BB FlashBack SDK: Base Classes |
FlashBack Movie File Format Versions
Because features have been added to the FlashBack SDK over time, the FlashBack file format (.FBR files) has also changed over SDK versions.
The different versions of the SDK and the FBR file format versions they produce are:
|
SDK Version |
Produces FBR files of version |
|
1.0 |
1.0 |
|
2.0 |
1.4.5 |
|
2.5 (current version) |
2.0 or 1.4.5 - see below |
How to know what version of the SDK you are using:
Navigate to the FlashBack SDK install folder.
Open the version.txt file in that folder - this file holds the SDK version.
FBR Versions used by version 2.5 of the SDK:
FBRecorder saves v1.4.5 FBR files by default, unless FBRecorder::SaveMovieInOldFormat is set to false, in which case it saves v2.0 FBRs.
FBEditor saves v2.0 FBR files by default, but FBMovie::SaveAsUsingFormat can be called to save in v1.4.5 format, although this will mean newer features such as Zoom-Pan objects are removed from the movie.
SDK v1.0 classes cannot open v1.4.5 or v2.0 FBRs
SDK v2.0 classes cannot open v2.0 FBRs
How to know the version of an FBR file:
FBEditor::GetMovieVersion and FBEditor::IsMovieInOldFormat can be used to discover the FBR file format.
FBEditor::IsMovieInOldFormat returns false when the FBR version is 2.0, and true for earlier versions.
