Specifications

Processing capacity and speed
- support for large AVI files (>1Gb)
- support of MPEG (limited*)
- processing of up to 50 000 frames (was 10 000 frames)
- alignment of up to 500 alignpoints (was 100 alignpoints)
- Maximum final image (4000 x 4000)

Speed
(Tests run on 1.67 Ghz Intel Duo core CPU with 2Gb RAM using Windows Vista)
 

 1000 frame(640x480) uncompressed AVI using 10 Alignpoints (64x64) all frames were used for aligning/optimizing/stacking. The optimizer was set to a search area of 2 pixels and stacking used the fast method.
