Yes, there's still more bugfixes in this beta version. FotoMagico now works with libraries converted to the latest iPhoto format and also supports and shows all the new album types seen in iPhoto 7.0 (part of iLife '08). Events (except for the "Recent" one) are not accessible outside iPhoto, so FotoMagico cannot display them. Look around for some other news as well. Get the latest beta here: FotoMagico 2.1 Beta 10

Elliott Cost, Mac Filmmaking:

This week I was lucky enough to interview the CEO of Boinx Software, Oliver Breidenbach. If your not familiar with iStopMotion, it's a simply way of capturing stop motion videos directly to your Mac. I asked Oliver questions ranging from, how Boinx Software was started, to the impact iStopMotion has had educationally.

Now it's even easier to have your slideshow on the iPhone. There's a convenient export preset in the latest FotoMagico beta. Plus important fixes. Get it here: FotoMagico 2.1 Beta 9

If you continue to experience problems with this release, please contact support at your earliest convenience. We added even more logging capabilities that hopefully help us tracking problems even better and faster.

While the process of localization, documentation and final design continues, engineering works hard to solve the remaining issues in iStopMotion 2. After thinking for a while we decided to totally rework the compositing sidebar as it was not exactly intuitive before. We are a lot more happy with the new version, but tell us what you think as you are the users!

There's of course also a huge number of fixes and other small improvements to stability and functionality. Read the included Release Notes if you like to know all the details.

Download iStopMotion 2.0 FC3 here now or from the new iStopMotion 2 pages later when the page has been updated.

Amongst millions of other changes and rather important fixes the new version finally produces real fast-start web movies! Get it here: FotoMagico 2.1 Beta 8

If you experience problems with this release, please contact support at your earliest convenience. We added new logging capabilities that hopefully help us tracking problems even better and faster now.

Oliver joined hosts Scott Sheppard and Brad Wright for an hour of chat and fun at the Inside Mac Radio Studios in San Francisco. Listen to the June 16th 2007 show.
