We are releasing a new tool to help streamline the QC of multiple files at the same time.

With the Multilingual QC, you will be able to QC multiple files side by side and make the necessary changes.

Open

We have changed the way the “Shot change snap area” field, under Project Settings > Cues, calculates shot changes.

Previously, when setting this field to 12, for example, the in and out-cues would be flagged by the Run checks/Run fixes or automatically snapped if they were 12 or less frames away from a shot change.

With the new development, this will no longer be the case. If the “Shot change snap area” field is set to 12, only in and out-cues 11 or less frames away from the shot change will be flagged or snapped to the shot change.

Please change your presets accordingly, if needed.

It is now possible to scroll the video with the mouse wheel in the timeline.

Go to User configuration > User interface and check the “Use mouse wheel to scroll the video (Zoom in/out will be activated with Ctrl key” option

and choose by how much you want the timeline to be scrolled.

Open

After saving, you can then use your mouse wheel to scroll through the timeline.

Open

It is now possible to drag the timeline with the playhead positioned to center.

Go to User configuration > User interface and check “Lock play-head to center of the timeline”.

Then, press CTRL while dragging the timeline with your mouse.

Open

It is now possible to recut a project using a reference subtitle.

Using this new feature will allow you to recut the entire project based on a specific subtitle.

For example, if you use subtitle 12 as reference to recut a project, subtitle 12 will move to the specified timecode and subtitles 1-11 will recut as well, based on that.

To use this new feature, go to the usual Timecode recut/offset dialog and choose “Entire project”, check “Use reference subtitle” and fill out the subtitle number you want to use as reference.

Open

We now have two new hotkeys that will allow recutting a project to the playhead position while bypassing the usual Recut/Offset dialog.

To use them, set the following hotkeys under Hotkeys > Edit tab:

• Recut all subtitles to playhead position - will recut the entire project (from subtitle 1) to playhead position

• Recut from current subtitle to playhead position - will recut project starting only from the active subtitle

The active subtitle is now highlighted in green in the timeline.

Open

Waveform zoom and timeline zoom level will now be saved automatically.

It is now possible to use the Compare Source and Target feature in the Review Pro tool.

Open

Country selection was removed from the Audio Description synthetic voice settings. Instead of selecting the project language, and then a country in the AD tab to get a specific accent, the user now needs to select the correct language with the country code. E.g. French (Canada) or English (Australia).

Open

We have added two new hotkeys to jump to previous and next subtitles with QC error codes.

• Jump to next subtitle with qc error code

• Jump to previous subtitle with qc error code

You can set these hotkeys to easily navigate subtitles with QC error codes.

QC error codes can be added and found right next to the subtitle index.

Open

Added two hotkeys to jump to the beginning and end of a video:

• Jump to beginning of video

• Jump to end of video
