Update: ftrack CineSync v5.2.1 – Small but important improvements added

This update to CineSync adds small but important improvements including greater accessibility and control, a digital color meter, and more.

What’s new in CineSync 5.2.1?

A new update to cineSync is now available: cineSync 5.2.1

This latest update includes features enabling users greater accessibility and control to edit their work through custom keyboard shortcuts, a digital color meter and eyedropper color picker for annotations and duplicating/ applying color settings to multiple assets.

New color picker for annotations

We’ve updated our color picker, and added a new eye dropper, so you can select any color from the image being reviewed – allowing you to easily sketch out modifications to existing elements on the screen.

Copy/paste and “Apply All” for Colour Grading

If you make a change to the color grade of a specific file in cineSync 5, you can now choose to apply that change to all files in the playlist, or you can copy the settings and apply to specific files in the playlist – so for instance, when reviewing a sequence, it’s now a simple process to apply the same change to all shots in the sequence.

Digital Color Meter

From time to time, users need to be able to verify the color they’re seeing on screen matches the color of the source file. Here we’ve introduced a digital color meter which allows a user to verify exact color values for any pixel in the image. Being able to verify exact color values, and to check color accuracy is a fundamentally useful feature – it provides absolute confidence that the media you’re reviewing is presented accurately.

Customizable keyboard shortcuts

You now have the option to update shortcuts (or “hot keys”) – being able to customize hotkeys in cineSync gives users the ability to set the hotkeys to what they would expect out of habit, to remove any friction when switching between tools. A few shortcuts are so universal they can’t be modified – like the space bar, or j,k and l for transport controls, but most can be updated based on preference, via the Preferences menu.

cineSync 5.2.1 is available as a free upgrade for all Pro users. If you have a cineSync Pro account sign up on 5.cinesync.com/onboard/ to register your details.
