Connecting the HD camera via HDMI provides an alternative that does not require Final Cut Pro for HD capture on Mac Pro computers.Īnother benefit of running iStopMotion 2.1 on Mac OS X Leopard is that users can now use multiple video sources simultaneously, for example capturing different angles of the same scene to only one computer. MPEG2 licensing issues make the purchase of Final Cut Studio a requirement for this workflow. With iStopMotion 2.1, Mac OS X 10.5 and a codec that Apple delivers with Final Cut Studio, iStopMotion 2.1 can capture frames off the MPEG2 data stream from the camera and use it for the live preview. "We're thrilled that developers like Boinx Software embrace Leopard's technologies and find ways to further improve the user experience for their products."Įver since the first HD camcorders came out, users wanted to connect them to iStopMotion through their FireWire connetions. "Mac OS X Leopard offers over 300 new features and advanced technologies, including Core Animation which helps developers easily create animated user experiences," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "iStopMotion 2.1 will be the first of our applications to be optimised to take advantage of Leopard improvements." The application is scheduled to ship in late 2007. "New features in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will directly benefit our customers in the immediate future," says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software.
