VideoScribe 2.1 beta was released on 4 November 2014. You'll find big improvements to the colour palette, move-in function and general stability. New features include animated GIFs, charts and data, rulers and guides, plus hundreds of new assets.
We're excited to announce the release of VideoScribe 2.1 beta – available to all Pro users from the 4 November. Upgrading is as simple as logging into your Sparkol account for the download link.
New features
Animated GIFs
The new GIF feature is designed to help you make your scribes even more appealing. Simply choose a GIF from the GIFs folder in the image library or import your own to jazz up a scribe.
You can adjust the length of each GIF’s loop and even have several running at once.
Charts and data
This feature lets you make unique, attractive charts for your scribe. Simply click the charts and data icon, enter your data, choose from the three chart types – pie, bar or line – and choose your colour scheme.
Copy and paste your data directly from Microsoft Excel and VideoScribe automatically formats it into a graph for you.
Rulers and Guides
The ruler along the top and sides of the canvas will help you line up your elements better. Drag the ruler down or across to create guide lines for even more precise placement.
New controls:
- Double-click on an element to bring up its properties
- Hold down the shift key and drag an element to move it quickly
Improvements
Expanded colour palette
A more diverse range of colours has been made available for your text and image silhouettes in the colour picker.
Better interaction with file explorer/ finder
Version 2.1 remembers the last place you exported a scribe to, so you won't have to specify the location all over again.
Stability and recovery improvements
You can now log back in immediately if a crash occurs, instead of having to wait five minutes before getting back to your scribe.
Improved move-in direction
The move-in function now forces images to move along their axis, instead of moving from the centre-edge of canvas.
Better audio playback in preview
The music now pauses and resumes correctly throughout the scribe playback.
Fonts are optimised and upload faster
The font import process is now quicker and more memory efficient.
New Assets:
Over 400 new people images
