  Lightworks 12 brings new content manager, color correction

  Publié: septembre 28, 2014, 6:22pm CEST par Mike Williams

  

  EditShare has announced the release of Lightworks 12, its powerful non-linear video editor for Windows, Linux, and -- at last -- Mac.

  The hugely extended Content Manager is a highlight. Everything is immediately accessible, there’s easier searching and filtering to help you find what you need, you can even drag and drop files directly into open bins as required.

  A new Blur effect is on hand in the Effects panel, while EditShare says powerful Color Correction and Selective Color Correction effects improve "dramatically" on the previous release.

  A smarter Play Engine automatically identifies interlaced or progressive material, adjusts your settings accordingly, and delivers improved playback performance.

  The Mac OS build supports ProRes encoding for Record, Rendering and Export.

  There’s now XML import from Final Cut Pro, along with the ability to export your edit sequence as an AAF direct to Resolve.

  The package also works neatly with Flow. You can drag and drop Flow sequences, Clips and Subclips into Lightworks, edit them, export an AAF and drag and drop it right back into Flow.

  Lightworks 12 is available now.

  Windows 9 download link leaks ahead of Technical Preview launch

  Publié: septembre 28, 2014, 1:19pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  

  This week we should finally be able to get our hands on Windows 9 code direct from Microsoft. There are only a couple of days to go until the Technical Preview is officially unveiled at an event in San Francisco, and excitement has been mounting. Slightly ahead of schedule, a page has appeared on the Microsoft website that includes a download link to the 32- and 64-bit versions of the Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise. Intriguingly, the page refers to a version of Windows named Windows TH, but it's not clear that this is actually the name that will be used.

  Before you get too excited about grabbing the latest Windows bits, it seems that the page is just a placeholder for now. The download button currently links to a non-updated version of the TechNet Evaluation Center, but a link to the download page that will be used was live briefly. It revealed that the US version of the Technical Preview weighs in at 3.16 GB and 4.10 GB. We've already got a pretty good idea of what to expect from the preview as there have been numerous build and screenshot leaks over recent weeks.

  Up until now it has been assumed that the name will be Windows 9, and it is possible that the TH suffix is related to the Threshold codename that has been used thus far. A photo posted by Terry Myerson, Executive Vice President of Operating Systems, gives little away. The photo came in response to name postulations on Twitter by Tom Warren from the Verge and Mary Jo Foley from ZDNet and shows Myerson standing in front of the new Windows logo. His body obscures the all-important part of the name, but Windows 9, Windows X, Windows One, or even just Windows are names that are hotly tipped to be the final moniker.

  There are no new details or screenshots provided at this stage, but the download page highlights the enterprise benefits of upgrading to the latest version of Windows:

  The next version of the Windows client operating system will enable IT professionals to provide users with a familiar experience across multiple devices while enhancing security and manageability. It will also offer new and improved features that enable businesses to: Defend against modern security threats, Elevate employee productivity, Embrace the mobile and cloud era, Enable upgrade without upheaval.

  Assuming things haven’t changed dramatically since the build leaks we've already seen, we have a good idea of what to expect. We might not be certain about what the name is going to be, but we know the Start menu, virtual desktops, and a new notification center are three features Microsoft hopes will be seen as an improvement over Windows 8.x.

  Will you be installing the Technical Preview as soon as you can, or are you going to hold off until the official launch?

  Acronis True Image 2015 brings new interface, faster online backups

  Publié: septembre 28, 2014, 12:47am CEST par Mike Williams

  Acronis International has unveiled Acronis True Image 2015, a significant update for its popular PC (and Mac) backup tool.

  An entirely new interface makes it easier than ever to run basic backups. Choose your source – which can now be "Entire PC" -- and destination, and it’s ready to go immediately.

  This simplified approach isn’t just skin deep, either: True Image 2015′s new focus on the core backup process means a host of "rarely used" features have been dumped.

  The user guide points out that Acronis Extended Capacity Manager, .tib <> .vhd Backup file conversion, Disk Editor, Boot Sequence Manager, File Shredder, Import and export of backup settings, Try&Decide and Mail backup are all no more.

  There are compensations. A deduplication system for online backups helps to avoid duplicate blocks being uploaded unnecessarily, which Acronis says improves performance by an average of 10 percent.

  Recovery is easier, with a simplified Media Builder (create Acronis and Windows PE discs from one interface) and optional recovery via wifi.

  "Universal Restore" means the program can take a backup from one PC and restore it to any other (subject to hard drive sizes, of course), regardless of manufacturer, making it useful as a migration tool.

  All the key configuration settings are still available, of course. Click the Options button and you can set up a backup scheme and method (full, incremental, differential), exclusion rules, password protection, validation, pre and post-backup commands, email notifications, a schedule, maybe even wake up a sleeping computer to run your backup job.

  A word of warning: if you made regular use of tools like Try&Decide then the new stripped down Acronis True Image 2015 might not appeal. But in general we think it makes sense to focus on the program’s core features, and if you’d like to try them out for yourself, a 30-day trial – with unlimited free online backup space -- is available now.
