# Processing 4.0 alpha 6
*Revision 1275 – XX July 2021*
*Revision 1275 – 10 July 2021*
Code completion is back! Includes an all new Movie Maker creates MP4s and Animated GIFs! And a new color scheme sure to bring out the cranks!
Code completion is back!
### New Features
* Movie Maker has been rewritten and much improved! It can now directly create high quality MPEG-4 videos and Animated GIFs. Due to Apple [removing support for most video codecs](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202884) after macOS Mojave, we could no longer export QuickTime videos. The new Tool uses [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) behind the scenes. The Tool also supports [Apple ProRes 4444](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202410), which is very high quality, and incidentally, the format that Apple's “QTMovieModernizer” formerly used to re-encode “legacy” video formats.

[#6110](https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/6110)
### Themes
* We've started work on refreshing the design. This round has a new set of colors. If you like them, great! If not, please hold your complaints. The internet doesn't need more negativity! We know some people won't like it, and we're [still working on it](https://twitter.com/ben_fry/status/1409968426093735941). We think you'll be happy with the final version. [#48](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/48)
* In the meantime, if you'd like to customize the colors, instructions are [here](https://github.com/processing/processing4/wiki/Themes).
* Major work underway for improvements to how the visual theme is handled. Stay tuned!
* Add `ui.font.family` and `ui.font.size` as preferences.
* Added support for `0x` numbers to support alpha colors in `theme.txt`.
### Bug Fixes
* Code completion is fixed. Thanks [Sam](https://github.com/sampottinger)! [#177](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/177), [#219](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/219)
* `mouseButton` was not set correctly on `mouseReleased()` with Java2D. [#181](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/181)
* A more useful message for the `NoClassDefError: processing/core/PApplet` startup error on Windows was in the alpha 5 source, but may not have made it into the actual release. [#154](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/154)
* Fix `Module javafx.base not found` on Linux. Thanks [letorbi](https://github.com/letorbi). [#214](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/214), [#215](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/215)
* After selecting a font other than Source Code Pro, font went to a default. [#216](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/216)
* `unregisterMethod()` was broken. [#223](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/223)
* Fixed "No library found for org.w3c.dom" message when using that (built-in) package.
### Changes
* When changing to an incompatible Mode, just open a new window instead of giving the user a potentially confusing error message about it. [#189](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/189)
### API Changes
None of these should break anything, but if they do, please let us know!
* `Editor.applyPreferences()` was `protected`, now it's `public`.
* Removed `Editor.repaintErrorBar()` and `Editor.showConsole()` because they didn't appear to be in use. Holler if this breaks anything.
* Renamed `TextAreaPainter.getCompositionTextpainter()` to `getCompositionTextPainter()`.
### Internal Changes
* Removed `java.class.path` when launching code from inside the PDE. This should prevent conflicts, and avoid introducing problems when using Export to Application.
* Removed compound key actions (which were undocumented and not in use). This clears up a lot of complexity in `DefaultInputHandler`.
* Remove `jdt.compiler.jar` from subprojects.
* Cleaned up lots of dead/unused parts of `javafx/build.xml`.
* Move `ISSUE_TEMPLATE` to the `.github` subfolder.
* Removed extra files from Tools folders for the download.
* Moved doclet to separate repo. Thanks DSI! [#218](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/218), [#222](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/222)
