ZS4 Video Compositing Software v0.942

Version 0.942 beta is now available from the download page.

Changes in this version include the following:
  • Free frame support has been added. This will allow 3rd parties to develop there own ZS4 plugins.  It will also allow the use of 3rd party plugins with ZS4.
  • A whole bunch of effect filters are being added for v0.942 beta.
    21 of them are designed to generate transparencies/opacities from color component statistics. such as neighbourhood brightness to alpha channel, saturation to alpha channel, R,G,B,U or V to alpha channel, either the average of the correcsponding component in the area, the maximum or the miniumum.
    Another two effects  are "brighten dark areas" and "darken bright areas", nifty for fixing up footage with extreme contrast problems.
    An other two effects permit the scrolling by of text files vertically (end of video credits) or horizontally (like news tickers). 

    Note: All of the new 25 effects above will produce a strawberry watermark in the final output (windows). The watermark can be removed by registering the ZS4 program via the register button at the bottom right of the ZS4 user interface.

  • A new preview button on each track of the arrangement pane (track view) and the "current" tab will automatically generate low quality output and open the result using a media playback program which is resident on the system (3rd party).  There is also a replay last preview button in the global toolbar (bottom left).
  • Included a movable divider for the video rectangle pane.
  • The space bar on a var tab variable, which should only make the variable "current", also used to move the current time to the next key frame (or the end of the current track). this is fixed.
  • The program crashed when pressing up/down arrow keys or enter (min/max/default short cuts) on string variables (string, font name, etc) in the vars tab (bottom left). These shortcuts are now disabled for string values.

 

download problem

When I try to run the program , my XP tells me that the setup files are corrupt.

links checked: ok

i have triple checked the links of current windows downloads:

http://devel.zs4.net/t@b_zweistein_win32_686_0509031743.exe
http://devel.zs4.net/t@b_zweistein_win32.exe

and they both downloaded and installed fine on our XP box.
these are the only official links for for the latest win32 versions.
