what’s new

[Michael Hancock]

New buttons to map to your keyboard or button bar that let you select all clips to the Right or Left of your Position Indicator on selected tracks (like FCP), or between In and Out points on selected tracks (which I can’t get to work right).

Some bug fixes.

Support for some format of XDCam (not sure which, I’ve never used XDCam).

Generate a report of your clips and/or sequences. Great if you work offline/online so you can see what clips were used, what effects, etc…

Here’s the Readme. It has more.

Hmm sounds good, especially the ‘select from here’. Shane as an FCP user I bet you like that one.

Will the bug fixes stop it from hanging when quitting on the Mac I wonder?

And would I be mad to upgrade from 3.0 mid project? (I guess I know what you’ll say to that one!)

[Michael Hancock]

Do you have a spare hard drive you can close your current one to?

If you do, clone your drive, boot off the clone to make sure it works, then upgrade. I upgraded as soon as it was released (well, the next morning) and I have about 3 projects going right now with a few more to start in the coming weeks. No issues so far (disclaimer–I’m on a PC, not a Mac).

I’m not sure why you system is hanging when you quit MC. I haven’t heard of that issue. What are your system specs?

Michael.
