CinePlay Changelog

Important: We'll be making changes soon to digitalrebellion.com that will make it so that it's no longer possible to register old versions of CinePlay. Older versions will work if they are already registered, but we recommend new registrations use 1.7.4 or higher.

• Improved registration reliability
• Improved compatibility with newer versions of macOS
• Improved compatibility with newer versions of Kollaborate
• Minor bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

• Fixed an issue where vertically flipping a video would horizontally flop it too
• Performance improvements
• General bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

• Click the media file's duration to toggle between duration and time remaining
• Improved performance of hoverscrub thumbnails
• Fixed an issue where the playhead could jump elsewhere after deleting a marker
• Fixed an issue where the file extension could appear incorrectly in the export dialog
• Fixed an issue where it may not be possible to step to the next frame in some instances
• Minor bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

• Fixed an issue that could cause annotations embedded in exported frames to be misaligned

• M1 Mac and macOS 11 Big Sur compatibility
• UI refresh with better support for Retina Macs
• Hoverscrub thumbnails are now cached, which should improve performance when scrubbing with very large files or slow drives

• Fixed an issue where aspect ratio blanking could have incorrect dimensions on macOS 10.15
