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.

•Stomp now has a nice and shiny new icon!

Improvements
• 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.

• Updated to work in Leopard.
• Implementation of an ETA for encoding time.
• Fixed bugs with unnecessary undo operations.
• Now includes a friendly crash reporter - so that if anything bad happens during compression; it's easy to let us know (and we can work out if it's Stomp, or something to do with the QuickTime (or third party) compression codec.
• Registration system now turned on in the app.
• Server monitoring now stops polling when you close the window.
• Preview window now remembers its open/close state no matter how you open/close it.
• You can now close both the main Stomp window and preferences using Apple-W.
• The current presets are reselected correctly when you sort them using the table header
• Fixed bug whereby bad frames in a video could crash the compressor.
• When dragging videos into the recording list, or into the movie view - if the drag is accepted the icon no longer pings back to it's origin (which made it look as though the drag had failed).
• Fixed bug where in/out points were not stored against the video if they were changed with the mouse (as opposed to with the I and O keys).
• Stomp checks for the existence of the destination folder before beginning a compression job. It will prompt to create it if it does not exist.
• Fixed bug whereby encoding would fail if no audio tracks were present.
• The current frame marker no longer snaps back to the last used Out point when Stomp receives focus.
• A minor coredata issue was fixed (related to selection of filters - which caused a validation error to occur if you quit Stomp).
• Fixes to the Video recordings listing.
• Watermarks the video in demo mode; or if using alternative compression (which doesn't include effects thus watermarking) limits the video that can be transcoded.

• Fixed the bug that caused videos to appear twice as fast as the audio (if the final video frame rate was faster than the original rate).
• Fixed a bug whereby you couldn't rename a preset if some compression was in progress (the UI was receiving notifications from the compression servers and doing "the wrong thing").
• The compression servers are monitored much better now.    The UI is much better (more reliable and quicker to boot) at working out if a compression server has died or not.   This was actually another major revision of the queueing code - to the extent that I'm considering writing a technical document on it for those people who are interested in such things.  With little more work; the queuing mechanism would be happy monitoring servers running on different hosts (video compression grid, anyone?).
• Crash Logs are now automatically recorded if a compression server crash is detected.  At preset these are inserted into the standard job log.  This turns out to be useful; because a compression server can crash as a result of the codec.   I found this out the hard way attempting to compress Fraps (a windows screen capture tool) videos using Perian (a QuickTime component).     It is intended that if a compression server crashes while the UI is running; that the user be prompted to send the crash log to shinywhitebox (it's not done yet).
• Initial queuing speed (visual feedback) has been improved.  Now when you queue jobs - the queueing is instant.
• Several bugs were fixed with the out of process (default) queuing mechanism.
• Shortcut (Apple-L) added for the Log, in the Window menu.
• A server monitor has been added.  It's not really intended for casual use.  More for debugging at this point  But it's there.   Will it stay there?   That depends.  If no one says they really want it - I'm going to disable it for the v1 release.  No point having things in there that might confuse people.

• Better support for "lost" server processes - the UI will now better monitor what is happening with it's compression servers. This is simply a continuation of further reliability during video processing.
• The registration system is now in place (but not activated)
• Auto updater is now in place (and working!)

1. A better introduction, the preview window now gives the user a hint of what to do when starting stomp for the first time.
2. Presets are now locked by default. They are easily unlocked. It's also really really obvious when they are locked as opposed to having parts of the interface disabled because it's not relevant (e.g: you cannot change video settings when exporting to Apple TV - hence that part of the interface is disable if you select the Apple TV preset).
3. Folders! (well, the beginnings thereof). By defaults the presets are put into a Built-in folder. New presets are created in a "Custom" folder. The folders exist primarily to separate them - there's nothing stopping you unlocking the UI and modifying the names of the factory presets (Stomp is smart enough to recognize them as factory even though you might change their names).
4. Most options in preferences are now operational - just one to go now (the one re maximum number of tasks to run at once). All others are done!
