formatpixel - blog

Every now and then we pull off reports from the database to Ooo and Arrr over numbers and see what’s happening, making sure things are ticking over nicely.

Just to let you know a little about the community, to date there are over 9300 formatpixel users who between them have created over 9100 projects and 7300 of them are currently active! The image servers currently holds just over 10,500 bit’s of media and over the last 6 months has served up 979,135 bit’s of media for viewers of formatpixel projects.

We are still seeing a gradual increase from month to month which is encouraging.

And in case your wondering what we are up to, well apart from sitting around drinking tea and dunking biscuits, we are hard at word building the next version for formatpixel. It’s going to be a complete rethink and rewrite. We are taking on board all the comments and feedback we have had and hope to create something a little bit special …

Happy publishing

Ooo, we’ve never entered an award before, but here’s a ‘nominated for’ which has a rather nice widget. If you feel like it we would appreciate a nomation. Be sure to use a valid email address as they use it to confirm the vote! Thanking you greatly

We have just updated the editor and player (0.173.03) to load transparent PNG’s correctly! They will now display with their transparent settings in tact. (Thanks to eblurb for pointing it out!!)

This fix has been rolled out across online and offline players.

Apologies for the delay in this fix!

The export project function has been put back and made live for all account holders with packages greater than Vanilla, along with Mac support.

Once you have downloaded the created ZIP file to your desktop, PC users double click the ‘fpplayer_pc.exe’ icon to begin your project. Mac users, extract the ‘fpplayer_mac.hqx’ file and then run the extracted projector file.

You can copy the projects onto CDROM’s or other devices for offline playback. Please note that off line project’s do not support YouTube videos and are ignored in projects.
