This is what the Boinx Macworld Booth looked like just before the show opened. Very professional, don't you think? There is another display on the back of the right hand booth wall. Now, during the show, the booth is packed with visitors. Our guys never have a minute of time to spare.

Made by Grier Dill: a japanese Style fighting film called "Early Winter". Surely not unrated, but with nice sound effects that give it a very intense atmosphere.

Shown at the Macworld booth, the FotoMagico 1.2 beta made it out to the web a bit prematurely today. A web page is going to be available soon.

What's new in FotoMagico 1.2b3?

• Titles support - There can now be text added to a slide.
• Blank Slides - Sometimes you do not want anything on your slides.
• Guidelines - the new guidelines work much better and have audio feedback
• Other improvements include better iTunes support, iPhoto Smart Albums and more.

You can download it via Versiontracker where you can also read more details about the new features.

Paul Gero recommends FotoMagico in a posting to the PhotogForum at ilovephotography.com: "I've been wanting to do more with the slide shows than the simple cross fades of the iPhoto slide shows, so I found, through the recommendation of other photographers, FotoMagico. It's a terrific program that allows you to take your iPhoto libraries and make very cool DVDs that include the effects like you might see in a Ken Burns documentary (pan and zoom across a still image). Very Cool." Thank you, Paul.

On Saturday, the team went scouting for the Boinx booth at Macworld and found out that it has a perfect location: First row, at the intersection of two main isles. Now a lot of work was waiting for the guys to outfit the booth. It looks great with its large displays running a FotoMagico slideshow to attract the showgoers. Maybe I can post a more current picture tomorrow. Sort of a before/after story.

Great rewards await those brave souls who dare to conquer the unknown pitfalls of beta software: iStopMotion 1.8b10 finally adds a technology to sync animation to an existing soundtrack. Check it out. (Requires at least an HR demo license) Please provide feedback.

Boinx Software introduces Mouseposé 1.0. If you are doing demos at Macworld, you should quickly download this gem. It's free but requires a free personal license key. Read the Press Release to find out why you need it and check out the website for more information, download and license key requests. This thing is a "must have" for everyone doing demos at tradeshows, presentations, trainings or those individuals with huge and high resolution displays.
