Well, who said begging didn't work? After my news piece from earlier, i got two mails in my mailbox with a couple of news to post.

This first one comes from Nathan of PostMagic fame (whom we've interviewed here). He comes to use with improvements on the new media player and the rendering engine, as well a GUI shaping up. Here's the full monty as usual:

"It has been a while since the last update has been released. During this time, we have been able to flesh out a working implementation of the new media player that plays very well with our rendering engine. Also, initial video playback from the timeline is about 90% complete!

As far as GUI design is concerned, there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and we are getting closer to a final design for version 1.0. From what I have seen, we are going to have an amazing GUI to work with. It will be simple, powerful, and beautiful to look at!

And for the major news - we are currently looking into defining the name for the video editing application. However, we would like your support as well, so visit our name suggestion page and submit those names that you always wished your video editors were named!"

Like the title said, they are looking for a new name. Submissions have already been delivered, raging from... "Gorilla Stomp!" to a less weird one "Media Art". Don't like those and have your own awe inspiring submission? Click here and make yourself heard.
