Instant subtitles

If you've ever gone through a movie adding subtitles, you'll know what a slow, tedious and laborious process it is. It's even more annoying if you've already put the dialog into the say activities to improve the lip sync.

We've just finished off adding a feature which will take a lot of that work away from you. When you add subtitles in the Cutting Room, there's an option to automatically generate subtitles from the say activities in your movie. Moviestorm will then add the subtitles to your entire movie.

Obviously, if you make spelling mistakes in your say activities, you'll get them in your subtitles too...

You can then manually adjust the subtitles individually if you want. It's still a bit fiddly, but it's a lot quicker than having to add them all in one at a time.

Swordfighting preview

It's been a long time in the works, involving a whole load of rewritten code in areas we didn't expect, and a complete new version of Moviestorm, but finally the sword fighting pack is ready for release. We're currently in the process of wrapping everything up, sending it to the server, and checking the download, and we'll have it for you some time next week, priced 2000 MSP.

The pack includes two characters, the swordsman and swordswoman, a collection of swords and shields, and a huge collection of animations. And, to recreate that authentic Ren Faire atmosphere, there's a medieval tent and flagpoles.

Here's a first look at what you can do and how to use it.



For best effect, combine it with the medieval packs from Moddingstorm, which include more costumes, hairstyles, beards, horses and a castle. They're available together as the Medieval Addon Collection, which saves you 25% over buying them individually.

Moviestorm on Windows 8

Overheard in the Moviestorm office:

"Moviestorm functions fine on Windows 8. I don't function fine on Windows 8, however. It combines some of the things I hate about Macs with some of the things I hate about Windows."

Update to Bonus Content: Violin and animations.

This update to the Bonus Content includes a classical violin, which can be used on set as a static item or by your characters as an animated held prop. It includes a wooden or tintable body material and character animations so that it can be played on the low and high strings. Combine this prop with the piano, drum kit , saxaphone, trumpet and guitar items and you'll soon have a full band to perform in your movies!

(p.s. Bonus content is not currently available for Moviestorm Education users due to the lack of internet connectivity needed to regularly update the pack. However, we do update Moviestorm Education’s content to include all appropriate Bonus Content with each version update).

iStorm?

Still in development... but it's coming.
