So how is 10.4.4 working for you?

[Oliver Peters]

I have not tested this feature out personally yet, but an interesting thing struck me in watching some of the videos. A frequent client request is to get full resolution frame grabs from a sequence (project). There is now an easy way to do this with the comparison view. Simply grab the frames as you go. In the library package there’s a “_snapshots” folder with full-res TIFFs. Now copy or move them out of the folder, rename and convert as needed, and voila, screenshots for the client. Apparently there’s a 30-image limit, so if you need to pull more than 30, you’ll simply have to do this 30 images at a time.

Have just played a bit with it so far. Does it feel like Motion integration is coming soon?

Hopefully this is the right thread to mention a couple of bugs that are annoying me.

First, the colour choice palette. I used to have some often used colours laid out a ceratin way in the the little palette boxes. Now, colours shift along (a bit like the primary timeline), so they all fill up from the start. It’s only a small issue, but I was really used to picking a particular orange in the bottom right box, and now it’s mixed in with similar colours, having moved.

Second, and much more annoying – on export, once I’ve filled in a title, description and tags for my default 1080 export of a project, if I tweak the edit and re-export, I used to have all that stuff still filled in. Since upgrading to 10.4.4 (I skipped a couple of upgrades, so this may have happened in an earlier version too), I find that after my tweaks, when I go to export, it’s gone back to the project name (rather than my chosen export name), and the tags and description are the default stuff. This is a real pain as sometimes I fill in a decent lengthy description ready for posting etc. Now I have to keep anything I create as a separate text file.

Is anybody else recognising these issues?

On the plus side, am loving the comparison viewer, yes.

I haven’t updated due to workload.

I have this bug that drives me crazy.
When selecting a clip in the PROGRAM (timeline, using a dual screen), once I travel to the INSPECTOR, the selected item defaults to the item selected in the LIBRARY.
This happens once I click on an attribute/tab.
I tried double-clicking and still, this is persistent,
Happens almost everytime.
One of those bugs I forget to bitch about 😛

If you select your project in the browser, go to the Share tab of the inspector, and make your edits there, they should remain persistent. I had to break myself of the habit of changing things in the first pane of the Export dialog, because version numbers and edit-specific notes would persist through subsequent revisions and I’d sometimes forget to change them again.

10.4.4 has been good here. I would like to see the ability to drag and drop key word names in the event browser into an order I determine as opposed to the default ( and only sorting method).

I’m liking the workflow enhancements – Frame IO and Simon Says so far.

Thanks Doug. I’d forgotten all about the share/info page, and that sorts out the issue perfectly. I don’t know the reasoning behind Apple changing the export dialogue page so it no longer keeps info, but I can see from what you say that it’s good to have both possibilities depending on your workflow, so thanks for clarifying the current difference.
