just:in v3.5 Release Notes

Just In 3.5.0.GM.828 Release Notes

This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Switched the Inspector locked/unlocked icons to be consistent with the macOS system lock icon.
Unlocking the Inspector no longer causes the channel previews to freeze.
Fixed a bug that could cause a channel's recording button to get "stuck" on "split recording" after unlocking the Inspector.
Fixed an issue that could lead to the Inspector controls being incorrectly "locked for recording" or "unlocked" after changing the selected channels.
Fixed a crash in just:in mac when recording to an AVFoundation container on a non-mounted volume.
When recording to an AVFoundation container, write errors (e.g. disk full) now result in the recording being stopped and an error displayed in the user interface. Previously the recording continued "silently", although nothing more was actually being recorded.
When a channel is stopped (disabled) and restarted without a signal attahed, the user interface now shows "No Signal" instead of "No Connection".

Just In 3.5.0.B1.827 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Most controls in the Inspector are now correctly "locked" again while recording.
When splitting, joining, connecting or disconnecting channels, the current layout is saved automatically. This prevents loss of the current layout and settings should just:in multi quit unexpectedly.
The channel previews no longer freeze when unlocking the just:in linux configuration panel.
All "action buttons" (e.g. split record) now have the correct sizes regardless of the size of the channel preview.
The channel status "NO CONNECTION" now takes precedence over "NO SIGNAL", meaning that disconnecting a channel that currently has no signal will display the correct status.
In just:in mac's preferences, it is no longer possible to disable the "fallback frames" preference. Additionally, the value must be between 50 and 200 frames.
Fixed an issue that caused MXF recording to stop unexpectedly on certain storage systems.
It is now possible to custom H.264 presets for just:in linux with 4:3 aspect ratio and 4, 8 and 16 audio channels when recording to MOV.
Resolved crashes in just:in multi related to channels with lost signals.
Resolved an issue in just:in multi that could cause channel previews to stutter or freeze when other channels lost their signals.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.826 Release Notes

This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Fixed a bug where activating the "burnt-in timecode" option for an existing capture preset in the just:in linux configuration panel resulted in the preset being incorrectly saved (changed TV norm, resolution, audio alignment).

Just In 3.5.0.B1.825 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
When creating a new live:cut project with a blank (no) template and selecting an ATEM switcher as the input, the device is now properly connected after entering a valid IP address without requiring a restart of just:in multi.
When in a live:cut session, the active channel now has the selected border (and the recording border when recording).
When selecting an "ignored" source (e.g. from an ATEM switcher or ServiceUSB device), the input is now correctly ignored.
Fixed a bug where the "required source on start-up" for an ATEM switcher was selected even if the switcher already had a valid input selected.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.824 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
When chunking files, the separator specified in the current naming convention is used when adding the chunk index instead of always using a space between the filename and chunk index.
Fixed several issues that could cause live:cut EDL recording to behave unexpectedly after transitioning to certain internal or ignored sources.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.823 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
When switching just:in multi's window to full-screen, the full size of the screen is used. Previously for screens with an aspect ratio other than 16:9 some space was unused.
It is no longer possible to enter "quicklook" on a channel while dragging it.
Fixed a bug that meant that a channel's "action" button was sometimes displayed incorrectly.
Resolved a crash related to editing a field in the inspector (e.g. filename) and then selecting another channel without first pressing "enter" to confirm the filename.
Fixed a crash related to showing a pop-up menu in the inspector (e.g. capture preset) and then selecting another channel without first selecting one of the items in the menu.
When recordings are chunked, the next chunk's filename uses the "separator character" from the current naming convention when appending the chunk index. For example, with a naming convention with the separator set to "_" and a filename "movie.mov", the second chunk will be named "movie_2.mov" and not "movie 2.mov".

Just In 3.5.0.B1.822 Release Notes

This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
When using an ATEM switcher with live:cut, please install the latest 7.5 software (currently 7.5.2).
When using an ATEM switcher with live:cut, any inputs marked as "ignore" are now correctly ignored instead of being recorded in the EDL with the number 17, which in turn was leading to unexpected behaviour.
When using an ATEM switcher with live:cut, any "non-external" inputs (e.g. Black, media players, keyers) are now filtered out and ignored. Previously such inputs were leading to unexpected behaviour.
Removed the legacy "auto import" option for Final Cut in live:cut's project settings.
While in a live:cut session, all live:cut channels now correctly hide their "action" buttons.
For long scheduled events a correct error message is now displayed in the inspector.
After a batch job is successfully completed, "Batch complete" is now displayed in the inspector instead of "Batch aborted".
Fixed an issue where scheduled events were not recorded if the system was set to use 12h times instead of 24h (and the times were displayed incorrectly in the inspector).

Just In 3.5.0.B1.821 Release Notes

This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
There are new options to configure the size and positioning of the burnt-in timecode for just:in linux capture presets.
The "System" tab in the just:in linux configuration panel has been slighly reorganised with menus for "Save", "Restart" and "Reset & Restore" actions. In addition, it is now possible to save the current just:connect configuration (all channels, presets etc.) using the "Save" menu and then restore it later using the "Reset & Restore" menu.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.819 Release Notes

This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Fixed visual issues when running on macOS 10.14 Mojave.
Fixed a bug that lead to a corrupt timecode display when displaying very small timecodes in the preview.
When changing the timecode type the "action button" is not displayed for a channel with no current action available. Previously an incorrect action (e.g. connect or record) was displayed for a channel even if this action was not currently available.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.818 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.5 license code, invalidating any older 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.

Updated the links to the online documentation for version 3.5.
It is now not possible to enter a value smaller than 4MB for the file buffer size on the just:in linux configuration panel.
Fixed a bug specific to just:in linux channels after a live:cut session is closed. Now the channel's are properly restored to the previous state including the current filename, so recording a channel after a live:cut session will no longer use the "live:cut naming convention".

Just In 3.5.0.B1.815 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0 or 2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Clicking on a channel's "toolbar" to cycle between channel name, channel IP:port and filename is now multi-selection aware, so all selected channels will show the same information.
When a live:cut session is closed, the channel's are properly restored to the previous state including the current filename, so recording a channel after a live:cut session will no longer use the "live:cut naming convention".
In the inspector's error group, the "time" column is now slighly wider to prevent times being unreadable when the system is set to use AM/PM time formatting.
The minimum MXF buffer size for just:in mac channels is now 4MB (4,194,304 bytes).
When the engine frame-rate is changed, the timecode fields in the channel settings are now properly set to the correct frame-rate, preventing invalid time-codes from being allowed.
The "Confirm Stop Recording" preference in just:in multi is now also used in scheduled recording mode, so when disabled a single click on the record button is enough to stop recording the current event.
In the channel connection window it is now possible to sort the channel name or platform columns in either ascending or descending order by clicking on the table headers.
For live:cut projects there is a new "custom export settings" table in the project settings window. This can be useful for specifying additional options when exporting to Adobe Premiere Pro.
Fixed a bug in live:cut where the exported Final Cut Pro X sequence was 24p instead of 23.976p under certain circumstances.
just:in mac channels no longer set the "drop-frame timecode" flag in the timecode track when writing MOV files at 23.976 fps.
There is a new "Burnt-in timecode" option for just:in linux capture presets. Selecting this option will burn-in the selected timecode in the encoded file.
There is a new "File Buffer Size" option for just:in linux channels. This can be used to optimise writing for certain storage systems. Please take care changing this setting and thoroughly test on your storage after changing.
Fixed a bug that sometimes resulted in the preview remaining "frozen" after a signal loss instead of being reset to a black frame.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.812 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Beta pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0 or 2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
Fixed a bug where connecting to a channel that was recording resulted in the red "recording" outline being missing from the channel's preview.
Resolved an issue that could result in a "corrupted" inspector view after deselecting a channel's capture preset, selecting another channel and then re-selecting the channel without a capture preset.
The "continue writing on signal loss" checkbox in the just:in linux channel configuration has been replaced with a drop-down menu including a new "New recording" option. Selecting this option will stop the current recording when the signal is lost, and then automatically start a new recording when the signal comes back. Note that this option is disabled when the "restart channel after signal toggle" option is selected.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.811 Release Notes

It is no longer possible to deactivate (stop) a just:in linux channel while it is recording. You must first stop the channel recording and then deactivate it in the configuration panel.
The Closed Caption status is now displayed correctly for just:in linux channels in just:in multi.
When disconnecting a channel, any status text (e.g. "NO PRESET") is now correctly removed from the channel preview.
Added a new warning when creating a new live:cut project with channels that have stereo capture presets. This is due to issues importing a stereo sequence into the editors, particularly into Premiere Pro CC.
After closing a live:cut project and then starting a new "normal" crash recording in just:in multi, the elasped recording time is now displayed correctly rather than relative to the starting timecode of the live:cut project.

Just In 3.5.0.B1.808 Release Notes

When changing just:in linux channel settings (e.g. preview quality or size) and then selecting another channel without activating the channel first, the settings are preserved instead of being discarded.
When creating new just:in linux channels with AJA selected as the input, the "Restart channel if not recording" on signal loss setting is automatically enabled, and it is no longer possible to disable it. This is required to ensure that channel and preview remain synchronised after a signal loss.
Fixed a crash when more than one just:in linux device is active in the configuration panel and the currently active device is changed.
Resolved a bug where activating a just:in linux channel by clicking the activation checkbox without first selecting the channel was updating the activated channel with the selected channel's settings, causing unexpected behaviour and conflicts (e.g. duplicate ports).
The live:cut interface has been updated to match the interface changes in 3.5. As a consequence it is now possible to close and open the live:cut inspector during a live:cut session just as it is possible to close the inspector when inspecting channels.
The live:cut project's file extension is now automatically set on start-up to MOV or MXF depending on the capture presets selected for the selected channels.

Capture and destination presets are now sorted alphabetically in just:in mac's preferences panel.
When splitting a channel in the user interface, the split animation has been fixed.
In addition to the options to create a new container or continue writing to the same container on signal loss, just:in mac now has a third option to simply stop recording.
There is a new option in just:in mac to restart the channel after the signal is lost and it comes back, but only if the channel is not currently recording. This can help resolve some issues related to the signal being lost and/or switched.

Changed the spacing on the ":" between destination preset and label.
Added an additional "PATH COLLISION" status text when just:in mac detects that two or more recordings would be written to the same destination with the same name.
Added a "Settings" label at the top of the inspector when opened.
Updated colour scheme.

All channel errors are now cleared automatically when either starting a new recording or splitting the current recording.
The text shown in the channel's toolbar and top bar is now slightly smaller at any given size.
When a channel is disconnected the status shown is now "NO CONNECTION" instead of "CONNECTION".
The destination preset name and prefix order have been swapped so that the destination preset name is shown first followed by "Destination" or "D".
The destination and capture preset status text fields in the channel's top bar are now limited to 50% of the available space, and now truncated with a "..." in the middle rather than the start for longer preset names.
If more that one capture preset is active, the destination and capture preset status text fields in the channel's top bar now display "Multiple".
The "NO PRESET" status is now correctly cleared once all presets are properly set, or after removing presets.
After selecting an invalid capture preset (e.g. XDCAM with a 10-bit input) and then selecting a valid capture preset, any errors related to the invalid capture preset are automatically cleared.

Fixed a bug that could lead to incorrect scheduled events being displayed in the inspector (e.g. scheduled events from other channels than the currently selected channel).

Fixed a bug that could lead to incorrect batch jobs being displayed in the inspector (e.g. batch jobs from other channels than the currently selected channel).
When the channel's toolbar is switched to show the current filename and the channel is in scheduled mode, the toolbar now displays either the name of the currently recording scheduled event, or "No schedule event" if the channel isn't currently recording.

Just In 3.5.0.A1.800 Release Notes

This is a 3.5.0 Alpha pre-release.
This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0 or 2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for an older version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.

Please note that this build is not compatible with just:in Linux. If you are using just:in Linux, please use version 3.0.0.B1.750.

The layout of the channel previews has been redesigned:

The "bottom" bar with the channel's name and buttons to select timecode and recording mode has been moved "outside" of the video preview so that it no longer overlaps the video. Previously the bottom bar was hiding the lower part of the channel's video.
A second "top" bar has been added above the channel's video preview and displays the currently selected capture and destination presets. This bar is not shown for the smallest preview (64 channel view).
Instead of a single "state" outline that fades between blue for selected and red for recording, there are now two separate outlines. The blue selected outline is around the entire preview area (including the top and bottom bars), while the red recording outline is only around the video preview.
The top and bottom bars scale according to the size of the channel preview.

A new channel status text label is shown over the channel's video preview under the following circumstances:

"NO SIGNAL" is shown if the channel has no signal.
"CONNECTION" is shown if the channel isn't connected (e.g. engine isn't running).
"IS USE" is shown if the channel is currently in use by someone else.
"NO PRESET" is shown if the channel isn't fully configured (e.g. no capture or destination preset selected).
"RECORDING" is shown if the channel is currently recording.
"ERRORS" is shown is the channel has errors.

In addition, the channel status text label will also show the current engine buffer status if the buffer is full.
Errors have been moved from within the channel preview to the inspector in the "Errors" group. Here individual errors can be dismissed once read, or all errors can be cleared using the button at the top of the group. If a channel has errors, either "ERRORS" will be overlayed, or if the channel is currently recording warning icons are displayed next to the "RECORDING" overlay. The error messages have been significantly reduced in length to make them more understandable.
If an engine is started without a naming convention selected, the first available naming convention is now automatically selected.
Fixed a bug where changing the "Inpoint"/"Outpoint"/"Duration" table column in the batch inspector group would always revert to "Inpoint" when moving the mouse outside of the column title.
Resolved a crash after clicking any timecode field in the batch inspector group and then any other control in the inspector.
Fixed an issue where selecting an "invalid" capture preset (e.g. XDCAM when the channel's input is 10-bit) resulted in the inspector showing the invalid preset as selected although it wasn't.
Several options have been removed from just:in Multi's preferences due to the redesign.
Reduced the size of the "action" buttons in the channel preview slightly.
Updated the look of the "action" buttons in the channel preview.
The "settings" action button to show or close the inspector has been removed from the channel preview and instead is shown at the top-right corner of just:in Multi's window. Clicking this button will reveal the inspector for the currently selected channel, clicking again will close the inspector.
The "VTR control" buttons used to control a video device for batch recording have been moved from the channel preview to the batch inspector group.
Fixed a bug where starting a batch recording with either no batch jobs or no VTR control on the given channel resulted in the record button being permanently disabled, requiring a restart of just:in Multi.
