Linux x86_64 AppImage.
New
- A banner above the matrix shows when a newer release, a rollback or a retraction applies to your version. On trial output it also offers an early-user discount by email. Dismiss hides it for the session.
- Looping clips play through the loop point without holding the last frame.
- Library thumbnails are 320×180, up from 160×90. Cached thumbnails regenerate once.
- SHORT GOP and PREP RECOMMENDED labels no longer need
ffprobe.
Fixed
- Software-decoded 4K ProRes and H.264 4:2:2 at 30 fps, and 10-bit HEVC at 60 fps, could drop frames.
- Software-decoded layers used extra memory on CPUs with more than 8 threads.
- Decoded video was converted on one thread.
- Video thumbnails could show a frame from before the requested position.
- Thumbnails of clips that fade in or hold one colour could be blank.
- Thumbnails of rotated clips had less detail than others.
- Thumbnails decoded video and photos at full size, using more memory.
- A named pipe in a Library folder could stall thumbnailing.
- HAP clips that end without looping stopped one or two frames early.
- Help pages, legal documents, download links and folders could fail to open.
