			<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone! I just released a new version of Rotostitch. 

** You can get the release binaries on github here: [url=https://github.com/AWFeldick/Rotostitch/releases/tag/v1.1.0]Rotostitch Version 1.1.0[/url]. **

The changes are listed there but since there are not many, here they are:
[list=*]
[*]Added support for aspect ratio adjustment to compensate for some perspective distortion[/*]
[*]Version number now displayed in title bar[/*]
[*]Mouse wheel zoom direction in previews switched to better match most other programs[/*]
[/list]

In addition to the new release, I also updated the project's Wiki on github. There is now a fairly extensive tutorial for anyone who was have issues using the program. It also describes how to use the new aspect ratio adjustment feature, so check it out! :yes: 

As always, I'll try to field questions and bugs fairly quickly. Don't hesitate with feature requests either, though I obviously can't promise anything.]]></description>

I'm not quite sure how I'll use this yet but if I can push any envelope just that little bit further then I'm all over it.  :lol:]]></description>

@rioforce
About the zooming issue. Yeah, that was actually intentional, though now that you mention it, I notice it is opposite most programs. I'll switch that in the next release. 

As for the my setup for turning the head, unfortunately it would be difficult to replicate for you probably. I used my custom built camera pan head. It is stepper motor controlled, geared down, and turns on bearings, so it is very, very smooth. Using pure Lego gears and technic pieces and such should get you pretty close though, close enough for step 2 to finish it off. The real magic I applied was after filming (I just used my QC9000 btw). After I filmed the rotation I put the video through a 2d stabilization pass that pretty much removed all remaining wobble and jitter. Honestly, the 2d stabilization step worked wonders. I am going to post a short tutorial on how I did that sometime this week.  Your test doesn't look that bad though really!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone thanks for the comments. I'll answer questions in more detail tomorrow. 

@Nathan Wells Don't feel bad. Getting a Python program to work from source can be an issue if you aren't familiar with Python. I'll try to get a .exe released soon also.]]></description>

If you wish to do digital facial animation for a brickfilm, you could use this app to stretch out your LEGO minifgure head, trace the stretched out face in a program such as Illustrator, and then create the different phoneme shapes from there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This program is really awesome. Really. I already made a test. Yea, it didn't turn out well, because my camera was shakey. I am going to build a gear system to smoothly and efficiently rotate the head (and not touch my camera next time :P ) May I ask how you made your setup to make the head rotation so smooth?

I do have a bug report while I am here, though. In the image preview window, when I scroll down, it zooms in, and when I scroll up, it zooms out. Is that intentional? Also, may I ask why you did not freeze the Python files into an EXE? My brother uses cx-freeze.sourceforge.net, but he says thinks there may be a bug in with with Python 3.4, but he hasn't used it in a while, and thinks it might be fixed. You may want to try it anyway. It'll help out those who have difficulty setting it up (like me :P ).]]></description>
