M|Replay Version 2.3b48 (21 November 2024)

Warnings and Important modifications

• This version of M|Replay adds the support for High Frame Rate capture. It is still work in progress, so use this version with care.
• Backup your previous sessions before opening them with this version. Indeed, when reopening a session, we will rewrite timestamps of the file, and it won't be possible to revert back.

Release Notes

• NEW: Session: Added the ability to create HFR inputs and outputs. Simply select multiple inputs/outputs, and select "Create HFR input/output". You can then use it as you would with any other input/output.
• NEW: Playlists: Added the ability to use multiple playlists. With the ability to change the playlist displayed using the  SKAARHOJ's Time spin (XC8):

  • the jog wheel (the inner part with) to select a clip (when holding the shift key, you can select multiple clips at once, for example to change their angle and playback speed)

  • the shuttle wheel (the outer part) to select a playlist

• NEW: Playlists: Added the ability to change a clip's angle using keyboard shortcuts and SKAARHOJ's Time spin (XC8). Note that changes will not be applied during playback, only when it starts playing the next time.
• NEW: Playlists: Added the ability to change a clip's playback rate using SKAARHOJ's Time spin (XC8).
• NEW: Playlists: Added the ability to change the clip's angle and speed of multiple clips at once. 
• NEW: Export: Added an "Export Status" window to show clips that are being exported, and their status. You can cancel the export, reorganise the order of the exports, etc...
• NEW: Export: Added multiple export locations, with a lot of new possibilities:
  
  • custom naming of exported files
  • only exporting some specific angles
• NEW: Rules: Added the ability to define "Rules". So that clips that contain a specific string can be automatically exported or added to a playlist
• NEW: When a clip or maker is created, we now save which angle was used in the selected output. This angle will then be used:
  • when adding a clip to the playlist
  • when doing a double-click to go to a position
  • when exporting, you can choose to export only that angle
• NEW: Session: Added the ability to pause and resume the recording on multiple sources.
• NEW: Playback Control: Added the ability to set the behaviour when double-clicking on a clip or marker (keep playback status or pause)
• NEW: Now saving the angle used for the selected output in the clips/markers. This will be used in the playlist. You can also use the shift key when double-clicking on a clip or marker to change the angle to that one. Then when exporting you can also select to export only the selected angle. Right click on the clip int the browser to change its default angle.
• NEW: REST API: Added the ability to modify clips and markers using our REST API.
• NEW: REST API: Added the ability to allow clips to have identical name
• IMPROVED: When working with archived session, and changing the layout, it is now saved correctly and reloaded at next open
• IMPROVED: Exporting angles is now serialized. Exporting all angles at the same time in parallel could create issues with some NAS that received too many write requests.

About the High Frame Rate (HFR) option

Requirements

• Requires all incoming signals to be genlocked, and using the same format and frame rate.
• Requires timecode embedded in the SDI signal. This may be challenging, but is the only way to be 100% sure of the sync between all the signals.

Limitations

• Currently this feature only works with Blackmagic-Design devices. Other devices will be supported later on.
• The number of formats and frame rates is currently limited (see screenshot). Ask us if you need to support one that is not currently in the list, as we will be adding more.
