Timeline: Drop point for mattes inserted in a matte container or a multi-channel segment

When you drag and drop a matte clip from the Library to a timeline segment to create a multi-channel clip or to add a matte to a matte container, the drop point is set to the first frame of the shot inside the multi-channel clip/matte container.

• CTRL drag and drop: inserts the matte clip at the first frame of the shot located inside the multi-channel clip/matte container
• CTRL+ALT drag and drop: inserts the matte clip at the first frame of the timeline segment

If you work with scene-detected footage and want to work with matte containers, use the CTRL+ALT method to add matte clip(s) to matte containers.

Stereoscopy: Support for interlaced footage in stereoscopic 3D projects

It is now possible to use Interlaced footage in a Stereoscopic 3D project. In Stereoscopic 3D projects, since the F1/F2 buttons are not available (i.e. they are replaced by the Left and Right selector), so you must press the CTRL key and click on the Field 1 or Field 2 button located in the Setup/Grade menu to change the current field.

dl_create_clip: Command line tool to create a .clip file

Use the command line tool, dl_create_clip, to generate a .clip outside of the application.

With dl_create_clip, you can:

• Build multi-channel clips from multiple media files.
• Link one or more mattes to a clip.
• Link an audio file to a video file.
• Create multi-channel clips from CG render passes.

The "dl_create_clip" tool is located in the following folder:

 /usr/discreet/mio/current 

After you generate the .clip file, do one of the following:

• Put the .clip in the Library folder of the current scene
• Browse through Wiretap Gateway, to the location of the .clip file and import the clip to the Library. This will create a local copy of the clip.

Wiretap Gateway: Restart button

It is now possible to restart a local Wiretap Gateway Server from within Lustre. Use the Gateway Restart button located in the Media Browser. (This button is only available on the Linux version of Lustre.)

Note: it is not possible to restart a remote Wiretap Gateway Server from a Lustre workstation.
