Release Notes

Export With Overlay

• New: Export With Overlay improvements. Burn your overlay into an exported video, take the picture from the Primary, Secondary or Tertiary media, and choose what feeds each audio channel.

• New: Export Stills With Overlay, for grabbing overlaid frames.

• Improved: Changing the overlay preset remakes the preview, and the timecode on the overlay follows the media's striped timecode rather than counting from the start of the file.

• Improved: You now choose where the file goes when you press Start Export, and a finished export shows the file in the Finder and closes the window.

Recording and Video

• New: Your live camera can be shown see-through over the Primary, Secondary or Tertiary video; right click on the media to enable/disable.

• Fixed: On macOS, the picture could freeze while the audio and timeline carried on.

Cue List and Tracks

• Fixed: Multi-track view now scrolls its rows when you have more cue types than fit.

Projects and Media

• Fixed: A moved project now finds its media on open, including when the folder name repeats in the path, when the old location no longer exists, and when a folder name contains an apostrophe.

• Fixed: An autosaved project can be moved again, and an older project no longer inherits the previous project's folder location.

• Fixed: Export Bundle now points the exported project at the media inside the bundle.

• Fixed: A relocated file is only attached when its duration matches what the project expects.

• Fixed: Opening a project made by a newer build no longer shows a database error.

Windows

• Fixed: Micro-freezes during playback.

• Fixed: Dropdown lists in Settings could be painted over or swallow your click.

• Improved: Further audio fixes.

Cloud Sync

• Fixed: Cue points brought in by an import now sync to the cloud correctly. This affected MA3, MA2, Hog and the CSV and text importers. Cue points imported on an earlier version are repaired automatically.

Timecode, Art-Net and MIDI

• Fixed: Art-Net timecode sends and receives again if you upgraded from version 1.

• New: Timecode pre-roll now works on the audio engine, and on MTC and Art-Net output.

• Improved: Timecode Out now shows LTC going out on an audio output, and "Disabled" now reads "None".

Cue List

• New: It was too easy to accidentally delete cues on macOS by just pressing backspace. Now delete cues with Cmd+Backspace, behind a confirmation pop-up you can switch off in Settings.

• Fixed: Follow-on CuePoints remember their anchor, and are released to timecode when something is triggered in between. Typed times now map through the track's timecode regions.

• Fixed: Cmd+C, Cmd+X and Cmd+V work again in cuelist cells.

• Fixed: A cue arriving from a teammate no longer throws you out of the cell you are editing.

• Fixed: The countdown to the next cue now shows minutes, no longer wraps at 60 seconds, and switching between seconds and frames takes effect straight away.

Timeline and Playback

• Fixed: Landing outside the A/B region now turns the loop off.

• Fixed: The loop on pause button works on the first track, and the button, the R key, the Settings switch and OSC all stay unified.

• Fixed: The pop-out player now shows the current frame when you open it paused.

Recording

• New: The Recording pane gets a Stop Recorder button, and a switch to start the recorder automatically with your project.

OSC and Console Export

• Fixed: MA3 export stored timecode objects at the absolute time value on tracks with striped timecode regardless of the timecode pool use offset setting.

• Improved: The OSC pane links straight to the OSC API reference documentation.

Media

• Fixed: Long freezes while media was being reprocessed.

Interface

• Improved: The Track Editor window can be resized vertically, and no longer crashes on a track with no name and no media.

• Improved: Cmd+W closes the Settings window, and Edit All Tracks scrolls at a usable speed.

Windows

• Improved: Video playback. Scrubbing and seeking are much more reliable.

• Fixed: Scrolling in Settings no longer tears.

Stability

• Fixed: On a project stored on an external drive of certain formats, tracks and cue points could go missing when saving.

• Fixed: A number of crashes, including CSV export to a file open in another app, a stray file in the Templates folder, MA2 plugin export to a drive root, clicking a cloud sync team member row that has just refreshed, the Media Upgrade window, new project from a template, the Edit track button, and a media relink after closing a project.

New: File > Export Project As CuePoints v1. This saves a standalone copy that version 1 can open, for when you need to hand a show back to someone still on the old version.

Fixed: Closing the OSC window no longer disconnects a live connection.

Fixed: On Windows, the playhead could occasionally jump to the end of the track during playback and stop the playback, with no seek or timecode command involved.

Known issue: Pre-roll is not working.

V2.0 projects onwards can not be opened in V1.x.x versions

Cloud Sync
