Release Notes:
Dec 4 ’20, build 1049
– Certain media formats did nor handle (SMPTE) timecodes over 40fps correctly. This also applied to VideoIO capture/output.
– The #rtc naming code produced the record timecode including colons – even for filenames which are illegal characters. The code now produces a frame number similar like #tc and #stc.
– The QuickTime aspect metadata was not always correctly taking the aspect of the timeline into consideration.
– Loading annotations from Assimilate Online Dailies into a project did not continue processing if it could not resolve a reference to a (removed) clip.
– Blackmagic RAW from the Pocket 6k camera did not always load properly due to a bug in the camera that added wrong resolution values in media file.
– Another fix to prevent artifacts when converting REC709 to ACES.
– The (manage) color space on/off setting in the project settings did not produce the correct (initial) display settings for a new project.Dec 4 ’20, build 1049
