CommandPost 1.4.6

Bug Fix:

• Disabling "Open Debug Console on Dock Icon Click" in the General Preferences still opened the Debug Console when clicking the dock icon. Thanks for reporting Vigneswaran Rajkumar!

CommandPost 1.4.5

Improvements:

• Added an option to "Replace Commas With Alternative Commas" in the "Titles to Keywords" Toolbox. This is to workaround a bug in Final Cut Pro where it will split up a single keyword into multiple keywords when it detects a comma in the keyword name, when imported via a FCPXML. Thanks Knut Hake, Sam Pluemacher, Iain Anderson and Alex Gollner!

Bug Fixes:

• The contextual menu will now appear when you right-click on the "Create Titles from Text" text editor in the "Titles to Keywords" Toolbox.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a "nil" error in the Debug Console related to "topToBottomBaseAligned" sorting.

CommandPost 1.4.4

New Features:

• Added a new "Titles to Keywords" Toolbox. When you drag a Final Cut Pro Event to this Toolbox (which must only contain a single Project), we will look through all the Titles connected to the clips in the Primary Storyline, read the name of those clips, then create new Keyword Ranges for each of those Titles. We then send that data back into Final Cut Pro automagically.
• We've also included a "Create Titles from Text" feature in this same Toolbox, that allows you to create a new Final Cut Pro Project which contains a new Title for every line in the Toolbox's text box - along with some additional formatting features, such as adding a prefix, suffix or sequential numbering. This allows you to easily copy and paste text from things like a PDF Script, convert them into Titles, adjust as required, then convert those Titles into Keywords. You can also setup the CommandPost Dock icon so that it automatically sends any dragged Events or FCPXML files directly to this new Toolbox. Thanks for suggesting Knut Hake & Sam Pluemacher! Thanks for testing Vigneswaran Rajkumar!

Improvements:

• The "Shot Data" Toolbox icon has been updated. Thanks Vigneswaran Rajkumar!

Bug Fixes:

• In Final Cut Pro 10.6.2, Apple renamed the "Photos and Audio" menubar item to "Photos, Videos and Audio", which broke some automation features, like inserting specific Titles & Generators. This is now fixed. Thanks for reporting Trace Dominguez!
• Fixed a bug that could cause a "invalid order function for sorting" error in the Debug Console.

CommandPost 1.4.3

New Features:

• Added the ability to upload directly to Notion from the Shot Data Toolbox. Thanks Vigneswaran Rajkumar!
• Added a new Notion Toolbox allowing you to upload the Final Cut Pro Timeline Index and Browser Contents directly to Notion.
• Added two new dropdown menus in the General section of CommandPost’s preferences allowing you to set a “Drag & Drop Text Action” and a “Drag & Drop File Action”. This allows you to, for example, drag a Final Cut Pro project directly to the CommandPost dock icon to trigger the Vimeo Toolbox.
• Added a preference for “Key Repeat” and “Delay Until Repeat” in the Razer Control Surfaces panel. Thanks for suggesting Ross Batten!
• Added button that allows you to copy profiles between Razer devices in the Razer Control Surfaces panel. Thanks for suggesting Ross Batten!
• Added additional “Press & Hold” modifier actions. Thanks for suggesting Valerio D'Andrassi and Noé Molnár!
• Added actions to control Spotify. We’ve also added a new “Spotify” section in the CommandPost Loupedeck Plugin for easy access.
• Added actions to "Increment/Decrement User Interface Element Under Mouse”. This allows you to hover your mouse over a slider, knob or text-box in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve (for example), and use a control surface to control its value. We’ve also added a new “macOS: Accessibility” section in the CommandPost Loupedeck Plugin for easy access.

Bug Fixes:

• Added missing labels to some Razer Action Groups.
• Fixed a bug in the Color Board Angles actions. Thanks for reporting Noé Molnár!

CommandPost 1.4.2

Improvement:

• The Loupedeck Plugin now requires Loupedeck 5.2 or later. The CommandPost Loupedeck Plugin has been updated so that unnecessary "reset" actions are no longer displayed in the LoupedeckConfig application - for example, the Cinematic Focus Point action, no longer has a "press" action associated with it (as it previously did nothing). This was a bug in the Loupedeck Plugin API that has now been addressed in version 5.2 of their software. Thanks Loupedeck Team!

Bug Fix:

• Fixed a regression that broke the "Unmount external drives when switching to battery power" and "Mount external drives when switching to AC power" features in the previous release.

CommandPost 1.4.1

New Features:

• Added support for the Razer Tartarus, Tartarus Pro, Nostromo & Orbweaver Chroma. We'd love to add support for the Tartarus Chroma too, but have been unable to get our hands on this older device as of yet - if you have one that you can donate, let us know!

Improvements:

• You can now "drag and drop" to re-arrange buttons in the Razer Control Surfaces panel. You can also right-click on buttons to copy, cut and paste buttons.
• We've also added a preference to "Prevent Excessive Thumb Taps", to workaround issues with the thumb button on older Razer devices where the thumb button becomes too sensitive over time. Thanks for suggesting Ross Batten!
• We now cache the Razer devices brightness to improve performance.
• Added preference to "Scan Running Application Menubars on Startup" and "Scan the Menubars of the Active Application", which are now off by default to improve CommandPost's startup time.
• We no longer load various Final Cut Pro plugins when Final Cut Pro isn't installed, to improve startup performance.
• The CommandPost Workflow Extension for Final Cut Pro is no longer installed if Final Cut Pro is not installed.
• The Skype Shortcuts plugin no longer loads if Skype isn't installed.
• The Zoom Shortcuts plugin no longer loads if Zoom isn't installed.
• We've changed the way the "Press & Hold" modifier key actions works for better performance.
• CommandPost now defaults to controlling the Final Cut Pro Trial, if the trial is already running when CommandPost starts, even if the full version is also installed. Thanks for suggesting Nathen McEvoy!
• Changed the wording from "Unknown" to "Not Installed" in the Debug Console if the Final Cut Pro version and/or path can't be detected.
• Improved the German translation in the Loupedeck Plugin. Thanks Jenny!

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bugs related to the "Copy Control to All Banks" and "Reset Control" buttons in the Razer Preferences.
• Fixed a bug where "Unlisted & Ignored Applications" wouldn't work as intended on Razer devices.
• Fixed a bug where deleting a Custom User Application in Razer Preferences wouldn't update the user interface correctly.

CommandPost 1.4.0

New Features:

• We've added a new "Loupedeck Plugin" that acts as an alternative to our native/direct Loupedeck support - allowing you to access all of CommandPost's Final Cut Pro actions within the LoupedeckConfig application. This is really handy for users that have to jump between Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro, for example. All of your macOS Shortcuts macros and Keyboard Maestro macros will also appear in the LoupedeckConfig application automagically. There are also some macOS Spaces actions. Big thanks to the Loupedeck Team for their support - especially Jenny!
• Added support for the Razer Orbweaver. Big thanks to Ross Batten for giving us access to the hardware! We hope to add more Razer keyboards in the near future.
• We've added a new Final Cut Pro Workflow Extension, which allows us to better control the playhead (which works great with control surfaces - such as the Loupedeck CT wheel). The Workflow Extension will only load when you trigger an action that requires it. When you first load the Workflow Extension it will try and make itself as small as possible and get out of the way - however you can move it to wherever you want, and like all Workflow Extensions its position is saved with your Workspace. There are new actions for "Move Playhead Forward/Backward" at different increments. There's no buttons on the Workflow Extension - it's currently simply an interface for us to control the playhead.

Bug Fixes:

• Improved the colour accuracy of the Razer Tartarus V2 LEDs.
• Fixed a bug in the Resolve Control Surfaces where the "RELATIVE FINE CONTROL" jog mode wouldn't trigger the correct jog mode on the hardware.

CommandPost 1.3.13

Improvements:

• We've added a new "Relative (Fine Control)" Jog Wheel Mode for the Blackmagic Resolve Keyboards, which uses a different algorithm for more precise control, as some users found the jog wheel too sensitive and hard to navigate when in relative mode. We’ve also added some additional sensitivity values, so you can further fine tune it to your liking. Thanks for your valuable feedback David Manganelli!
• We now forcefully update the LED lights on the Blackmagic Resolve Keyboards every 5 minutes to attempt to prevent the device from falling asleep. Thanks for reporting David Manganelli!

Bug Fix:

• Fixed a regression introduced in the previous release which caused applying individual effects, transitions, titles and generators to clips in Final Cut Pro via a CommandPost action to fail unexpectedly. Thanks for reporting Fernando Piñero & Andrew Griffiths!

CommandPost 1.3.12

Improvements:

• CommandPost now remembers the menubar position if you change it by holding down COMMAND and dragging it to a new location.
• In the previous release of CommandPost if you tried to trigger a Final Cut Pro shortcut key that didn't actually have any keys assigned to it with the Final Cut Pro Command Editor, you'd be presented with an error message. This would sometime confuse users - for example, those using a Speed Editor which has the "Play Rate" shortcut keys assigned to the jog wheel - but Final Cut Pro doesn't assign anything to the "Play Rate" shortcuts by default. To improve this, if CommandPost tries to trigger a shortcut key that you haven't set up in Final Cut Pro, we'll now present you with a macOS Notification, which when clicked, takes you to the relevant Command within the Final Cut Pro Command Editor.
• CommandPost now disables support for displaying macOS Shortcut app shortcuts within the Search Console by default. To enable this functionality you must now manually enable it within the Shortcuts preferences panel within CommandPost. We have also added a new setup screen for new users, that allows you to enable shortcuts there. This is to prevent the shortcuts permission box from popping up the first time new users opened the Search Console.
• When you add a custom application to the Resolve Keyboards, it now automatically selects that application once added. Thanks for reporting Dávid Szentmiklósi!
• We've improved how we cache the Jog Wheel mode on the DaVinci Resolve Keyboards.
• Improved the load times of the Resolve, Razer and TourBox Control Surface Panels.
• The Speed Editor battery status is now displayed in the preferences panel.
• Updated the default Resolve Keyboard layouts so that the JOG banks use menubar actions instead of shortcut key actions to improve performance. This will only change for new users, or if you reset your layout to "factory default".

Bug Fixes:

• If you delete an application, device or everything on the Resolve Keyboard panel, it now resets the "last application" if that custom application no longer exists in the preferences file.
• CommandPost now correctly determines the Final Cut Pro language when you change it via System Preferences within the Language & Region > Apps section. Thanks for reporting Sam Pluemacher - we had no idea this feature was added to macOS!
• System Preferences no longer quits when CommandPost starts up.
• CommandPost can now better detect when the Command Set is changed within Final Cut Pro.
• Fixed a bug which prevented the Search Console from pre-populating the last action title in the Resolve Keyboard panel.

CommandPost 1.3.11

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where Effects that contained special symbols in English would not be listed correctly in the Search Console when Final Cut Pro was not in English (i.e. the "Black & White" colour effect for Spanish users). Thanks for reporting Javier Beldamu!
• Fixed a bug where CommandPost would fail to select the Effects Category when Final Cut Pro was in Spanish, so that when you tried to insert an Effect from the Search Console, it would always use the "All Video & Audio" category, making it slightly slower.
• Fixed a bug where actions saved in English (i.e. all the default control surface layouts) would fail to trigger when Final Cut Pro was not in English. Thanks for reporting Peter Schroeder!
• Fixed a bug where the Search Console would fail to populate properly if Final Cut Pro was in Korean.
