GAP for GIMP 2.6 released
GAP is a collection of GIMP plugins that make it possible to create animations as sequences of single frames. The result can be saved as animated GIF, AVI or MPEG file (external libraries are used for this).
Now GAP 2.6.0 has been released. The new version is optimised for GIMP 2.6 and offers some new functionality.
From the NEWS file:
- Storyboard undo support
- Storyboard section support. complex scenes can be described within subsections
where each subsection can arrange multiple clips in multiple individual video tracks.
- Storyboard clips support new deinterlace modes Odd First, Even First
- Player supports extracting audio track when playing clips
that refere to a videofile that has one or more audiotrack(s)
(the extracted audio can be used for audioplayback
if audiosupport is enabled and wavplay is installed)
- Filtermacro processing now supports mapping to
persistent drawable id references.
This allows applying recorded filtermacros in another gimp session
in case the recorded last values buffer data contains references
to drawable ids.
such as the drawable for a bump map in the plug_in_bump_map,
or all the layers that were used to map on a quader in plug_in_map_object.
- video extract supports generating transparency via bluebox effect.
- the master video encoder dialog now stays open while the encoder
process is running and shows encoding progress (with Cancel option)
- lossless frame extract and videocut for MJPEG encoded videoclips
is supported by the storyboard processor and in the
AVI1, FFMPEG and RAWFRAMES encoders (via dont recode flag)
- frontends for old external video encoders and the old xanim based
frame extract plug-in are not bulit per default.
- Modify Frames now supports creation of grayscale layer from
alpha channel, or layermask or mix of both
- added wrapper for rotate any angle.
(provides support for animated apply in “filter all layers”
or in fltermacros for rotation effects in storyboard clips)
- added wrapper for the resynthesizer
(provides support for animated apply of the 3rd party plug-in resynthesizer)
- external libs for vidoe read and write access
were updated to ffmpeg-0.5 and libmpeg3-1.8
- bugfixes and updates for the use with GIMP-2.6.x releases.(see ChangeLog for details)
