"I am personally using Bogart 3 and love it! Audio editing is so much quicker." RON, CasaUser.com
Bogart 3 Intro - from MSUS VP Phillip Bice
Hello all! I've just taken a sneak peek of Bogart 3 in our Beta Testing Lab... it's looking pretty good!
Here's a quick teaser of things to come:
- Many new changes and enhancements to audio editing especially when using the Timeline display.
- Audio rendering is only needed for effects. Other audio mixing will not need any rendering!
- Pre pre-mixing is now possible! You can edit on top of an unlocked track of audio without having to delete the sample.
- A new display mode has been added during playback of the storyboard which allows you to see relevant scene names, effect names, and images.
- A project can now be copied to a different and empty project!
- In addition to 1440x1080, HD resolutions 1920x1080 and 1280x720 are now also supported
- It is now possible to record HDV and AVCHD in SD projects and to record DV in HD projects. If necessary, everything will be converted while recording.
- When importing via USB, it is now possible to read several other formats in addition to AVCHD in the Bogart Recording menu.
- Photo and time-lapse recordings are now also possible for HD projects
