Bogart SE V 4 accessible (in PAL ?)

First, a happy new year to all of you!

I have now installed Bogart SE V 3.5. But, in the installation-menu from the CD I noticed the text "Bogart SE 4". This made me a little curious, so I opened the Setting-menu: Install product, where I found that Bogart SE V 3.5 was active, and the same with Bog. SE V 1.13 and 2.10 !

Bogart SE V 4 was "hidden". I tried to activate it, but I didn't have the License No.

So, have anybody tried to activate the SE V 4, and used it?

The PAL users can activate their Bogart 4 software now (with the proper license code). MS started selling Bogart4 now.

I am working with a beta version of Bogart 4 for a couple of weeks now. Many smaller nice to have features have been added.

I've been playing with it for a couple of weeks - seems very good, I'd expect a release in the UK within the next two weeks (god knows when a manual might arrive though :roll: ).
I particularly like the first three improvements.
Here's a list of some of the possible extra's (not sure if it was posted on this forum before);
Bogart 4

Here's the partial list of the more important Bogart 4 features, hot off the presses. There are many other features and updates, and a full list will be available later. These are in no particular order of importance, as each of you has different needs and desires.

We're just beginning development, and anticipate release Q1 of 2011.

1) .png graphic import ability with alpha channel

2) HDV(and possibly AVCHD) background conversion for Arabesk

3) Native export formats (not in Media Manager) for YouTube, Vimeo,etc.

4) Freely selectable image size in scene bin

5) Variable f/x speeds, giving very elegant f/x

6) Freely selectable pre-sets for f/x lengths

7) Storyboard re-imports now keep scenes and scene names with HD

8) Freely definable f/x favorites which appear above the 'bar' in the f/x list

9) Search function for partial scene names

10) Pop-up menu for play, trim, and clipboard with small right trackball button

11) AVCHD controls during import for brightness, gamma, color, contrast, and audio volume

12) Full frame preview of AVCHD

13) Option to set auto-split pre import for AVCHD files

14) Any red audio over-modulation is now seen in all menus

15) Ability to control the volume of the entire audio track as a master clip

16) Freely definable black frame which helps with projection and underscan issues

1) is really nice - There is a new Pattern effect that supports adding PNGs to your clips. What most people do not know is that the title engline also is capable of adding graphics in PNG format (in any size and any aspect ratio).

And... (not mentioned) you can import AVIs / MP4 and all that stuff directly in the video record menu (no matter if you are working in SD or HD).

Seems your downconverts are excellent in Bogart 4?

So far there is no reason to complain :-)
