MovieRecorder Changelog

What's new in MovieRecorder 4.5.9

Apr 16, 2024
  • Release Notes for MovieRecorder and MovieRecorder Express:
  • Sources: Added the ability to choose the number of audio channels retrieved from the AJA, Blackmagic-Design or Deltacast card (Currently only available for Video Device Audio, not for external audio)
  • NDI: Updated NDI SDK to 5.6.0 - r135583 (NDI 6 is available in MovieRecorder pre-release 4.6)
  • Logs: Optimised performances when displaying a large number of logs in the Activity & Logs window
  • AJA: Updated AJA SDK to v17.0
  • AJA: Added support for AJA Kona X
  • Softron Streaming Pack: Issue when doing streams longer than, 12 hours, there could be a short interrupt of the signal every 12 hours.
  • Custom Naming: When using the timecode token in a custom naming, if it was a DF TC, the ";" was not replaced by a "-"
  • SD: Some possible preview issues when using SD sources. It would change from 4:3 to 16:9 very fast.
  • Scheduler Web UI: Fixed issues on Daylight Savings Time days: scheduled recordings could show with an offset of one hour.
  • Release Notes for MovieRecorder only:
  • Logs: Added logging of more SCTE104 messages
  • Destinations: Added support for Apple ProRes in MXF destinations
  • Metadata: Potential crash when adding Metadata fields in "Settings > Metadata"; in macOS 12 and earlier
  • Growing Files: Growing MXF AVC-Intra files are now working with Adobe Premiere

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.8 (Nov 27, 2023)

  • AVPresets: Added the ability to disable the audio track language setting. This could be annoying when used in Final Cut Pro as it would only select (and play) one of the tracks, even if all tracks are the same language. This was introduced since MovieRecorder 4.5.2 when we added the support for langages. The option is on by default to keep compatibility with older versions, so make sure to disable it if you don't need it.
  • ProRes Proxy: Encoding is not done anymore in progressive, but as interlaced, so it is easier to relink to higher resolution. Should quality be an issue for you, create an AVPreset and choose to deinterlace.
  • Preview: UI issue in Sonoma when using interlaced formats.
  • Potential crash in macOS 11 (Big Sur) and earlier.
  • WebUI: VU meters could be out of sync.

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.7 (Sep 29, 2023)

  • AVC Intra: Issues when encoding to AVC Intra

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.6 (Sep 23, 2023)

  • Activity & Logs Window: Remaining disk space when using local storage is now more accurate
  • NDI: Added the ability to select "Embedded Timecode" as timecode source
  • NDI: Now using SDK version 5.5.4
  • ProRes: Bitrates for ProRes 4444 was too high (if you were using this codec before, make sure to test, check "Activity & Logs" window for any error about frame size and report to us)
  • Deltacast cards: Issues in SD NTSC: 8bit was not supported, and some potential issues with audio
  • UI: VU meters could be displayed in the wrong order

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.5 (Jun 2, 2023)

  • General performance and stability improvements
  • Potential crash at startup (when using 2 VU meters display)
  • Contact Support: Log collect was not working when time was set to AM/PM

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.4 (May 15, 2023)

  • Blackmagic-Design: Added support for up to 64 audio channels (with supported devices).
  • Viewers: Added the ability to view up to 64 audio channels VU meters (with supported devices).

  • Release Notes for MovieRecorder Express and MovieRecorder:
  • NDI: Updated NDI SDK to version 5.5.3

  • UI: Minor UI improvements (Wider token areas in custom naming, ...)
  • Remote Control: Issue with the embedded control web page when using http://127.0.0.1:8080. It did not return the index.html page. It is now fixed, but note that with previous versions, it was possible overcome by using instead http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
  • NDI: The pixel format popup menu now updates correctly depending on the incoming format (this was just a UI display issue, the recorded file should have been correct in previous version)
  • UI: Issues with remaining time not shown when starting recording using REST API and specifying the record duration.
  • UI: Remaining time vs elapsed time swap when clicking on elapsed/remainingTimeTextField
  • Remote Control: Issues when locking/unlocking sources in remote. It was not working on multiple sources at once.
  • Possible issue when using multiple destinations. This could happen: "Error: An unknown error (-11800 The operation could not be completed, underlying error -16364 The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -16364.)) occured. As a result, the destination will stop."
  • Release Notes for MovieRecorder only:
  • Videohub Control: Added the "directly" method in AppleScript

  • Viewers: Issues with the "selected" blue outline on viewers that were recording. Sometimes only the red "recording" status was shown, but not the blue "selected" one.

New in MovieRecorder 4.5.1 (Jan 18, 2023)

  • Release Notes for MovieRecorder Express and MovieRecorder:
  • AJA devices: Memory leak when receiving RP188 timecode with AJA sources

  • Viewers: Preview was not deinterlaced anymore since version 4.5
  • UI: Fixed minor alignments issues
  • NDI Sources: The "Variable frame rate" options was not always "clickable"
  • Quicktime Classic Destinations: When recording to ProRes to a Classic destination, on computers with hardware acceleration (M1 Max or Ultra for example), some encoded frames could be too large to be saved in the file. This change increases the datarate of some ProRes flavours and formats
  • Release notes for MovieRecorder only:
  • We don't provide a "Intel" version anymore as we now support most codecs that were supported previously. Only the DV codecs will not be ported as the third-party library used will not be ported to Silicon.

  • Release notes for MovieRecorder only:
  • We don't provide a "Intel" version anymore as we now support most codecs that were supported previously. Only the DV codecs will not be ported as the third-party library used will not be ported to Silicon.
  • AVID DNx: Added native support for DNxHD and DNxHR with Apple Silicon computers. You don't have to start the application with Rosetta anymore. This should bring improved performances on M1 and M2 computers when running natively
  • Scheduled Recordings: Added a webpage to view and edit the scheduled recordings. The page can be viewed at this url (change the IP address if not on the same computer - and make sure to enable "Remote Control" in the General preferences of MovieRecorder): http://127.0.0.1:8080/schedule/index.html
  • Actions: Changed the name of the AppleScript menus to reflect more what is happening (instead of before start, it now says on start as the AppleScript is triggered when the recording starts/ends)
  • Actions: The 'Action on error' popup menu in "Preferences > General" is now properly saved
  • Metadata: Issues when importing metadata from another computer
  • Multi-Destinations: When using multiple destinations one one source using H264 or HEVC we did not reuse the encoder, even if AVPreset was the same, and thus reencoded multiple times.

  • When receiving a SCTE trigger, we now log it. Making it a nice signal analyzer.
  • Added the ability to control a Blackmagic-Design Videohub or Ross video router using AppleScripts . Read more...

  • Added notifications when a "Critical Error" would happen.
  • Added support of bundled licenses (one serial can contain the license for multiple channels)
  • Added the ability to disable the capture of VANC (and CC) on a per source base. Previously you could decide not to write a CC track in the file, but the VANC were always interpreted from the source, which could lead to issues in some very specific cases (when the signal providing the signal would enter wrong VANC or VBI data for example).
  • Updated to latest versions of the Deltacast and AJA SDK.
