Boinx Optimizes Fotomagico For 4K Video
15 September 2014
Boinx has released its $99.99 Fotomagico 4.5 with support for 4K video as a free update to existing v4 users. But there's a catch. it requires Mac OS X 10.8 or higher.
"For this release, we optimized FotoMagico for use with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and 10.9 (Mavericks) and prepared for 10.10 (Yosemite)," said Oliver Breidenbach, Boinx Software CEO. "Using modernized functionality of OS X leads to better performance and reliability, as well as reduces complexity, which means fewer bugs. The vast majority of FotoMagico users are already using current OS X versions and will benefit from these updates."

Boinx Joins the 4K Revolution With FotoMagico 4.5
PUCHHEIM, Germany -- 4K is rapidly making inroads in professional video production and Boinx Software is not one to miss the trend. The recently released FotoMagico 4.5, the newest version of the award-winning slide show creation tool from Boinx, is now optimized for the production of 4K video. FotoMagico 4.5 also takes full advantage of modernized OS X features, providing improvements in performance and stability to better facilitate user creativity.
John Woody, filmmaker, professor emeritus at James Madison University and Apple Distinguished Educator, comments on the ability to use 4K in his FotoMagico workflow: "To me, the greatest strength of FotoMagico when using 4K clips and stills is its ability to quickly preview special scaling animations. I use it for both pre-visualization and online production. The software fits my 4K workflow perfectly!"
It's clear that the move to 4K is fast underway, with the number of 4K UHD TV sets shipping in 2014 already far surpassing those shipped in the whole of 2013, according to the NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report.
