The server switch has now been completed, our thanks for your patience and also to MediaTemple for providing the new hosting platform. Along with the new hosting, a complete site rewrite has been rolled out, and although not much may have appeared to change visually behind the scenes lot’s of changes have taken place!

The editor which has been in beta for the last 6months is now fully released (0.172.08) This provides full support of the animation options and motion map in the editor. (Further information about the motion features can be read here Beta editor released - 0.171.27)

User url’s have been slightly modified so if you are linking to your projects or user’s page please update your links. The old linking will continue to work but we will be phasing this out in the months to come. The new style of linking is as follows,

To link to a User’s home page use (Replacing usersName):
http://www.formatpixel.com/user/usersName

Example:
http://www.formatpixel.com/user/Ubikeuropa

To link to a project use (replacing projectID with the number):
http://www.formatpixel.com/project/projectID

Example:
http://www.formatpixel.com/project/5332

On the user side, we have reached over 6400 users and part of the reason for changing the hosting was to handle the new load and provide enough expansion for the years to come.

By the end of March the ‘Export’ function will be back in place also with support for Mac projects! The Export Project function allow’s you to save a project onto your harddisk for buring to CDROM’s, USB sticks and playing them back off line.

Thanks for your patience in the server switch, if you find any bugs or have any comments then drop us a line!!
Happy Publishing
