CA Fix History
This page contains short notes on changes between versions. Review the list
to determine if any changes affect your use of the program or address issues
you may have had. Consult the User or Reference manual for greater details.
These notes are short and technical.
Version 6.1.8 (9/3/06)
1. Created an Internal version of Background build program (see Options- Build
Settings- Background Building- Run Internal/External). When set to Internal,
the background conversions will STOP when the Casting/Callback Window video
recording button is pressed. The background conversion process will start again
once the talent record is saved. The internal version is identical to the external
version, however, by running it internally the CA program can stop it during
video recording due to prevent possible Audio sync issues.
2. Added an Audio Buffer Setting (default is .05 seconds) within the Casting/Callback Window Video Tab. The value can range between .05 - .5 seconds.
3. Removed Frame Rate from Options and added a box in Casting/Callback Window Video Tab for user defined values (15-29.97)
4. Added Video Capture Dropped Frames information to the bottom of the Casting/Callback Window Data Tab.
5. Created a Video Archiving utility (Utility-Archive Videos) that deletes video AVI files if it finds associated Background (or Sorenson Squeezed) compressed files (QT,ASF, WAV, WMA, or MPG). The process then changes the talent video paths to match the located compressed files.
6. Created a special version of the View that is used to view non-AVI archived
files. The program automatically selects the correct viewer based on the video
file being viewed.
Version 6.1.7 (8/30/06)
1.Fixed bug in Portrait small email print that dropped the last four photos.
2.Added two-photo capability to email output.
3.Made email proofs default to lite footprint (with a High Quality option added).

5.Fixed bug that created a video button in combo web builds when no talent video
existed.
Version 6.1.6 (8/14/06)
Changed 'DVD VOP' to 'DVD Image' in the DVD Builder tool.
Version 6.1.5 (7/29/06)

or AVI DVD prep. output.
2. Added a Play button to the Schedule form (below the data fields).
Version 6.1.2 (6/22/06)

Fixed bug in MOV converting.
2. CA Webtool Enhancements & Fixes
Added Mpg build capability (for compatibility with both PC & Mac's and improved
conversion times).
Set Mpg defaults to 320x240 & Asf defaults to 720x480.
Fixed two picture build bug.

Enhanced the built-in CA Web Builder tool to create mov (Quicktime) video files
and associated modifications to the user interface.
Updated caFTP program to accept parameters from the CA Web Builder window (now
CA can automatically upload builds).
Version 5.3.47 (3/13/06)
1. Modified the Expiration message that appears when the time-limit serial number
is less than 30 days from expiring. Note that serial numbers can now be issued
with a 6mth or 1yr operational limit.
2. Options-Output Settings-Email Font Size command added so that the text under
the photos on email output can be user defined.
Version 5.3.46 (5/31/05)
1. Schedule Window
- Added picture boxes to reflect the photo of the talent highlighted in the
listboxes.
2. Photo Proof Window
- Fixed bug that incorrectly showed the status of the Union & Flag fields.
3 Modified Build Window to take into account the various places the avi files might be (due to Background Building or Sorenson Watch, etc).
4 Added an MOV option to the Background Build program.
5 Fixed bug in the FTP program that caused uploads to fail.
Version 5.3.43 (3/22/05)
1. WebTool Changes - Now called Build Tool (v5.0):
-added Mov build that creates the pages and hooks for externally converted/created
Mov files (matching Sorensen Squeeze software formats).
-added a 'Background ASFs' checkbox that creates the pages and hooks for a previously
background built set of ASF files (see 'Utility Background Builds' below).
-Created a new build for DVD's. This option creates a trailer video for each
talent with 5 seconds of Talent information on the screen (id, name and optionally
Role and Other) and the still picture from the project. Then the actual video
is included in the build folder. Note that Casting video capture should include
the Microsoft MPEG-4 V1, V2 or V3 compressor for the best actual DVD burning
turnaround. During the build the DVD folder contents are monitored and limited
to a user defined maximum length (default is 1hr of video) that is set by the
'Options-Build Settings-Max DVD Length' menu command.
-removed the Indeo and DivX 'Codec' checkboxes since non-Microsoft codecs are
no longer included in the installs.
-changed the layout of the tool.
-updated the template web pages and added Quicktime versions.
2. Created a NEW program called 'Background Builds' that runs minimized to convert the saved project AVI videos in background and then optionally uploads them to an Internet folder. Note that only the created files (ASFs by default) are uploaded and the associated web pages still need to be created (via the Web Tool using the Background checkbox) and then uploaded. Note that the new created videos are built in a new sub-folder called 'BackgroundDone' and the source AVI is moved to a new folder called 'BackgroundMoved'. The CA play buttons will not find the associated video if they have been moved by this utility. At the end of the day you will need to move the source files back to the project video folder for the CA links to be valid. This can be can be done manually or with the 'Utilities-Retrieve Video' menu command. Note that the Web Tool needs the Backgound box checked during an ASF build in order to find the pre-compressed files or it will go ahead and compress them again.
The Background program also has an 'Auto-Upload Converted Files' checkbox. When checked the converted video files (now in an asf format) are automatically uploaded to the user's pre-defined web site. See the new CA FTP program for settings.
3. New 'Utilities-Background Build' command. When checked (icon shows in toolbar) CA fires the Background Builder program after each casting video is created. This independant utility program then does the conversion from AVI to ASF (the default) as an external process. The default video folder (Video Capture Drive+CADATA+Video+project name) is created if it doesn't already exist.
4. New 'Utilities-Retrieve Video' command that moves the CA video files back into the project's video folder if they were moved by either the Background Build to Sorenson Watch processes.
5. New 'Utilities-FTP Transfer' command that opens the new CA FTP program. The program runs externally but the project's video folder is passed when launched by CA. The program's settings are also used by the Background Builder program.
4. Viewer Tool Changes (v5.0):
-Added Full Screen feature.
-Added playback speed options (half, normal, & double).
5. Casting/Callback Capture Window Changes:
-Created a Pause/Record feature. When recording the button now turns into a
Pause button. Pausing freezes the Capture steam as an indicator of paused state.
Press the button again to continue recording or press the Stop to finalize the
capture.
-Added code that sycronizes the video record buttons with the VCR toolbar buttons
and video camera. When the camera is recording the VCR button and Casting are
in a recording state. When the camera recording is stopped the VCR & Casting
window 'Rec' buttons reflect the change (and the PC recording pauses. The PC
will toggle between Record and Pause in sync with the camera. To save the captured
video (and stop the PC recording) simply press the 'Stop/Save' button. Note
that the recording Timelimit checkbox is ignored when in Sync mode.
-Added shortcut 'Sync Control' toggle on the 'Misc' tab to the 'Options-Capture
Settings-Sync VCR Buttons' menu option. This menu command is available if the
'Options-Capture Settings-VCR Toolbar' option is checked.
-Added code to restart the Background Builder if it ran out of things to convert
and 'Utilities-Background Build' is still checked.
-Added a shortcut button to the Misc tab that toggles the 'Utilities-Backgound
Build' menu.
-Added a shortcut button to the Misc tab that toggles the 'Options-Preview Window-Resize
Capture Win' menu command.
-Fixed bug that cut the video or saved it to the next record if user manually
moved to a different record while the program was still copying the scratch
video source (occured when long videos were being saved).
-Fixed bug that caused program to crash if used the Previous button on a new
project database and it was the first time adding records.
-The 'Timelimit' checkbox setting is now saved.
-Moved the 'Union' checkbox from the Statistics tab to the front tab.
-Created a new checkbox called 'Istvan,' which is Polish for Flag. Both the
Union and Istvan checkboxes have been included in the Schedule Window and reflected
in thru the program.
-Made the 'Save Video' message box optional ('Options-Capture Settings-Confirm
Video Save' command.
-Fixed bug that didn't return focus to the Name text box after the video record
button was pressed.
-Changed the 'Auto-Add' functionality. Now it only adds a new record if the
database is at the last record, otherwise the record is saved before moving
on to the next record.
Misc Fixes
Added the Talent's Video path field to the 5th tab of the Search Results window.
New 'Options-Output Settings-Email Image Size-Lite Footprint' menu command (and
shortcut in the Log Window right-click Email button) that creates smaller email
page sizes (for email with limited ISP providers).
New 'Options-Output Settings-B+W Output' menu command that forces email output
to be Black and White (gray scale) rather than in color.
The VCR toolbar bugs that caused it to go out of sync with the camera state
have been fixed. The 'Options-Capture Settings-Sync VCR Buttons' menu option
has also been added to sync the bar to the PC recording state.
