Howler 9.6 released.
Version 9.6 of the natural media paint and animation program designed for visual effects work is now available. The new version is focused on improving the user experience on different kinds of hardware ranging from tablets to workstations, and adding new tools that are critical to visual effects.
See the new Demo Real:
Great new feature! The duplicate frame repair toolkit:
The new duplicate frame tool lets you manage video that has been damaged due to dropped frames or improper transcoding.
The tool helps you to find dropped or duplicate frames, then lets you manage them, either by deleting them, or extrapolating new in-between frames via motion prediction technology.
Other new features:
Revamped greenscreen compositing tool with color matrix adjustments.
Revamped camera stabilization/tracking and camera motion removal/restoration tool.
Revamped navigation. Zoom from pointer instead of center. Optional scrollbars for when the CTRL-Shift navigation isn’t possible, such as on tablets.
New Vector Blur filter.
New easy garbage masking for video using alt and rectangle/ellipse tools.
New benchmarking tool, the Dogmark. Use Howler to test the speed of different processors using academic image processing functions.
Tools for single point matchmoving.
Matchmoving a shot in under 3 minutes…
Support for higher resolution monitors. Fewer stacked panels at the top of the screen when a 1080p or higher monitor is available.
Revamped and animatable rubber sheet tool. (4 corner perspective warp)
Load directly to a stored image from the Browser.
GUI tweaks. Menu links to free transform tools for image and alpha.
Color replacer had an issue when animating h/s/v changes.
Added CPU fallback for foliage ambient occlusion that was only available on GPU previously.
Fixed a stability bug in the brush keyframer motion tracker and added features to support match move compositing.
