SCS 11.3.3 Available

Post by Mike Daniell » Thu Aug 21, 2014 4:15 pm

Registered users with current update plans (including users who purchased or upgraded their SCS license during the last 12 months) may now download SCS 11.3.3 from the Members' Download page.

Important Notice
If you currently have version 11.3.2 installed then please download and install 11.3.3. The 'release date' of 11.3.3 has been back-dated to that of 11.3.2 so you can download 11.3.3 even if your update plan expired after the release of 11.3.2. A modification was made in 11.3.2 to improve the accuracy of the audio graph in the editor, and that change resulted in an increase in the size of the production database, as was mentioned in the 11.3.2 announcement. However, I have now found that this increase in the size of the database can be excessive and counter-productive. In 11.3.3 the production database is now much smaller. You may notice a small delay in the audio graph being displayed in the editor, but only for fairly large audio files. Once the initial audio graph has been built, it is saved in the production database so the next time you view the graph it will display almost instantly - unless you zoom in or change the width of the editor window (which results in a change in the width of the audio graph).

Changes in SCS 11.3.3
  • Production Timer History may now be saved to a CSV file (comma-separated values file) suitable for importing into a spreadsheet program such as Excel.
  • In SFR Cues, added the ability to select 'Go To' Cues. This enhancement is designed to allow you to set up an SFR cue to break out of a loop of cues.
  • Added an Auto Scroll option for Audio File Cues in the Editor. If checked and you have zoomed in on the audio graph, then when you play the audio file the graph will auto scroll to ensure the current position is always in view.
  • Found that part of a change in 11.3.2 that resulted in an increase in the size of the production database wasn't necessary and was counter-productive, so in 11.3.3 the production database is now much smaller.
  • Fixed a few errors.

SCS 11.3.3 has been re-uploaded as 11.3.3.1

SCS 11.3.3 has been re-uploaded as 11.3.3.1 to fix an issue that could cause video fades to fail under certain conditions. I have also added one more change which I had planned to do anyway, and that is that when an audio file cue is loaded in the editor then while the file is being scanned a progress bar is shown below the audio graph, just so the user knows something's happening.

The download link is as before for 11.3.3 - it's just that the internal version number is now 11.3.3.1.

Unfortunately the fix in 11.3.3.1 was incomplete and didn't fix the issue for cross-fading videos, or any video sub-cue that contains multiple video files. This has now been fixed as 11.3.3.2 - same download link as before.

I apologize for these problems.
