[Avid-L2] MC, Symphony, Newscutter 6.5.2 / 10.5.2 released

 


6.5.2/10.5.2 installers and updates are available on the avid.com
Download Center ( login and password required) and the Installer will be
located in the Avid Product folders and Avid Editor Patch folder within
the Product List.

Who is Eligible:

The 6.5.2/10.5.2 installers and updates are free for any customers
already on 6.5.x/10.5.x

Update Instructions:
Please make sure to download and read the Patch instructions document
located with the 6.5.2/10.5.2 Update downloads.
Besides fixing a ton of bugs, there are some new features:

Set Source Settings

The editing application allows you to select Set Source Settings for
media that is created with codecs that are not natively supported, for
example, H.264, RED. If your media was created with a codec that is
supported natively, Set Source Settings will not be available. If you
try to select Set Source Settings for a natively supported codec, you
will receive a "Selected clip cannot accept source settings"
message.

In previous releases you were able to select Set Source Settings for
ProRes QuickTime. With this release, ProRes Quicktime has been promoted
to a native codec for increased performance and the ability to
consolidate files. As a result, Set Source Settings is not available for
ProRes QuickTime at this time.

4Changes in Media Composer v6.5.2, Symphony v6.5.2, and NewsCutter
v10.5.2

Excluding Filler when Selecting Multiple Segments

With this release, you can use a modifier key to exclude filler when
selecting multiple segments.

To select segments on enabled tracks using the multiple segment
selection buttons:

1. Move the position indicator to the first or last segment you want to
select. 2. Select Tools > Command Palette, and click the Edit tab. 3. Do
one of the following:

t Click the Select Left button to select segments under the position bar
and all segments to the left.

t Click the Select Right button to select segments under the position
bar and all segments to the right.

t Click the Select In/Out button to select segments intersecting In and
Out marks if both marks are present.

If the Timeline has only an In mark or an Out mark, or no In and Out
marks, the Select In/Out button selects all segments under the position
bar.

Holding the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) while selecting
the Select Left, Select Right, or Select In/Out button will exclude
filler from the selection.

Sequential Files Marker Export Update

(UDevC00174545) Additional options have been added to the Settings when
Exporting as a Graphic. When you select the Sequential Files option in
the Export as Graphic setting, your Avid editing application produces a
series of still images, numbered in sequential timecode order.

When you select Markers Only, images are produced only for those frames
that contain markers.

Two additional options have been added to the Sequential Files option
when Markers Only is selected.

Fixed in Media Composer v6.5.2, Symphony v6.5.2, and NewsCutter v10.5.2

• Topmost Image: When this option is selected, if you have multiple
tracks, and a marker is on a lower track but is obscured by a higher
track clip, the highest available track will be used in the sequential
list over the lower track.

• Use Comments: When this option is selected, the marker comment
will be used as the name for the saved graphic.

Interplay Sphere Support on Macintosh Systems

Interplay Sphere allows you to edit media either stored locally on your
system or stored on an Interplay server back at your production facility
or broadcast station. If your Avid NewsCutter, Media Composer, or
Symphony application runs on a Windows system, you can quickly upload
your content from the field using a Wi-Fi or wireless connection and
check it in to Interplay as you work.

With this release of Media Composer and Symphony, these editing systems
on the Macintosh platform support edit and playback media that is either
local or remote on Interplay Sphere. Remote upload and remote Interplay
check-in are not currently supported on Macintosh systems. See Interplay
Sphere documentation here for more information.
