Revision History:

Version 9.0c
  • Release Date: Oct 28, 2009
  • Enhanced audio event timestretch and pitch shifting with zplane élastique Pro.
  • Added XDCAM EX (MP4) rendering.
  • Added quality setting for MXF compression during capture (lower quality level enables compress during capture on lower-end hardware).
  • Added a Prioritize quality over speed check box to the MainConcept MPEG-2 and Sony MXF Custom Settings dialog.
  • MPEG-2 smart rendering now works across different container formats. You can smart render between identical operating points of XDCAM (MXF), XDCAM EX (MP4), and HDV (M2T).
  • Added support for RED devices and media to the Device Explorer.
  • Incorporated an updated RED SDK. In the new SDK, default decoding properties have changed, and color science has been improved. You may notice variations in decoded images due to these changes.
  • Added support for additional AJA I/O hardware: XENA LHi and Io Express, including HDMI input and output.
  • Added support for BlackMagic Design DeckLink HD Extreme (4:2:2 only).
  • Improved precision for the Record Engage Delay setting when printing to tape from an SDI device to allow fine tuning of auto-edit frame accuracy.
  • Added General Preference for Import stereo as dual mono which allows for working with two-channel audio as dual mono.

    When using this setting, the default panning mode, Add Channels, will increase the level of mono events by 6 dB, which can cause unexpected results in your mix. We recommend using the Film or Balance (0 dB Center) panning mode when using the Import stereo as dual mono setting.

  • A new preference has been added to Preferences > General. Select the AAF Export - Use clip-based audio envelope check box if you want to combine track and event gain envelopes and save them as clip-based gain envelopes in the AAF file. When the check box is cleared, track envelopes are saved as track envelopes, and event envelopes are saved as clip envelopes.

  • Left/Right Arrow keyboard shortcuts have been revised to allow you to use the arrow keys to position the cursor when the track list has focus and to prevent accidental adjustment of track volume or opacity.
    • Press Left/Right arrow to move the cursor left or right one pixel when the timeline or track list has focus (or hold Shift to extend a selection).
    • Press Alt+Left/Right Arrow to move the cursor one frame when the timeline or track list has focus (or hold Shift to extend a selection).
