FotoMagico specifications

- Layers can now have a mask, which lets you create interesting special effects. Masks can be animated independently from the layer image, movie, or title.
- Layer opacity can now be changed, thus enabling many interesting transparency effects.
- Auto Save is now supported, thus freeing you from having to select the Save command repeatedly while authoring a slideshow. Auto Save may be disabled in the Preferences window.
- Saving is now much quicker than before. Average save times for large slideshows have been reduced from a minute to less than a second in most situations.
- When resizing a title width, the title now stays centered, which is a much nicer behavior.
- When an audio track is muted, then any ducking occuring in this track is ignored.
- If a document window is obscured during fullscreen playback, various animations are now suppressed, to optimize playback performance.
- Color correction is reflected in Storyboard thumbnails.
- The ducking percentage textfield is enabled when needed.
- Sharing for DVD now exports 48 kHz audio instead of 44.1 kHz.
- Audio fades now sound similar in exported movies and live playback.
- Got rid of a visual glitch where all Storyboard thumbnails would briefly disappear after saving a slideshow.
- Got rid of a layout glitch in the Stage when a slideshow is first openend.
- Many edge case situations that led to inconsistent audio fades have been eliminated. These inconsistent states sometimes also caused failures to share a slideshow.
- Sharing assistant now warns you when chosen filenames contain illegal characters that could lead to problems down the road.
- Fixed incorrect rendering of layer opacity, if visibility was restricted to a portion of the slide lifetime.
- Fixed audio volume of a movie layer, that is not visible during whole slide lifetime.
- Audio timing is now much more reliable if a slideshow is started somewhere in the middle.
- Adding, moving, or adjusting very long audio files is now much quicker than before.
