New Talking Face Features in the Show Designer

[Craig]

Just added the latest software release (V3.2.0) to the Website.
Changes include:

• Bug Fixes and various changes to optimise performance.
  
• Implode/Explode/Zoom In/Zoom Out Transitions for Pixel Effects.
  
• Pixel Mask to allow masked overlaying of Pixel Effects on Pixel Grids/Trees  (e.g. Display a Ribbon over the top of another colour or colour effect.
  
• Countdown Timer for Pixel Grids. (Includes Countdown Example in File/Sample Shows menu)
  
• Option to Suppress Event Building of Pixel Effects. This allows very long pixel effects  to be created (e.g. 30 Minute Countdown) and can be used to reduce Show Designer memory usage and file size on larger shows. If this feature is used the file must currently be exported to a .shp file for use in the Show Player. Timings of effects using this feature may also not be quite as accurate as they are calculated on the fly in the Show Designer.
  
• Spectrum Analyzer added to WaveForm display (for compatible .wav audio files)
  
• Updated User Manual - The user manual has lagged behind the Software Releases for the last few years. But is now up-to-date and includes all features added for this release. The manual can be found in the File/Help menu.
