version history for Fast video cataloger

Version Highlights

New Fast Video Cataloger 9

We added a new mode for video transcripts.
We added support for plugins.

New Fast Video Cataloger 8.5

We added a new mode for the video thumbnail where you can edit the text to each thumbnail next to it. Select this mode from the Start menu.
When moving the mouse over the thumbnail in the video catalogwindow, you scrub though the captured thumbnails for the video. Doubleclick to play from that time. This is not accessing the video file so it will still work with disconnected videos.
When hovering over a thumbnail you now get a button to add a thumbnail in between that thumbnail and the previous/next. This should help you to quickly add more thumbnails where it makes sense.

Fast video cataloger can now write meta-data to the metadata section of a video file. This allows keywording you set from inside fast video cataloger to be searchable from Windows.
We have added the option to write a sidecar .nfo file. nfo files are in the Kodi format and allow metadata from Fast video cataloger to be used by other software easier than before

Both of these new optional features are disabled by default, turn them on from the preferences.

New in the 6.1x version

Add your own extended properties to thumbnails, for example, a description.
Create virtual video playlists. A virtual video playlist is a combination of segments from videos in your catalog. This feature has been requested as a way to quickly create drafts for video editing. But I am sure you can find it useful for other reasons as well. We also added API support for it if you are writing scripts.

New in the 6.0x version

We have redone the user interface to make it easier to get started for new users and more efficient for experienced users. We kept all the advanced features from the previous version so you can still save layouts over one or several computer screens.

We now automatically extract metadata from the video file, like how its compressed, video dimension, and so on. Metadata is stored as extended video properties and can be enabled / disabled from the preferences.
