I just want to say I wouldn't be on this site today if I hadn't got your book "Learn Movie Making with Stop Motion Animation" for my birthday about 6 or 7 years ago. Thanks for changing my life! ;)]]></description>

I think this app might be my "go to" app for quick grabs and practice shots.  It's so lightweight its too easy to just launch it, grab a few practice shots and then review.  :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[New version (1.2) is up. This version is my first iteration with an "import frames" feature.

You have the option to select a directory of frames, then set the name and image-number of new frames generated.

[b]togfox[/b], no pretty colors for the interface yet, but I believe I fixed that issue with the timeline not detecting cursor clicks.

Feedback welcome, as always.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[b]togfox[/b], I was thinking I would have another iteration of the application up by the end of the day, but I'm making forward progress on the frame-import ability, and I think I'll delay releasing the next version until this is working properly. May take another day or so.

[b]brickelodeon[/b], I'd wait a bit before adding anything to the Resources section. I'll be releasing a few more versions here, so the link is going to change.

That Chrome malicious file warning... I think once I have the file hosted on my own site, then the message will go away. I know I'll get a million emails if it doesn't.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[b]tenny1028[/b], Apologies for the warning message. Kieren is correct. The new version of Chrome is very picky about files that it can't immediately identify, particularly .EXE files, which the .ZIP contains.

I'll be hosting the file on my site eventually, which (I hope) will make the message go away for Chrome users. In the meanwhile, I'm sure the application will pass any antivirus test you run on it. ;)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=tenny1028]Why does chrome say that this file could harm my computer?[/quote]

Because of the size I believe. It's too large for Chrome to scan, and it's not coming from a trusted source (ie: a website that anyone can edit freely that has none or very little verification.)]]></description>

[/spoiler]

Just like before - the app launches even though this error comes up.

When starting a new project, the AVI extension comes up by default.  Doesn't seem to matter but.

I'm getting okay'er (is that word?) with the onion skin button and Live button.  o skin is more intuitive with the reverse slider.  Can you colour the font/background on the button when active/deactivated?  This is less important for o skin as you can see the slider.  More important for live mode.  I know the button has an on/off state that you can see - but I think live could be a nice green when live and a nice red when not live (getting picky now).  With practice, I can live with the the live (pun intended) button as it is.

Hmm - notification of export location removed.  Found it in parent folder.  Acceptable.  

"Make movie" text is much better.  And it doesn't close the project.  :D

Umm.  The frame slider is busted.  I can't "scroll" through my frames any more - well - the number changes but the image does not.  I want to delete an earlier frame but now I can't identify it using the slider.  Bug.  I didn't notice that last time.  Only happens after exporting???

Can't open an old project - as already stated.  If this is pitched at entry level, I could live with this, provided I were forewarned (in the manual), but anyone moving past foundation will find this reason enough to stop using your software.

When starting a new project, the "Save current project" should probably be removed.  I clicked "NO" and it deleted all my frames.  Is that the intention?  If so, it worked beautifully and I lost all my work (all 30 seconds worth) - as warned.  I'm just not sure why you would want a feature that deletes an entire project.  It offers more danger than it does convenience IMO but that's your call.  

This is getting better and I'd certainly endorse this product for first-timers and newbies - over helium frog.

And here is 16 frames of me testing my new camera crane with your s'ware - in daylight - so ignore the bad quality lighting.

			<description><![CDATA[Afternoon coding session here. I worked to implement some of the feedback I've received. Updated application can be downloaded in the title post.

[b]togfox[/b], I've reversed the onion-skinning slider, and I'll be thinking about the overall design with the slider + button. This may be overkill.

That DLL error is connected to DirectX, and may be something that pops up with specific graphic cards. I might be totally wrong about this, but my initial research turns up a lot of frustrated gamers having issues with that same DLL and DirectX.  

Secondly, the export-process has been changed. Now, instead of the frames being removed from the application immediately after export, you must click "File" > "New..." to remove the existing frames.

Grab sound-effect to come. ;) I may postpone any image-sequence importing features until I get more feedback on this initial version.

[b]END films[/b], in response, I'd say I'm shooting for something that's simpler than Helium Frog. If total n00bs can sit down with my animation program and figure out the interface quickly, then I'll consider it a success.

However, are there particular features you think a framegrabber app should have that are missing in my app? I don't think I could code an X-Sheet interface quickly, but a more-advanced timeline is something I would consider for future versions. ;)]]></description>
