Integration infrastructure improvements

The Shotgun and ftrack Studio production tracking integrations with cineSync are now much improved. cineSync 4.1.13 brings pronounced speed improvements when working with both ftrack Studio and Shotgun.

Searching within Shotgun is far more efficient, especially on high-latency networks, and Shotgun playlists now add to individual groups within the playlist. cineSync 4.1.13 also adds additional logging to Aspera Faspex file transfers.

Cursor fade out

Sometimes the little things make a big difference. In cineSync 4.1.13, other reviewers’ inactive cursors fade out over time.

This new feature proves particularly useful when running sessions with 10-20 collaborators: any cursors that stop moving will eventually disappear, which means increased interface clarity and fewer distractions from the art.

Fixes, refinements, and upgrades!

cineSync 4.1.13 introduces a cluster of improvements to make cineSync easier to use than ever before:

  • Improvements to high-DPI device support on Windows
  • Improved text color in “dark mode” to ensure clarity of all text when using a projector on macOS
  • Fixed: updates to the UI, improving overall performance
  • Fixed: issue preventing saved session files containing certain characters from loading correctly
  • Fixed: fullscreen playlist sometimes displaying incorrectly on Windows
  • Fixed: scroll bar within the chat window
  • Tons of bug fixes and optimizations!

cineSync 4.1.13 is available now via the Cospective website.
