What's New

We now have very basic audio
enabled<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDco_MPE-yY>in the renders. For
now, it's just the in-camera audio, along the exact
same time-slice as the video.

This release is also the first to use GStreamer
1.0<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0>where we can.
Currently we're just using 1.0 for the Dmedia extractor and
transcoder, as there hasen't been a GStreamer 1.0 release of gnonlin yet,
and there is a small
issue<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678663>preventing us
from porting the Novacut thumbnailer. All the same, this is
an exciting step on the road to GStreamer 1.0!

I've also continued my research on deep testing with
GStreamer<https://plus.google.com/u/0/114471118004229223857/posts/A4Dgc65J2MY>.
Video editing is tedious, and pro editors work long hours, so we feel that
impeccable reliability is a must.

Automated testing is also important for us as we're a small team with
limited resources. The higher we keep our quality, the faster we can
develop. So we're holding back on adding new features till we have a sane
way to guarantee their reliability, release after release.
Install Novacut 12.06

Please follow these
instructions<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/HowToInstall>to install
Novacut on Ubuntu
12.04 LTS <http://www.ubuntu.com/>. Note that if you've already installed a
previous version of Novacut, you'll automatically get Novacut 12.06 the
next time the Ubuntu Update Manager runs.

If you're trying Novacut for the first time, you probably want to
start by watching
this <https://vimeo.com/groups/novacutartistdiaries/videos/41021506> so you
understand a bit about Dmedia, and then watch
this<https://vimeo.com/groups/novacutartistdiaries/videos/41021504>to
get a good tour of Novacut.
