In San Diego, there's an annual phenomenon
with the weather, both in May and in June.
The ocean is still very cold and there's a
fog layer that forms over the ocean,
called the marine layer. Often it doesn't
dissipate until into the middle of
afternoon. In May we call it "May Gray".
In June, it's called "June Gloom". It's a
great weather condition for jogging and
running outdoors, and playing soccer. Not
so great for beachgoers.
June Gloom seems to affect more than
tourists heading for the beaches. We also
see an annual cycle of lower sales in
software, in many types of software, not
just Dogwaffle. We see it every year
around that time. People are done spending
their tax returns and holiday gift moneys.
Schools have decided on what to order for
the Fall semesters long ago and are still
sitting tight and waiting for the next
budgets, released in August or September
if they're lucky, when the purchasing of
site licenses starts again. Till then,
it's a bit gloomy, unless you've got some
brand new exciting program release to
announce, or bundle offers with other
software and hardware.
To fight this gloomy condition, and for a
few other reasons, we're going to make it
attractive for you to upgrade to v7 or v8
in coming days and weeks (about through
mid July), i.e. if you're not quite at
those latest versions yet, please read
on.... but before we do, here's a new
image.
We're continuing to develop PD Howler 9 but
since it's still a bit far away from release
we're not able yet to offer free upgrades from
v8 to v9 for those who purchase v8 at full
price. We may start that campaign in mid to
late August.
However, if you've been sitting on the
sidelines, waiting for a good deal, well, your
wait is over and is about to be rewarded. We
are now offering steep discounts to v8 and
also v7.2 of Howler. (in addition to the
already discounted Artist edition)
PD Howler 8 - normal price $99, special
offer: $49 (basically half off!) PD Howler 7 - normal price $69, special
offer: $20 (basically a giveaway)
Speaking of Motion Prediction Module, and
Motion Estimation as an alternative to frame
blending, here's another new long tutorial,
about 50 minutes long and covering various
pieces from A to Z:
This video also shows some interesting tools
to do video conversions.
