Vuo 1.1.0-alpha1 starts implementing some major new features, like movie exporting.
Changes
Here’s what we’ve done in the last 4 weeks:
Examples
- Fixed the missing image in “Show Hand Status”.
Built-in Nodes, Types, and Input Editors
-
vuo.image
- Added
Save Image
.
- Added
-
vuo.shader
- Added
Shade Edges with Color
.
- Added
-
vuo.video
- Added
Append to Movie
andMake Movie Format
.
- Added
- Modified the
Fetch Scene
andFetch List of Scenes
nodes to automatically add estimated texture coordinates and tangents if importing a 3D model that lacks them, so that the resulting 3D object will look reasonable when passed through object filter nodes that require texture coordinates and tangents. - Fixed a crash when changing the server name on the
Send Image via Syphon
node. (Thanks to @architek1 for reporting this bug!) - Fixed a bug where 3D objects loaded by
Fetch Scene
would disappear during livecoding. - Fixed overzealous mouse tracking by
Check Mouse Status
node, where it would track even when the window (if specified) and application were not active.
Vuo Editor
- Added the ability to export movies with interactive recording (“Start Recording…” menu item in the Vuo Editor and the running composition / exported app) and offline rendering (“Export > Movie…” menu item in the Vuo Editor).
- Added a menu item and keyboard shortcut to re-fire the most recently manually fired trigger port. (Thanks to @emervark for suggesting this feature!)
- Added menu items to change a composition’s protocol between Image Filter, Image Generator, or none.
- Added automatic detection of protocol changes, so that if adding a published port makes the composition conform to a protocol, the composition is displayed as having that protocol.
- Improved the readability of error dialogs by moving the detailed text into a hidden-by-default portion of the dialog.
- Fixed a “file not found” web page error when trying to activate the Vuo Editor with Firefox as the default browser.
- Fixed the delayed response when trying to display port popovers and edit port values while the composition is rebuilding during livecoding.
Documentation
- Clarified and expanded the documentation for several nodes and node sets.
Vuo Compiler
- Made compositions build faster, so that it takes less time to start a composition running.
- Added error handling when trying to open an unparsable composition.
- Fixed crashes when trying to run large compositions (hundreds of nodes). (Thanks to @zwei-p for reporting this bug!)
SDK
- Composition runner API
- Added the option to create a composition runner directly from a string, without having to read it from file.
- Fixed a race condition in which a call to fire an event through a published input port followed by a call to set a published input port value would sometimes be handled in the reverse order.
- Node and type API
- Added a
VuoIsDebugEnabled()
function and corresponding Vuo Editor preference to support “debug mode” code within nodes. - Added support for the
isDeprecated
key within node metadata to prevent a node class from appearing in the Node Library.
- Added a
- Command-line tools
- In
vuo-export
, added an option to export a movie. Exporting an application (the other option) now requires an extra argument. - In
vuo-compile
, added an option to read the input composition from standard input. - Added output of the help text when no input file is provided.
- In
Known issues in the alpha release
- Movie export is still a work in progress…
- The “Vuo Free Trial” watermark is always shown.
- If the composition window is resized while recording a movie, recording stops.
- No progress bar is shown while the movie is exporting.
- Antialiasing and motion blur are not yet implemented.
- Movie export fails for unusually small or large frame rates and image sizes.
- On some GPUs, only the lower left quarter of a composition window appears in the movie.
- The
Append to Movie
node is a work in progress…- The “Vuo Free Trial” watermark is always shown.
- It doesn’t yet work for the ProRes encodings.
- It doesn’t append images that have a different size than the first image received.
- It sometimes doesn’t create the movie file for movies without audio.
- The audio track sometimes ends up shorter than the video track.
- The user manual is in the process of being reorganized, so some text doesn’t flow and some links are broken.
