Personal AVI Editor v1.21
Shareware/Free update
IF YOU HAVE THE COMMERCIAL VERSION OR HAVE A REGISTRATED VERSION:
Run the program INSTALL.EXE and you Personal AVI Editor is
automatically updated to version 1.21. If you are using the shareware
version, this is updated, too - but the trial period is NOT extended!
This file lists the changes to Personal AVI editor since version 1.0
v1.01 FIXED AN ERROR
Corrected effects for multiple still images.
Cause: Still optimization outputs multiple still images to one
temporary file.
Fix: Effect handler now restarts with every still image - as
if the images where stored in separate temporary files.
The workaround for v1.0 is to place a pause or a 1 frame video
clip immediately before the effect is applied.
v1.02 FIXED A PROBLEM
Dialogs now centers with respect to the main window.
Cause: Dialogs where centered with respect to the screen.
Fix: See above.
The workaround for v1.0 is to run Personal AVI Editor maximized.
v1.03 FIXED AN ERROR
It is now posible to choose a capture file in "Capture options".
Cause: The code shared between open and save dialogs didn't handle
the "Filename" button correctly.
Fix: Code modified to handle the "Filename" button correctly.
The workaround for v1.0 is to enter the name of the capture file
directly in the PAE.INI file.
v1.04 FIXED AN ERROR
Multiple plug-in libraries now loads correctly.
Cause: If a new plug-in library was installed in a manner that
placed the file before the STANDARD.FPI library, the
new library would cause a GP Error when used.
Fix: Personal AVI Editor no longer expects STANDARD.FPI to be
loaded first.
The workaround for v1.0 where to rearrange the files in the
PAEDITOR\BIN directory to ensure STANDARD.FPI where located
before any additional plug-in libraries.
v1.05 FIXED AN ERROR
The undo function now works correctly after CUT and DELETE.
Cause: The code optimizations for the final v1.0 prevented the
ability to correctly track removed clips. The beta-version
didn't have this problem, as optimizations wasn't enabled!
Fix: The code has been altered so it work correctly regardless
of optimizations is enabled or not.
The workaround for v1.0 is to manually move the clip after an UNDO.
v1.1 NEW FEATURE ADDED
Personal AVI Editor now features a toolbar with access to Help,
Open, Save, Import, most editing functions, Preview, Make movie,
and all the configuration dialog-boxes.
v1.11 FIXED AN ERROR
It is now posible (not useable) to drag a video or an audio clip
past to the left edge of the construction window - without the
program fails.
Cause: When dragging outside the left edge of the window the the
horizontal position should become negative - but it wrapped
to a large number positive.
Fix: Assignment corrected by typecasting the unsigned integer to
a signed integer.
There is no workaround for v1.0 and 1.1 except to avoid dragging
the clip outside the left edge of the construction window.
v1.12 FIXED AN ERROR
The "Select file" function in the Edit menu no longer fails when
the video track or audio track includes a pause.
Cause: The Select Files function tries to extract the name of the
file when generating the file list - a pause doesn't have a filename.
Fix: When collecting the file lists "Select files" now checks
for a pause before extracting a name.
A workaround for v1.0 and 1.1 is to make a file consisting of a (eg.)
10 sec. pause in both the audio and video track followed by one
single picture and a short Wav-file, then make this into a movie,
import this movie to a new project, trim to exclude the single
picture and short sound and make a movie from this project. The
resulting file can now be used as an pause (with a filename)
that doesn't crash the "Select file" list.
v1.13 FIXED SOME PROBLEMS
An AVI file could crash the program when imported to the project.
Cause: AVI files with one single frame crashed Personal AVI editor
due to a rounding error in the rate convertion.
Fix: Rate converting corrected and the AVI file is forced to have
a minimum length of one frame.
In v1.0 and 1.1 you should avoid using AVI files with one single
frame - use a still image instead.
When a project backup were loaded, the default AVI file name in
"Make movie" were set to "avi".
Cause: A backup project has no project name (which is used to form
the default file name) and only the extention is left.
Fix: The filename will now be forced to "untitled.avi" as normally.
In version 1.0 and 1.1 you should manually change the name before
producing the movie.
Make movie dialog had a small inconsistency after Format had been
altered.
Project options didn't show the correct compressor (unless it was
Cinepak).
v1.2 NEW FEATURES ADDED
Personal AVI Editor now prompts the user before producing a movie
with the same name as an existing file.
The screen layout is now saved with the project.
Load speed increased for large projects.
Drawing speed increased for large projects.
v1.21 FIXED SOME ERRORS
In some cases rounding caused still-images to be inserted with the
wrong length (eg. a 1 sec. still-image became a 0.5 sec. still-
image, when the frame rate where set to 2 fps.).
CAUSE: A rounding problem in the convertion from second to frames.
FIX: Convertion code fixed.
In earlier version you would have to adjust the length manually or
enter a time of eg. 1.01 sec. in place of 1.0 sec.
The video part of a preview would stop playing to early when the
project frame rate was lower than the frame rate of the avi-file.
CAUSE: The preview failed to regard the rate difference.
FIX: The preview now uses the true frame rate of the avi-file
during preview.
In earlier version you could temporary change the project frame
rate to correct the preview problem.
The audio part of a preview was not always played.
CAUSE: When the audio track only had one single audio file, the
preview failed to reset the audio pointer, causing the
audio to fail at even numbers previews.
FIX: The audio pointer is now reset every time the preview is
started.
In earlier version you could terminate the preview immediately and
then restart it.
