New GUI features for Nucoda and Phoenix
Keyboard shortcuts added for making tracks larger and smaller
● Using Alt+Up or Down arrows will make timeline tracks larger and smaller Record time splice After selecting one or multiple clips - pressing Alt+B will splice the clips to the selected track but will splice the clips based on their in code. This way it is easy to paste VFX clips where they belong based on their start timecode.
● This mode always overwrites In and out points are respected when splicing:
● If both in and out are set and the material falls inside the range it will be spliced
● If the in or out points are shorter that the source, but in a valid timecode range, the source clip will be trimmed and pasted between the in and out points.

● If the in and out points are not in a valid range an error dialog will be shown.
Progress bar for XML and AAF imports When importing AAF or XML files there will now be a progress bar while importing, import functions can also be cancelled using the cancel button on the progress bar. Improvement when moving multiple clips on the timeline Moving many clips on the timeline is now much faster.

LUT exports

Using the export LUT menu, users can now export both a LUT and an Inverse LUT. This is particularly useful for restoration workflows where a LUT is applied during the restoration work, but the LUT need to be removed afterwards.

● Only 1D LUT’s are supported - no colour transforms

● The Inverse LUT function will only be available if the 3D LUT option is deselected

● v2 CMS and HDR is supported for export - for V2 files the range is restricted between 0 and 1

● No negative values are supported

● If an invalid Master Curve is used the export will report an error.

● Remember to specify the layer to be exported

ACES 1.0.2 New Look Management Transform

● A new LMT has been added to the CMS/ACES 1.0.2/LMT folder

● LMT.Academy.ChromaFix.1.0.2.cms

● It is to be used as a LUT in an ACEScc project, ensure that the “Apply in Linear ACES” button is selected when using this LMT.

● It is designed to mitigate an issue with certain cameras that seem to generate colour values that are not correctly rendered in an ACES project. This can include blues and cyans, reds.

● Older ACES version LMT’s have been updated. For those of you grading in ACES regularly, we have a beta version of ACES with ACEScct colour space available.
