
Improved device A/V sync. A delay can now be configured for each audio device to make up for the video delay of various cameras. See Devices preferences. This is esepcially important for most DV cameras but also useful for the Built-in iSight of new MacBook Pro computers. Use a movie clapper or just clap your hands in front of the camera to adjust the delay.
Automatically create device sources. Added a preference to automatically create sources for all available devices (video and sound inputs) when a new document is created.
Filters:
Veescope Softlyght keyer. Alternative chroma keying filter based on Veescope Softlyght technology. The keying component needs to be purchased separately as add-on. See the BoinxTV web site for more information.
Image adjustments filter to do some basic color and gamma corrrection.
Better consistency of the drop shadow in the Chroma Key filter.
Layers:
Lower Thirds: New additional parameters to adjust font kerning of title and subtitle.
Lower Thirds: Layer now displays a countdown when in automatic mode.
Digital Clock: Can now have negative inset values to accommodate scaled and otherwise strange background images.
News Crawl: In RSS mode this layer will now look for feed updates every 2 minutes.
Regression in Placer: Once again removing X and Y position inputs unless in "Custom" mode.
Video Switcher. Now behaves correctly if size and aspect ratio of content and background image differ.
Digital Clock: Fixed time format bug in 12 hours mode.
Placer: Fixed a small bug regarding transparency.
Placer with Transition: Transparency is now supported. Please test and give us feedback.
Presenter: Switching to "A" in Fullscreen mode was broken.
Presenter: Improved performance.
Static Text 3D would in some parameter combinations draw text with a wrong vertical alignment.
The Twitter layer works again.
World News. The earth no longer jumps around when adjusting the rotate duration.
BoinxTV no longer shows an alert when entering a wrong value into a text field but instead automatically caps the value to the nearest maximum or minimum. This should also fix a few rare crashes.
When clicking the green zoom widget the preview will now be scaled to exactly 100%.
Once more removed some checks after recording as they continue to crash on some configurations. We love QuickTime and all those vintage Codecs.
Fixed a bug that resulted in rare crashes of the chroma keyer with Safari 3 installed.
Fixed issues when exporting two movies at the same time.
Changing the framerate and recording format now marks the document unsaved, both changes are being written to disk and read in from documents.
Fixed a few other issues that could cause crashes on export for some users.
BoinxTV works on the current pre-release version of Snow Leopard.
Major changes to iMedia Browser by the project team.
The usual bunch of other small improvments and bug fixes.

New in BoinxTV 1.2.1 (Apr 2, 2009)

New in BoinxTV 1.2 (Apr 2, 2009)

Brings lots of new features like a Screen Source to capture content of other applications like Skype, a brand new tempalte, new layers as well as performance and stability improvements.
Screen Source: Using that new source type you can grab arbitrary screen regions of your computer and use them as sources in any layer. This enables you to capture skype or iChat video conversations or screencasts, presentations, PDF files, ...
Chroma Keying Improvements:
Auto Setup: There is a new "Auto" button in the filtered source setup window that tries to set a good starting point for filters. This currently only works for chroma keying and sets initial values based on your scenario and lighting.
Image Masks: You can define two image masks in the chroma key setup. One of regions that always need to be keyed out, one for regions that should never be keyed. This is useful for removing or retaining non-moving objects in your scene.
A few improvements to the actual filter.
Hotkey shortcuts for settings: In addition to layers, specific settings can now also have a keyboard shortcut. That way you can directly trigger specific settings, e.g., lower thrids. Note that you may use the same shortcut to trigger mutiple settings in different layers to synchronize multiple elements.
Quick Look for sources. Now you can preview images, movies, sound clips and compositions directly in BoinxTV.
User Interface Improvements:
Jog Wheels for numeric parameters. A new kind of control makes setting up numeric values a lot easier. There are a lot of ways to interact with those controls:
Drag the wheel to the left or right to decrease or increase the valule.
Option-Drag to change the value at ten times the speed.
Shift-Drag to change the value at a tenth of the speed for fine adjustment.
Click the wheel at the left or right edge to decrease or increase the value in one unit steps.
Option-Click the wheel at the left or right edge to change the value in ten unit steps.
Shift-Click the wheel at the left or right edge to change the value in tenth unit steps.
Of course you can still use the text field next to the jog wheel to manually enter values.
Lots of changes to enable keyboard navigation in the layers and source repositories.
Keyboard shortcut Command-Option-F to focus on the search field in the repositories. The shortcut opens the layers repository in case no repository is visible.
Added a "Duplicate" entry to the layer context menu.
Added a keyboard shortcut to the delete layer setting menu entry.
The recording format (codec) can now be changed for each document. BoinxTV no longer enforces Apple Intermediate Codec as requirement, we do however still recommend using Apple Intermediate for best results and performance.
New template "BTVNEWS", designed by Tim Sternsdorff. This is a widescreen template for a professional looking news anchor show that showcases many of the new layer capabilities introduced in version 1.2, see below. Use it with a greenscreen and a chroma-keyed (Filter Source...) camera for best results. Due to it's many animated layers this template may not perform well on slow machines.
Layers:
New sorting and naming of layers. Some of the existing layers have new names in order to easier identify them and the sorting has also been changed to put the most commonly used ones to the top of the list.
New layer "Twitter". Display various Twitter feeds directly in your show. Options are the public timeline, search for terms or your personal feed. Lots of options to adjust the look to your needs
New layer "News Flash". This layer is meant as a replacement for the old "Breaking News" that is still included for compatibilty reasons. "News Flash" offers more and better customization.
New layer "Digital Clock" similar to Analog Clock. Lots of customization options.
"Lower Thirds" can now have an animated background. This can be done via two images, a static background image and a second animation image that can be moved and rotated above the background. See the new template "BTVNews" for an example.
Major enhancements to "News Crawl":
Same background animation capability as "Lower Thirds".
Optional dissolve and push transition for smoother switching on and off.
"Static Text" can now has various background options: static color, gradient or image, all with optional drop shadow. As a consequence there are also new parameters to control the inset from that background image. See the new template "BTVNews" for an example.
"Sidebar" can now have both an overlay image and a mask image. See template "BTVNews" for an example.
"Placer" (former Single Video) now features an optional dissolve transition.
Improvements to "Presenter":
Added automatic switch via motion detection.
Deal with different aspect ratios for image inputs.
Can be switched to display the small image on the left or right.
New layer "Computer Circuits" showing rotating circuit boards.
New layer "Waving Flag" currently featuring G8 countries.
New layer "World Time" that shows the world map with the pattern of night and day.
You can now set a starting time on the "Stop Watch" layer.
It is now possible to have light shadows in the "Sparkling Text" layer.
Other minor fixes to several layers.
Frame Rate Handling:
The default movie recording frame rate is now set to 30 FPS if your locale is a country where NTSC is the default TV standard, 25FPS otherwise. Frame rate of a document can be changed any time from the "Show" menu.
Documents and document templates can have a frame rate that will be used by default when creating a new document. This can be overriden using the "Custom" format entry.
Rendering output frames now always happens at the recording frame rate. If your document is set to e.g. 15 frames per second (FPS), the output will no longer look smooth for that reason.
Rendering performance when not recording is now a lot more accurate, so that hitting record button makes almost no difference. As a consequence, if your show is geared only for fullscreen output or live broadcast, switch of "Record to Disk" in the Show menu, as this will drastically improve rendering performance. In that case you probably also want a higher frame rate.
The part of BoinxTV dealing with devices, cameras and sound inputs, has been completely rewritten for better performance.
Added a "Pause" button to the output. Toggling this button will pause all rendering and therefor use a lot less resources. Pausing is not available while recording.
Added an export script that opens the recording with the Turbo.264 HD application by Elgato. If you have a new Turbo.264 HD stick you can trim the recording in Turbo.264 and quickly convert it to various H.264 formats.
Devices can now be disabled in the Devices preferences. This is useful for hardware that provides lots of devices, where you usually only need one of them. Enabling/disabling is only available when no document is open.
Better checking if the movie to be exported actually will fit the destination.
Exporting in consecutive steps was broken in version 1.1.
The process of saving the movie at the end of a recording can now be canceled. Use this carefully as it destroys your recording and cannot be undone.
Many small user interface improvements.
Lots of other bugfixes and memory usage improvements.

New in BoinxTV 1.1 (Dec 8, 2008)

Layers & Templates:
New template "MyShop". This template shows off the new layers and layer capabilities added since version 1.0.
New layer "Sidebar Ad". Use it to slide/wipe/fade in advertisement (movie, image) from an edge of the screen.
New layer "Sparkling Text". Displays text with a nice sparkle effect.
The layer "Static Text" now features transitions and received a few more small improvements like selectable shadow color.
In the layer "Sidebar" you can now control whether the "layers below" should be moved to the side to make room for the sidebar. It also features a better default image and a few more relevant options.
The "Painter" layer can now be controlled with a pen tablet. In that case pressure defines the pen size. Also added a new opacity slider.
The layer "Lower Thids" got many small fixes. Leading and trailing whitespace now gets removed, duration inputs show the correct unit, and more.
Custom layers (Quartz Compositions conforming to our layer protocol with extension .tvlayer) can now be imported autmatically by double-clicking the .tvlayer file in Finder.
The template "Single Video" has been renamed to "Blank" to better communicate its intention.
Some layers like "Lower Thirds" would not activate correctly after being forced to deactivate by double-clicking the LIVE button.
"Basketball Scores" would ignore transparency in background images.
Added a "Open Device Preferences" entry to the source action and contextual menus.
Lots of improvements to the summary for sources and devices, both in the source repository and next to the image inputs.
Now providing more information in case a source (movie, image, composition) is missing.
The video source popup menu in the parameters area was not sorted correctly and displaying the wrong entry for filtered sources.
Pixel Aspect Ratio for video devices can now be set manually from the action popup menu in the source repository inspector. Correction usually happens automatically, but we learned that some devices do not report their aspect ratio (correctly).
When turning on/off multiple layers using the same shortcut, now all layers will be switched at the same time.
Opening files from a remote computer would break all source files.
Document templates can now be deleted from the New Document window via contextual menu.
Connecting a previously missing camera would cause flickering of that source.
A warning informs you when there is no more free disk space for recording.
The record button was sometimes disabled when opening BoinxTV by opening a BoinxTV document.
Improved matching of connected devices on loading of a document.
The window title of the live preview window now always shows the correct recording state.
The Audio, Movies and Animations category filter buttons in the Source Library now work correctly.
The divider images of the crawl layer were sometimes drawn in wrong colors.
Resolving a missing source now actiually removes the warning triangle in the status bar.
Fixed a crash when disconnecting a DV camera while it's audio stream was being used by BoinxTV.
