Video Toaster® [2] Build 3890

NewTek is pleased to offer the seventh free update for Video Toaster® [2]. Welcome to the very latest build of the Video Toaster [2] "TV Studio-in-a-box". This version introduces some significant new features to Toaster's operation, as well as speed and interactivity improvements.

Windows XP Support

As part of this build we have added Windows XP Support. This update is not part of the downloadable update offered below, due to size restraints. Registered Video Toaster [2] owners who wish to operate Video Toaster on Windows XP Professional need to get a new install CD from NewTek Europe. You may order this full CD here or by calling NewTek Europe. at +33 (0)557 262 262.

We suggest you begin with a fresh install of Windows XP Pro before installing Video Toaster [2]. Instead of upgrading the operating system, format the system drive and install Windows XP Service Pack 1 on a clean drive. This ensure that there will be no lingering Windows 2000 drivers. Service Pack 1 is necessary to improve SCSI disk performance for the video RAID. On initial boot-up of Windows XP after you have installed the Toaster card, XP will report new hardware found. Click "Cancel" and proceed by installing the Video Toaster software.

Additional Features

Firmware
A new version of Video Toaster Firmware has been included in this update to resolve an intermittent problem with some motherboards that might have had 'no video signal present' displayed in ToasterVision upon rebooting. This core update is not applied automatically, but it is recommended you update the core to the newest version. To run this, run the Core Updater shortcut from Start Menu, Video Toaster [2], Utilities, or open a Command window, and type "vtcoreupdate update" (without quotes) at the command line.

ToasterEdit
As a popularly-requested item for ToasterEdit, we have added a hotkey to be able to "nudge" clips forward or backward one frame at a time in Timeline view. This new hotkey is Alt + left or right arrow. You may also move the in and out points of clips by pressing "i + left or right arrow" for in points or "o + left or right arrow" for out points.

Aura
Aura VT 2.5b has a new filter to allow you to paint on any LightWave 3D image-mapped surface that is loaded into LightWave VT.
