Release Notes:

  1. Bug 4981 | ZEPLAY can lock to LTC timecode

  2. Bug 5197 | Improve Tbar Latch Mode

    • The Tbar Latch mode now works correctly when changing controlled angles, and in a variety of other conditions.

  3. Bug 5266 | 'aesebu' should be 'AES/EBU'

    • ZEPLAY now represents AES/EBU in the user interface using the industry-standard casing and style.

  4. Bug 5314 | Record button should say "Record" when it's not recording, "Recording" when it is.

    • ZEPLAY's record button now makes a little more sense. If recording is stopped, the button will now say "Record", which should help to prevent some confusion.

  5. Bug 5965 | Remaining time in a sequence doesn't take transitions into account

    • The time remaining in a sequence now correctly includes the transition length as well as the playback rates of all items.

  6. Bug 6288 | ZEPLAY now uses version 4.0 of the Microsoft .Net framework

    • The Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 Redistributable is required, the installer verifies that it is installed.

  7. Bug 6398 | Resizing the Plays window can cause some of its buttons to be hidden

    • Increased the minimum size of the Plays window, it's no longer possible to make some of the buttons disappear.

  8. Bug 6503 | TrimInPointUp and TrimOutPointDown macro actions can cause a play's length to become negative

    • Resolved an issue in the validation code that was allowing plays lengths to decrease to zero frames, and beyond!

  9. Bug 6565 | User is able to resize Storyboard and Playbar windows

    • We enabled resizing of the Playbar and Storyboard windows. They can be adjusted width-wise to your heart’s content. There is a small amount of height adjustment for the Playbar as well.

  10. Bug 6578 | Demo Mode should be a button instead of a checkbox

    • Demo mode is now started by clicking the [Start] button, which makes more sense.

    • ZEPLAY is now able to Archive to Apple ProRes422 (LT).

  12. Bug 6652 | Progress bar in Export window does not go all the way to the end when Archiving

    • Fixed an annoying issue that caused the Export windows progress bar to go most of the way to the end, but not quite finish.

  13. Bug 6653 | Export window "stalls" for a few seconds between each item while Archiving

    • Optimized the Archiving code to eliminate an unneeded pause between items. This greatly reduces the time required to archive multiple clips.

  20. Bug 6968 | ZEPLAY now supports 4 channels of audio
