New Features
- PowerPC support
Morph now contains native morphing code for machines equiped with a PowerPC chip. Performance is approximately 2-4 times faster than on a Quadra 605 (25MHz LC040).
- Faster morphing
The morphing routine has been optimized to increase performance on all machines. Morphing is 50-100% faster than version 2.0.
Bug Fixes
- When creating a document from scratch, if the morph image window cannot be made the dimensions of the first image loaded (due to insufficient memory) the image will be 80x80 pixels (instead of 1x1 in 2.0).
- Memory management has been improved to handle larger images better as well as low memory situations.
- The Tool Palette is now correctly displayed during low memory conditions or when a Hewlett Packard DeskWriter printer driver is chosen.
Other Bug Fixes
1) More sensative to disk related errors while exporting movies.
2) Points and lines now reflect the current crossfade settings when displayed in the morph image window.
3) The 'Enter Still Duration' dialog now works in the same time base as currently selected for the document.
4) All of the copy key times functions work as expected.
5) The Revert menu item works as expected.
6) All "custom" warping modes work as expected.
Common problems
1) Some users have complained about red dots appearing in the completed QuickTime movie. While we have never observed them, they apparently are artifcats of the Video compressor. Increasing the compression quality or choosing a different compressor should fix the problem. Generally, any artifacts that appear in the resulting movie but not in the morph image window are a result of the QuickTime compression being applied to the image as it is written to disk.
2) The duration of a sequence is determined by the duration of the start image of that sequence. The duration is the distance between the in and out points which are by default at the beginning and end of the image. Moving either or both of the points using the Mark item of the View menu will change the duration of the image and as a result, the duration of the sequence.
