Novacut 12.08 Bit late on the release notes as we just got back from the GStreamer conference <http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/conference/>. Here are the slides from my presentation<https://plus.google.com/u/0/114471118004229223857/posts/AnR93YfgWj3>. Video of all the presentations will be available soon compliments of UbiCast<http://www.ubicast.eu/>(and by the way, the UbiCast folks are awesome). Special Thanks - Thanks to Cameron Bashaw <https://twitter.com/CameronBashaw> for taking the time to join our first "Novacut Chats" hangout on air<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8OgP9wDvWY> - Thanks to Angel Guzman Maeso<https://plus.google.com/u/0/113590119529183456350/posts>for building his FreeStation client<https://plus.google.com/u/0/113590119529183456350/posts/LdfWcEXHaa6>on Novacut tech and for helping with this month's UserWebKit release - Thanks to Steve Langasek<https://plus.google.com/104578446317453636168/posts>for reviewing and merging my proposed CouchDB 1.2.0 package (which is now in Ubuntu Quantal <http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/couchdb>) - Thanks to Jakub Wilk for giving me several rounds of patient feedback on the PySkein Debian package <http://mentors.debian.net/package/pyskein>I'm trying to get sponsored What's New We have a Novacut GStreamer 1.0 branch<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejderose/novacut/gst-1.0>locked and loaded, but we can't release it till there is a gnonlin package for GStreamer 1.0 (which hasn't been released upstream yet), and there are a few fixes we still need in GStreamer 1.0. Thanks to help from David Jordan<https://plus.google.com/u/0/101813889111560624054/posts>when he was in Colorado for our Novacut hackfest, the gst-1.0 branch <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejderose/novacut/gst-1.0> also contains what I think is probably the final design for our relative positioning schema. The new schema allows the Novacut edit description to express what we need for multicam and for arbitrary multi-track audio. In terms of new features in the released version of Novacut, we have a nice keyboard shortcuts help compliments of Matteo Ronchetti<https://plus.google.com/u/0/105618380002935245686/posts>. Plus, Matteo has continued to produce great prototypes for organizing slices within the Doodle<https://plus.google.com/u/0/105618380002935245686/posts/5o2uGpfH3HT>(not yet released). This month I wrote initial documentation for UserCouch<http://docs.novacut.com/usercouch/tutorial.html>, the Python3 library we use for starting per-user CouchDB instances. And as always, lots of work was done in Dmedia.<https://launchpad.net/dmedia/trunk/12.08>Significantly, James Raymond <https://plus.google.com/u/0/100070870253962033333/posts> merged the stand-alone Dmedia browser into the main Dmedia app. Install Novacut 12.08 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 12.08 the next time the Ubuntu Update Manager runs. However, you *will* have to reboot for the Novacut update to take effect. We know this is annoying, and very un-Ubuntu like. But we fixed this bug<https://bugs.launchpad.net/dmedia/+bug/902856>, so this is the last month you'll have to do this! 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.
