Changes
- Added an option to enable alternative frame stepping for problematic videos.
- Better error handling for video formats that it cannot process.
Changes
- Improved compression performance by at least 10%.
Fixes
- Fixed some issues regarding the stomp server crashing. There are TWO new options in the Stomp Preferences pane that you need to enable to try this support. They are Each process compresses only one movie, then terminates and Automatically retry failed compression tasks.
Changes
- Rebuilt with new Mavericks toolchain. Let us know if you discover any problems.
- Experimental speed-sauce. Compression up to on average 5x faster, more in some situations.
- Mavericks Support.
Fixes
- Fixed the problem whereby Stomp would sometimes abort with an "Opps" message. Now starts faster as well.
Changes
- Added presets for 3rd Gen Apple TV.
- Added 'duration' as a field to the log viewer.
- Reworked the client/server communication - removing the possibility of client/server communication deadlock bug.
- Now built as an Intel only binary, with a minimum requirement of 10.6.6.
- Videos are now added to the lower list asynchronously, making for a more 'snappy' UI experience.
Fixes
- Fixed issue whereby model file couldn't be loaded (which prevented Stomp from loading).
- As a result of better comms, Stomp now correctly supports "main thread only" compressors. This fixes a long standing bug whereby some compressors would fail with a "-2098" error and not work at all.
- Fixed problem where queuing multiple jobs would often queue only one. "Batch" now works.
Fixes
- Support for Gatekeeper under Max OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
- Tidied up some error handling that could have caused a UI crash.
Fixes
- Fixed issue where recent build was complaining under 10.5.8 of not being able to link against libcrypto. End result was a crash. Now solved.
Fixes
- Fixed issue with i386 only build. Fixed and is back to a Universal (PPC as well) build now.
Fixes
- Fixed issue with continuous updating.
Changes
- Stomp now supports beta updates as well (now all products are consistent).
- Changed version numbering scheme to be consistent with other products.
- Verified under Lion.
Fixes
- Fixed a problem whereby 29.97fps videos were not being encoded at the right rate.
- Fixed issue that could cause a crash when removing all videos.
Changes
- Updated to have minimum requirement of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
- Additional stability improvements.
- We have reworked the underlying frameworks that make up the base of our products, due to these new frameworks / reorganizations - all localizations have been temporarily removed. We will be working with our localizers to being complete localizations in future releases. We didn't want to have half-baked localizations, and so decided it'd be better to remove them temporarily. Watch this space!
Changes
- Last 10.4 compatible release. Later releases will be for 10.5+ only (read more)
Changes
- Added Spanish localization. A big thank you to Cristobal Fuentes!
Fixes
- Upgrades to registration system
Fixes
- Fixed issue whereby effect stacks would be needlessly applied, thus slowing the compression considerably. Now muck quicker for codecs such as iPhone, when effects (scaling, cropping, filters) are not being used.
Changes
- Fix error where Stomp wouldn't correctly read the videoFrameSize, and thus would fail to compress some movie types under 10.6.
- Fixed a situation where QT could crash during compression.
- Added the ability to speed up a movie (useful for timelapse).
- Minor internal change to fix some QT encoding issues.
Fixes
- Fixed modification of aspect ratio where the source is a Quartz Composition movie.
- Fixed bug in the SSL initialization that could cause a crash at startup.
- Updated Japanese translation.
Changes
- Time to compress has changed to time remaining (instead of time of completion). Improved it's accuracy at the same time.
- Removed the small fonts in the menu.
- Increased the maximum number of processes to 12.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug causing crashing during conversion.
Changes
- Fixed up the filter. It now performs blurs better, and also allows for compositing of a background color on video (important for scale and perspective filters, which can leave a "background" space).
- Addition of "background color" for videos. This new option resides in Preferences, under General and lets you specify the background color for video. It's used when a filter such as Perspective Transform is applied, exposing the area behind the video.
- Various other fixes to filters as well, to make them better when chained together.
- Basic support compressing movies via AppleScript.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug with the About box that would sometimes cause a crash.
- Fixed some more memory leaks.
Changes
- Updated Sparkle (software update framework).
- Initial support for Elgato Turbo H264 HD.
- Updated Japanese translation.
- Now built under Snow Leopard.
Fixes
- We're aware of a problem converting for iPhone/Touch devices (Snow Leopard only) where the movie comes out black. We've working on it!. In the meantime, there are some fixes below.
- Fixed a bug whereby specialist codecs (non-QuickTime only codes, such as 3vix, DivX etc) wouldn't always work.
- Fixed a number of memory leaks.
- Fixed problem setting movie width when in absolute mode.
- Fixed issue with About box crashing.
Changes
- New Simplified Chinese translation!
- Updated Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian and French localization (thanks to Michael Krekin, Roland Leroux, Koichi Matsumoto and He Yunxuan).
Fixes
- Fixed bug where video wouldn't show if machine had multiple display adapters and multiple screens.
- Fixed Soundflower install for Snow Leopard.
Changes
- Fixed the "Save As..." scrubber option. It now works all the time.
- Renamed the "Save As..." right-clickable menu items (on the scrubbed) to better reflect what they do.
- Telestream WMV: We're aware of some issues with usage of this component within Stomp and are working to resolve them. This work is not yet complete.
- Fixed issue whereby crop areas were not saved per preset.
- Updated references to help and documentation.
- Updated support request (ticketing) app.
- Better support feedback for problematic crash situations.
- Added German localization.
Changes
- Fixed issue with crop overlay not resizing with the window.
- Previous 1.13 fixes (if you didn't get 1.12 / 1.13)
- Making reporting better - when submitting a crash report, the sender is now the registered user.
- The crop overlay no longer obscures the Save As... dialog box when choosing filenames.
Changes
- Making reporting better - when submitting a crash report, the sender is now the registered user.
- The crop overlay no longer obscures the Save As... dialog box when choosing filenames.
Changes
- The crop overlay no longer obscures the Save As... dialog box when choosing filenames.
Changes
- Fixed bug with choosing filename. No longer hangs.
Changes
- Fixed some spelling errors.
- Now in French (many thanks to Ronald Leroux for his hard work)!
Changes
- Update the activation mechanism.
- Fixed a bug that could cause Stomp to crash when starting.
Changes
- Fixed the spelling of "Preferences" items.
Changes
- Fixed a serious bug that caused large memory leaks.
- Fixed a bug with drag and drop of files onto Stomp.
Changes
- The color in the movie preview window has been corrected. Stomp now uses the current color profile of the machine. Videos in the preview now look the same in Stomp as in QuickTime.
Noteworthy changes
- Support for any QuickTime movie exporter. This means access to the QuickTime MPEG-4 and AVI exporters. You can compress to WMV (using Flip4Mac), if you have it installed.
- Added support for the Elgato Turbo 264 device (the USB dongle). If you have one of these magic black USB things then you now have access to alternative high speed iPhone, PSP, iPod and AppleTV encoding within Stomp.
- Speed improvements to the encoding process. For instance, compressing Apple Intermediate to H264 is 40% faster (if you don't use filters). Note: Any operation that uses filters won't see this speed improvement.
- Added trim to selection and Save functionality (Save As... will flatten in the process).
- Right click on the movie scrubber to save the movie, or the current selection. There are options to also add the saved movie to the list of movies to process.
- Support for the DivX compressor - if you have it installed.
Changes
- You can now drag files onto the Stomp icon (in the dock) to add files to the recording list.
- As a side effect of the new movie exporters Stomp now supports Image Sequence generation. Click the gear button to add an Image Sequence preset. You can now convert a movie to a series of images (use the Settings dialog to configure the type).
- Stomp now uses the correct file extension when creating movies. Thus if you have Flip4MAc installed and you convert to WMV, the extension will be .wmv. If you convert to AppleTV, the extension will be .m4v - and so on.
- The option "Use video fps of source movie" is now disabled if this setting cannot be applied during compression. This is the case if you're using any "black box" compressor such as the AppleTV/iPhone/iPod compressor from Apple. In cases such as this, the compressor itself controls the final frame rate and it cannot be modified by the user.
- Updated the YouTube preset, now 640x480 (you must reset your presets for this to take effect - see the Edit menu to do this).
- Added a Blip.TV setting which defaults to 720x480.
- Drag the in/out points around. Press and hold the command key, then drag the in/out selection left and right.
- The registration system has been updated - you can now have it get your registration details from the internet (pretty much the same as you visiting the SWB website and logging in, just much easier) rather than having to copy/paste them into the right fields.
- You can now choose to leave both the audio and video untouched. This is useful for cutting sections out using the in/out points while not actually doing anything else to the clip (not reprocessing it in any way).
- When you click on the movie, the bottom video recordings list is selected (which makes left, right, frame nudge keys work as expected)
- Added five new presets all based on the Elgato Turbo 264 product. These are selectable from the gear menu in Presets (to the right of the + and - buttons).
- The process button is now no longer usable if you've got a Folder rather than a Preset selected. If is enabled if you have more than one item selected and at least one is usable.
- Stomp now saves the current position of the playhead per video recording.
- Various performance enhancements to the movie scrubber (the control at the bottom that lets you scrub left/right in the movie).
- A preview is now shown in the compression settings dialog.
- Shows a "drag files here" area if no movie is available.
- Fixed the button drawing (they looked a bit weird when pushed in).
- Fixed the plus/minus button at the bottom (for video recordings), they are now clearer.
- Fixed a few issues with the presets table view related to selection.
- Fixed a bug whereby selection on the videos were always saved against the video when the scrubber was moved, even if they hadn't been modified. This made the Undo stack grow unnecessarily.
- Numerous bug fixes.
Changes
- Stomp now has a nice and shiny new icon!
Changes
- Auto updating mechanisms updated.
Fixes
- Fixed the registration "ask for help" feature.
- Fixed an issue whereby presets would sometimes not be created correctly.
Noteworthy changes
- Added additional options to the scale menu, for common scale ratios (1.85:1 and 2:35:1).
- Added the ability to modify the aspect ratio of footage.
- Added composition filters as options (can be used to perform crude watermarking of video).
Changes
- The compressor now correctly processes DV video (it used to only get 1/2 sized footage, making the resulting movies small and breaking cropping if it were used).
- Fixed a potential crash.
- Fixed bug whereby the preview window would sometimes show "no video" all the time.
- Fixed bug where the filters would show incorrectly under Leopard, until you clicked on a preset. Now it works as expected.
- Resolved issue with incorrect cropping on Tiger.
Changes
- Fixing multi pass mode for H264 encoding (sometimes it'd miss the first frame and everything would be black)
- Fixed in/out point processing (didn't take if the 'in' point was at the beginning of the movie).
- Fixed a bug that could cause the UI to crash when manipulating the crop overlay.
- Fixed a bug that could cause Stomp to crash on startup.
- Put in new ticketing (support) app - see the Help menu.
Changes
- Fixed the bug whereby the table column sizing in recordings wasn't being remembered when running in Leopard.
- Reduced size of DMG.
- A new temporary icon, while the real one is drawn.
- Some minor bug fixes.
