New Features Introduced

Several new features have been incorporated within this release; the new functions introduce an enhancement to the method of tracking these include a new default tracking technique which allows Monet Version 2.0.5 to double the speed of tracking.

Interlaced Single Frame Tracking: For interlaced projects the default is now to track every second field and interpolate the track for in-between fields. This doubles the speed of tracking. The user can switch this feature and revert to tracking every field by switching on "Track Individual Fields" in the Tracker settings.

Layer Link to Adjust Track: When linking a layer to the tracking data of another layer there is now the option to link to the adjusted track. This is controlled by a new "Link to Adjusted Track" checkbox in Layers.

Reference Frames on Every Frame: When using the Luminance feature and creating reference frames, you can optionally select "Build on Every Frame" which creates the filtered reference frame on every frame.

Universal Binary: This version is the first to be available as a universal binary on Mac, and runs natively on both Intel and PowerPC Macs.

Fault List Fix
Below is the list of known faults that have been corrected in this release. All fixes have been incorporated and tested for this release.

Application locks after stopping playback: The problem was that auto-save cannot occur during playback but can occur once playback has been stopped. Project save can be slow due to the encoding of the garbage mattes. This has changed so that the mattes are not saved in an auto-save file. This greatly increases the speed of project auto-saving

Trace jumps vertically with interlaced clips: When you display the trace for the tracking reference points of a layer in an interlaced project, the position jumps up and down through the even and odd fields.

Threaded Execution Failure - Hangs on Tracking: When tracking backwards from the end of the clip the bug was that the tracker would track the end frame into itself. This resulted in an infinite loop when tracking frames near to the end frame,

Stabilizer AutoFill feature does nothing: The problem was that the output matte produced by the stabilizer was being computed correctly in each thread, but the mattes were not being brought together after the threads had finished, so the output matte was white everywhere. Then there was nothing to fill!

Incomplete track error in stabilizer preview: When you only track part of a shot and then switch to stabilizer, you immediately get an error message saying 'Overlay Error Tracking Data incomplete Tracking data....' This happens even when you are on a frame that has been tracked. The solution is to change the 'Range' setting to only include the range that has been tracked, but that is not obvious to a new user.

Matte artefacts: If you create very thin layers, the rendered mattes (not the interactive preview) can have a "staircase" of white pixels, resulting in renders with artefacts.

Curve Weight problem: The previewed matte can appear to be too blocky, especially when zoomed in. The problem disappears on rendering. The sampling of splines used in rendering the matte has been increased to make it the same as when drawing the curves.

New Features IntroducedThe new release, mofex 1.1. 4, incorporates compatibility with the latest release of Shake as well as creating a standard universal binary that will support both Intel and PowerPC Macs.

• Shake 4.1 support - This release provides compatibility for the product with Shake version 4.1
• Universal Binary - This release is a universal binary, supporting both Intel and PowerPC Macs.
