Development Update - Thumbnails and Quicker Parsing Coming Soon

Thursday, March 04, 2010

We have been working hard in the last few weeks since the launch on integrating some new features to trakAxPC Pro. Personally I am really excited about them and wanted to give you a sneak peak of what you can expect.

Video and Photo Thumbnails

If you are like me with thousands of photos and images (not very well organised), it can sometimes be difficult to find the footage or photo you are looking for. Currently I use the “View in Windows Explorer” function and drag the images directly from Windows Explorer into trakAxPC. We realise however, that this is not a perfect solution. That’s why for the next release, we have integrated a Thumbnail viewer. Whether you prefer the regular Explorer, Scan or Recent Files style Media Browser within trakAxPC, you will be able to view all your videos and photos as Thumbnails.

Although this is still a work in progress, I have attached some screenshots below:

We have a few more plans for how we deal with photos, but I’ll come back to that when I have something solid to show you guys.

In Track Parsing

Another feature we have been working on is ”In Track Parsing”. At the moment, when you drag in a large video track or open a large mix, trakAxPC must parse these files before placing them in the track. With our new In Track Parsing, you simply drag in your files and the parsing will take place in the background. This means that you never have to stop working on your mix and should lead to a much more productive workflow. To give you an idea of how this will work in action, please see the screenshot below:

If you buy trakAxPC, you are eligible to these features as a FREE UPGRADE once they become available - Visit our store today.

Would love to hear your feedback and comments on these upcoming features!

We were delighted to be mentioned in a recent article by TechEye entitled “Here’s some hot software from Irish start-ups” - you can read the full article here.

Dublin-based High Andes’ trakAxPC Pro application offers a professional-standard studio for Windows desktops that enables the rapid creation of music and video content.

Launched in December 2009 trakAxPC Pro offers music and film makers of all skill levels access to free or very cheap tools that allow them to create YouTube videos, home movies, original audio tracks, and multimedia slideshows.

Building on the popularity of High Andes free-to-download trakAxPC application, trakAxPC Pro introduces new features and functionality, including one-click upload to YouTube; support for YouTube HD, instant file conversion, Video Credits and Text, automatic crossfading for quick mixes, collaging and support for all popular file formats. you the pro DJ feel.

Many thanks to Shan Kelly for the mention in this list and it’s great to see some positive news coming from Ireland (for a change!).
----------------------------
On another note, the trakAx Team would like to congratulate Cormac and Rachael on the birth of their new son, Tom. Many users will know Cormac from his great support on the forum and he is taking a few days well earned rest with Rachael to celebrate their new arrival. Congrats to both of you!

User Video - Cross Country Skiing

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Yesterday, I received this great video and message from a trakAxPC user, André Laprade in Canda, which I thought was worth sharing:

“I did a 50km race two weekends ago wearing a GoPro HD Hero and put the video on Youtube on Thursday. I used TrakAxPc to produce it (except for the opening screen). Within 24 hours of the posting, the ski club received phone calls from two TV networks and one from the head office of Subaru Canada (who sponsors cross-country ski events), all expressing an interest in the video.”

I’m really impressed with the quality of the final video - have to check out those GoPro cameras, which are surprisingly affordable. Well done to André for such an amazing achievement - to finish a 50k Cross-Country Ski Marathon is really something and thanks for sharing the video.

Known Issue: Exporting a File when in FREE Mode

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Please Note: This issue does not effect users who have paid for or are currently running the full version of TrakAxPC Pro in trial mode.

It has come to our attention that the FREE version of trakAxPC (i.e when the 30 day free trial has ended) does not allow users to export a file.

We are working on fix for this and hope to have it released in the next few days.
This issue does not effect users who have paid for or are currently running the full version of TrakAxPC Pro in trial mode.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
