hawkeye 1.1 information…
alright here is the follow up post to the latest hawkeye release. there is a lot to cover in this post so it may have to be a multi part post (or at least edited and re-edited)
The first thing you will notice is the updated interface, for the most part it will echo the newer cleaner iTunes (i guess they did this new look with 7) There are also some new windows (chapter edit and subtitle palette)
chapter edit is a nice new edition. i’ll get this out of the way up front though, these chapters do NOT apply to iPod / iPhone playback, we hope to get to that in the next version.
these chapters apply to dvd authoring and file playback within hawkeye, you can bring up the chapters window from the file menu or from the contextual menu while selecting a file in the main table view. delete key will remove chapters and command + will add chapters during playback. if you want to add chapters while the file is not playing you can add them manually in the text field supplied on the chapters window. Make sure you format them properly 00:00:00
the subtitle palette is a simple palette with two text fields and color wells, these will be the stroke and fill color of the subtitles on any dvd you author after this point.
pre movies: these will play before any titles or the main menu of the dvd is played. An example would be any movie studio adding their own title movie prior to the presentation of the actual movie (new line cinema, miramax etc…), or maybe and FBI warning movies, things of that nature.
post movies: these movies will play after all the titles are finished playing on the dvd. (think dvd compression center video that used to be at the end of SEVERAL dvds, think old simpsons dvds)
more soon…
