Newest Release

We're extremely excited about the newest release of Frame Thrower software. By incorporating feedback from our customers, we've made Frame Thrower more powerful while still keeping it easy to use. This will page will highlight some of the features from the latest Frame Thrower release.

Data Retrieval

Although Frame Thrower focuses on play back of your content for quality control, approval, client presentations, our clients wanted a means of retrieving meta data from Frame Thrower. We've added the ability to view an MPEG proxy of your clips from the web interface and the ability to save all the changes made during a playback session into a play list which can be retrieved as an XML file.

Menus

Several changes have been made to the menus used during playback. Making the background of the menus transparent makes more of the image visible. Menus now automatically open their submenus as the user moves the cursor. That makes it easy to see what functions are available in each menu. Finally, checkmarks have been added to clearly indicate which menu items have been selected.

Gates

The interface for creating gates has been simplified. It's now easy to create the gates you want and add interior markings.

Detail Tool

The detail tool allows the user to select a region of the screen to zoom and provides numerical values for the region.

Play list editing

A major request from our users was the ability to create and modify playlists from the play back interface. The new play list editor provides that functionality.

Comparing Clips

Comparing different versions of a clip is a critical aspect of reviewing content. The new compare functionality allows users to view a pair of clips side by side, as a picture in a picture, with a wipe between the two clips, or with one clip mirrored next to the other.

Slates

Frame Thrower now has handling for slates. They can be the first frame of the clip or be generated automatically from the metadata stored in Frame Thrower.

Overlays/Masks

Users may now create their own overlays and masks that are placed over the images during playback.

And more

That's just the highlights of the release. It also includes:

• Image loading is faster and more flexible.
• OpenEXR, JPEG, and JPEG2000 file formats are now supported.
• The web interface has been simplifiedf and improved.
• Plus many other small improvements too numerous to mention.
