I knew I was a bad actor, but I looked good, so I had to go on acting… Gilda asked me to rehearse my dialog. I said my lines in a mechanical way and she punched me in the face… A punch from Gilda de Abreu turned me into an actor.

This software is free and does not collect any data!
In moving pictures I have found my life’s work. I find at once an outlet for my emotions and my ideals. I can preach to my heart’s content, and with the opportunity to write the play, act the leading role, and direct the entire production, if my message fails to reach someone, I can blame only myself.

- Ability to switch from slider to input field for row count, column count and minutes per row
this gives theoretically the ability to increase row and column count to 100 resulting in 10000 thumbs. This feature is still experimentaland the maximum possible values have not been tested! I did a test with 5000 thumbs which took some time.
If you want to experiment with it do the following
— Scroll all the way down in the settings menu
— Set theMax size cached framesvalue to 80 (this is the frame resolution used for displaying within MoviePrint, when saving a MoviePrint the frame get’s captured in the appropriate size)
— Check theShow input field instead of slider
— Scroll up and manually set column and row count. Be patient everything now takes time. I suggest you slowly approach the maximum values 🙂 - Basic smoke test
Note:
In case you have used a previous version it is wise to doMenu -> View -> Reset applicationthe first time you startup the new version.
