Production

Changes since QuartzCrystal 2.0

• Fixed glitchy/flashing movies when rendering with motion blur enabled (thanks to @songcarver for reporting this)

Known Issues

See the QuartzCrystal 2.0 release notes.

Changes since Art-Net Tools 1.5

• Changed network port settings so that multiple applications using Art-Net Tools can be opened on the same computer at the same time.
• Fixed crash in Art-Net Receiver when a composition is started while there is a large amount of network traffic.
• Added workaround for issue when using Art-Net Sender in Resolume Arena, so that it continues to send messages after stopping and restarting a clip.

Changes since NetworkTools 1.2

• Fixed crash when HTTP Query patch's Body input is connected to the wrong type of port.
• Added Content-Type to the HTTP headers in the request sent by the HTTP Query patch.
• Fixed issue where the HTTP Query patch ignored the URL's fragment.

Changes since Kineme3D 1.8

• Added keyed structure output to the Vertex Structure With Object patch.
• Added keyed structure input to the 3D Object with Vertex Structure patch.
• Fixed crash when running the Mesh Blender patch in Resolume Arena.

Known Issues

• OS 10.8 introduced changes to the OpenGL calls made in QC's Mesh and Sprite patches. In OS 10.8 a Sprite or Mesh Renderer patch rendered in the same scene and directly before a Kineme3D Object may corrupt the Kineme3D object's triangle buffer.

Workarounds:

• If possible, modify the rendering order such that 3D Object Renderer is before the Sprite patch, or not immediately following it.
• Use 3D Plane Generator and 3D Object Renderer in lieu of a Sprite patch.

Changes since VideoTools 2.3

• Fixed crash when using the Blackmagic Capture patch. (Bug reports: 1, 2, 3.)
• Improved quality of the YUV-to-RGB conversion in the Blackmagic Capture patch (eliminated the vertical stripes).
• Added input ports to the Blackmagic Capture patch to select which device and input connection to capture.
• Added more capture formats to the Blackmagic Capture patch: 4k (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30), NTSC-progressive, PAL-progressive.
• Improved error handling in the Blackmagic Capture patch.

Credits

• The Blackmagic Capture patch was commissioned by Stuart White of Control Freak Systems.
• Support for selecting and simultaneously capturing from multiple Blackmagic devices was sponsored by Igloo Vision.

Known Issues

• ProRes 4444 format does not support transparency (so videos are fully opaque)
• H.264 videos stutter when played backwards
• All VideoTools patches provide only video input, not audio input
• Firewire cameras only support certain combinations of Color Coding, Resolution, and Framerate. Watch the Error output and Console log when troubleshooting.
• Due to issues with the underlying frameworks, video device info cannot be queried once a video device is in use. Therefore Video Device Info is only updated once: when the composition is first started.
