1.0.0-beta7 (build #100129) - Released 2016-08-16


This update brings you a summerly mix of small but handy improvements in keyboard shortcuts, export functionality and camera media support, as well as some important improvements in stability for Sony α7 media.


We're ramping up for our final release by the end of this month, so as this may be our last beta release we want to thank you all a ton for your support and feedback, it was awesome to have you as beta users!


We love hearing from you!

What's New:

  • We've added handy keyboard shortcuts for switching between the thumbnail view (Cmd-1), the list view (Cmd-2) and the detail view (Cmd-3)
  • The window size and location of the app is properly restored on multi monitor setups
  • Added a keyboard shortcut to edit the metadata of multiple selected items in the thumbnail and list view (Cmd-Shift-M)
  • The detail view now advances to the next item when deleting the current one, improving the workflow when quality checking material sequentially
  • Detect Panasonic P2 media as such resulting in automatic drilldown when inserted, allowing you to see all your material in one list
  • We've added a feature to allow exporting markers from multiple clips into the same Excel sheet. There's also a checkbox to select the previous behavior if you prefer having them in multiple Excel sheets.
  • We do now include title metadata in FCPX exports

Fixes:

  • Fixed: An issue that restored the wrong window size when enlarging the app to cover the whole desktop
  • Fixed: An issue that would prevent the timecode (offset) not to be extracted from Sony α7S XAVCs media
  • Fixed: Prevent a crash when viewing raw image files from Sony α7R Mark II (potentially others as well). They're not correctly supported by some OS X versions and are therefore not viewable

Apologies for pushing out another update so quickly - we discovered a potential crash when checking for the license data at program startup, which needed urgent fixing. We blame the hot weather.
