🛤️ Back on Track
We really hate when we release a version after so long and we find that we missed a few things 🤦. Thanks to everyone reporting to us. We are finally back on track to a quicker release cycle!
In build 1000, we created a conflict with Quick Jump and Move Clip Time shortcuts. The Quick Jump keys are ignored if Shift, Control, Command or Option keys are down. This fixes an issue reported by 💑 Alyson Annan.
Added a Full Screen button in the Timeline and Composer toolbars. Pressing this button will send the linked movie collection to full screen. Right clicking on the Full icon will allow the setting of the connected screen to present the full screen video. This really helpful when there are 2 or more connected screens. Again, thanks Al 🥰 !!!
With the introduction of the Movie Collection Overlays, there are some behaviours in the Notes overlay that we did not bring across. This build brings those across and with the following options:
- Show Empty Notes On Movies menu item added to Visuals button.
- Show Empty Notes On Movies menu item added to Overlays > Show menu.
- Hide Empty Notes On Movies menu item added to Overlays > Hide menu.
🗒️ Enhanced Note Styling
Default note fonts can stored, applied to existing clips and removed. Holding down Command and right clicking on some selected text in a note editor text box will pop up a menu with the following items:
- Store Default Font Type
- Store Default Font For NOTE TYPE
- Remove Default Font For NOTE TYPE
- Apply Font To All Notes In Selected Clips
- Apply Font To NOTE TYPE In Selected Clips
📹 Capture Movie Collection
When capture is stopped using the Record button, all Markups are set to Edit mode.
Capture movie time is now displayed in the capture collection. The background has been changed to red with white text. It behaves like a movie timer overlay, so opacity and size can be easily changed.
Capture sessions give priority to angle numbers when pairing capture and playback angles.
If the Record button is pressed, and a suitable playback video collection could not be found, capture will not start. The following message is shown: ‘Could not find a suitable Movie Collection to link to capture. Please create a Movie Collection.’
When the Movie icon in an empty pane is clicked on with the Option key held down, a Capture tab is created. This is super handy if you create your own capture Super Tabs.
Capture Collection Overlay arrangement is remembered and applied to New Capture Collections. This overlay arrangement is stored in 'default capture overlays pattern.plist’.
🧼 Minor Cleanups
When the Escape key is pressed, exiting full window mode is given priority over other Escape key operations. This is helpful when using Full Play mode and MarkUp mode is engaged while clip buttons are down. When a clip jumps to play in full window, pressing Escape will exit full window, pressing Escape a second time will cancel all buttons that are down, marking the timeline.
Home Vault and focus vault updated. Vaults with the name 'Home Vault.AVault’ in the user's Movies folder are given priority as the home vault.
Mat Knight, our amazing 🦘 support man, found a spot where we missed changing the word folder to vault in the Content sidebar. Fixed it finally after 6 or so reminders 🤣.
When an Angles JSON timeline is dropped onto a timeline where clips exist, a message is shown asking if the imported clips should be appended after the current playhead location. This allows the appending of multiple timelines in one timeline.
Timelines can be joined without movies, a new menu item called 'Join Timelines Ignoring Movies' has been added in the Files List of the Content Sidebar when multiple timelines are selected. Choosing this option creates just a timeline not linked to a movie.
The procedure to calculate the free space on a volume has been updated. This fixes issues when archiving or sending a standalone composers to some network storage devices. To assist trouble shooting this problem; holding down Option and right clicking on the window name will show four different methods for calculating free space for the volume that the window is stored on.
