4.7.32

News tickers from an RSS feed in fewer steps

A news ticker from an RSS feed took more steps than it should: every new playlist item started with placeholder text, the Content field showed nothing, and dates came through in the feed's raw format.

Improvements
  • Visual DesignerA new item in a data playlist starts with the item's title, so a feed shows its headlines right away.
  • Visual DesignerText that reads from a playlist item shows the field it uses in the Content field, like title or pubDate.
  • Visual DesignerShow a date from a feed or API in your own format with formatDate, or as a time, yesterday or a weekday with relativeDate.
  • Visual DesignerA visual opens with its canvas complete, instead of building up layer by layer.
  • SettingsBranding always shows Primary, Background and Text. You add Secondary and Accent from More colors, with a one-click pick from the colors found on your website.
  • ClipsEvent tracks fold into thin colored lines that always fit the timeline. Scroll over the timeline to open them into labeled rows.
  • Media HubThe Move dialog names the destination folder on its button.
Fixes
  • Visual DesignerA long variable name on a playlist no longer pushes the properties panel off screen.
  • PlayoutKeyboard shortcuts no longer act on the page behind an open dialog, menu or confirm, or while you type.
  • DashboardsOpen page buttons show the folder or page name instead of an ID, and long labels wrap.

4.7.30

Video and data playlists on the animation timeline

Video layers and data playlists sat outside the new animation timeline. A video ran on its own clock, and a visual with a data playlist could not move its old animations to the timeline at all.

New
  • Visual DesignerPlay, pause and scrub video layers from the animation timeline.
Improvements
  • Visual DesignerVisuals with a data playlist move to the timeline, with Item in and Item out on the playlist's template.
  • Visual DesignerA visual that can't move to the timeline lists what stops it and the step that fixes it.
  • SchedulingAdd a new presenter from Edit program without leaving it, and it is selected for the program right away.
  • AutomationsOpening another command condition asks first when the one you're editing has unsaved changes.
Fixes
  • SchedulingProgram copies in an override keep the images, media and variables of the original.
  • StudioThe on-air "until" time is right for recurring programs after a clock change.
  • Media HubCropping a PNG on upload keeps its transparency.
  • Media HubA folder can no longer be moved into itself or one of its subfolders.
  • CamerasThe Panasonic model list names the AW-HE145 and AW-HE38 correctly.
  • AutomationsThe mAirList data template reads the cue-in time of the fifth upcoming item, once you copy the template again.
  • AutomationsThe Automation Link rundown shows each played item once, in order.

Visual Designer: animate and brand your graphics

Animating a graphic used to mean picking a transition mode, setting fades layer by layer, or writing your own CSS and code. You could not see the timing of a whole visual in one place.

changelog-4-7-29
New
  • Visual DesignerEvery animation sits on one timeline, where you add presets such as Slide in, Scale in and Wipe and drag them to set their timing.
  • Visual DesignerAnimate all layers gives every layer the same animation at once, each one starting a little after the one before.
  • Visual DesignerBodymovin animations play in the timeline, and you can drag their start and stop.
  • Visual DesignerPaste or drop images and videos on the canvas to add them as layers.
  • Visual DesignerSafe areas and a camera still behind the canvas show where your graphic lands in the picture.
  • SettingsYour brand colours, fonts and logos in station settings, filled in by hand or from your website, and linked from every colour picker.
  • Visual DesignerImport a Photoshop file as editable layers, or let VRA build a first version of a graphic in your brand.
Improvements
  • Visual DesignerVisuals has its own place in the sidebar, with Overview, Designer, Templates and Variables.
  • Visual DesignerSaving a visual asks first, because the change goes straight to every output that shows it, and the confirmation offers an Undo.
  • SettingsTime fields read as a clock, so you type 1:30 instead of a number of milliseconds.
  • CamerasMove pan, tilt and zoom with the numpad in the camera editor.
  • ClipsRetry a failed export from the exports list.
  • ClipsSet an audio delay per media connection, so recordings come out in sync with the picture.
  • SchedulingHover a presenter to see their photo, station and the programs they present.
Fixes
  • Media ServerThe ingest sources list shows every source, not only the first ten.
  • PlayoutDragging an item in the Episode Composer while the output player updates no longer leaves a stray copy of the item in the list.

4.7.27

Refinements across VRA

A release of small changes, most of them saving a step you take often.

Improvements
  • Audio ManagerNew audio triggers start at 500 ms attack and a -35 dB threshold.
  • Audio ManagerOpen a camera angle straight from the audio trigger command list.
  • SettingsA new station takes its language and time zone from your browser.
  • SettingsAn ingest source with an auto-create pattern can skip chosen programs and name each recording after the program on air.
  • SettingsHyperDeck media connections can set the recording audio codec.
  • SchedulingA refreshed calendar, with the program on air and today marked at a glance.
  • CamerasThe angle editor fits small screens, with preset and joystick tabs and a 16:9 preview.
  • CamerasAn angle's base position is a VRA position or an in-camera preset, and you pick the in-camera settings set and subject size with five buttons.
  • CamerasDisabled cameras no longer show in the angle picker.
  • CamerasThe live camera picture in the browser runs closer to real time.
  • StudioEmoji that graphics cannot show are removed from messenger messages before they go on air.
  • ClipsA Media Server that goes offline leaves the list after 7 minutes.
  • ClipsA Clips editor role, for users who should only see Clips.
Fixes
  • Audio ManagerPrograms without a reference ID now show in audio trigger conditions.
  • SettingsDevices found on the network no longer drop out of the list when a later scan comes back empty.
  • ClipsAudio keeps playing in Safari after the tab has been in the background.
  • CamerasThe browser no longer autofills a camera's login, and a cleared password saves.

4.7.15

Studio Routing for Integrations

Moving a studio to another station, like a station switch during the day, could only be done by hand on the Station Link page. An integration connected through a machine user had no way to do it, and on the Station Link page a studio could be moved without a confirmation.

New
  • SettingsMachine users can get Studio routing, which lets an integration move any studio to another station.
Improvements
  • SettingsChanging a studio's active station on the Station Link page asks for confirmation first.
  • Visual DesignerUsing a template copies its visual variables and names the new visual after the template.
Fixes
  • Visual DesignerVisuals made in the first designer keep their horizontal text alignment when you open them.
  • Visual DesignerLottie files with a track matte on a null, audio or footage layer load in Bodymovin layers.
  • Visual DesignerCustom CSS sized in em renders at the right size when the canvas is zoomed.
  • AutomationsCover art lookup finds the right album for artists with & or feat. in their name.
  • SettingsAutomations, Switchers and Core settings no longer redirect to studio setup when you open them directly.

4.7.8

Camera Assist Reframing Status and One Name for Variables

When Camera Assist held back from reframing a camera, nothing told you why. An operator who took a camera by hand with the joystick couldn't see when automation would take over again without waiting for the camera to move. Variables also went by four names across the platform: visual, station, global and output variables.

New
  • CamerasCanon XC cameras can use in-camera auto tracking, with subject size, auto framing and multi-person set per angle.
  • SchedulingA deleted override can be restored, together with the programs that were archived with it.
Improvements
  • CamerasThe camera editor footer shows the reframing state, with the reason it is paused and a countdown.
  • CamerasWhile you control a camera by hand, Back to automation hands it back to Camera Assist straight away.
  • CamerasThe camera list and camera editor headers show the AI framing signal, and you can switch it from there.
  • CamerasThe camera editor shows changes other users make to cameras and angles without a reload.
  • CamerasWith AI framing off for a camera, the editor hides every AI framing detail.
  • CamerasWith the Zoom axis off on an angle, the framing standard is disabled, because the shot size follows the base position.
  • CamerasWhen an angle frames more than one person, its face position is labelled as the group position.
  • Output VariablesVisual, station, global and output variables are one feature, Variables, and each variable has a Station or Visual scope.
  • Visual DesignerPhotoshop import matches station fonts regardless of case and spacing, and offers to add missing fonts from Google Fonts.
  • StudioEvery studio indicator shows the live air state: Off air, On air or Recording.
  • SettingsScrolling the page no longer changes the number field under the cursor.
Fixes
  • Visual DesignerCreating a template from the templates overview saves it as a template.
  • Visual DesignerBodymovin now-playing visuals enter with the current track instead of the previous one.
  • ClipsPressing F in the editor toggles fullscreen without opening Quick Find.

4.7.4

Recording Studio State and Artwork in the AutomationLink Rundown

A studio used to be either on air or off air. Recording a show for later, a podcast or a pre-recorded segment between productions meant marking the studio on air. Every condition and badge keyed to on air then treated the session as a broadcast.

New
  • StudioStudios can have a Recording state beside On air and Off air, turned on per studio.
  • CamerasAn AI framing signal turns AI framing off and on, so AI angles go straight to their base position while the signal is off.
Improvements
  • AutomationsThe AutomationLink rundown shows album covers on every row and on the On air and Next tiles, and hovering an artist shows their image, genres and biography.
  • Visual DesignerThe data picker opens on the most used fields in six groups, with a switch to show all fields.
  • Visual DesignerThe dynamic media layer has an Insert data button that lists image fields, such as album cover and artist image.
  • Visual DesignerBodymovin layers with dynamic images can have a fallback image for when the data is missing.
  • Visual DesignerWhen a music field doesn't exist, the layer warning names that field.
  • CamerasCamera model search finds a model by its number alone, like 130 for the AW-HE130.
  • CamerasCanon XC cameras can use their native MJPEG stream.
  • Media ServerMedia Connection rows show a single status badge, with device type, Media Server and address as plain details.
  • DashboardsStudio health on the welcome dashboard lists stations in your station order.
  • ClipsThe Clips editor hides the studio label on stations with one studio.
Fixes
  • DashboardsOutputs on the studio dashboard keep the same order on every reload.
  • Visual DesignerThe data button in the text layer toolbar keeps the layer selected.

4.7.0

New: VRA Camera Assist

Camera angles have been part of VRA from the start. You stored a PTZ preset, pointed an audio trigger at it, and your switcher made the cut. What none of that did was look at the picture, so a shot that was framed right in rehearsal drifts by the second hour and somebody has to sit behind a joystick to put it back.

camera assist changelog
New
  • DashboardsVRA Cloud opens on a role-based welcome board with studio health, on air status, the schedule and the latest recordings, and every tile can be reordered, resized or hidden.
Improvements
  • Media ServerMedia connections, ingest sources and export locations open on a grid of vendor logos, and the list shows which vendor each one is.
  • SwitcherAdding a switcher starts from the vendor logo too.
  • Audio ManagerTrigger group headers carry a member count, and member level bars use the same meter gradient as the rest of the platform with an outline marking on air.
  • Audio ManagerTrigger faders now run down to minus infinity instead of stopping at -96.
  • Audio ManagerSave and delete stay in reach at the bottom of an audio trigger while you scroll.
  • Audio ManagerThe priority badge is hidden on triggers that sit at the default priority, so the mixer and the list only flag the exceptions.
  • SwitcherThe DSK and macro rows read as keycaps on the bus, in line with the rest of the switcher.
  • Media HubThe media selector dialog is larger and loads a page size that fits the window.
  • Media HubEmpty states in the Media Hub and the bin match the rest of the platform.
  • StudioRefined layouts for phones and tablets: navigation, lists, dialogs and the designers reflow, and controls that only appeared on hover are reachable by touch.
Fixes
  • Output PlayerDates and times in graphics now follow the station locale and the station time zone.
  • Media HubRestored scrolling in the media selector dialog.
  • SettingsCheckboxes line up with labels that fit on one line.

4.6.80

A Playout-Style AutomationLink and One Track per Program in Clips

The AutomationLink page showed what came in from your radio automation as a raw list, and in station-wide clips projects every program showed up once per studio that aired it.

Improvements
  • AutomationsAutomationLink is redesigned as a playout log, with on air and next tiles and a single rundown.
  • ClipsIn a station-wide project, a program aired from several studios is merged into one track.
  • ClipsCollapsed event groups are remembered per user, and collapsing actually shortens the timeline.
  • Audio ManagerNew human-speech triggers start with a 500 ms attack. Music and tone triggers always attack and release instantly.
  • StudioOnboarding for stations and studios is more compact.
Fixes
  • Output VariablesThe variable picker in the dynamic media layer lists every variable, including those from API data sources.
  • Output PlayerVideo variables in graphics resolve to a playable URL.
  • Visual DesignerRSS and Atom feed fields can be used in a text layer, and a visual without a thumbnail can be saved.
  • ClipsFixed crashes in Clips when no station was active.

Exports That Finish and a Broad Stability Pass

Some rough edges had piled up. An export could stay on "Uploading" after it had finished, with no way to remove it, the studio health board stopped updating once it had loaded, and a handful of pages failed on data that had not arrived yet.

Improvements
  • ClipsThe date, studio and program filters on Clips recordings are kept in the link, so a filtered view can be shared and the back button walks through your filters.
  • StudioDisabled studios carry a Disabled badge in the studio list.
  • ClipsAn export can be archived in any status, including one that is stuck.
Fixes
  • ClipsAn export no longer stays on "Uploading" after it has finished, and a finished export no longer shows a "Processing" button.
  • ClipsArchiving a recording is scoped to the studio's active station.
  • ClipsThe bottom row of the project card grid lines up again.
  • Media ServerThe network discovery popup no longer closes on every click.
  • Media ServerNo more "NaN%" flash while a new HyperDeck disk is being inserted.
  • Output VariablesPicking the active image or video source again keeps your selection.
  • Output VariablesFixed a crash in the media variable form when a variable was empty.
  • Media HubDropping an empty file no longer crashes the upload.
  • Output PlayerThe album cover falls back correctly when the cover URL is a placeholder.
  • AutomationsFixed an error when sorting on the Automations page.
  • CamerasAn empty fallback command shows correctly.
  • StudioThe share-metrics action on the server card follows the right licence.
  • SettingsLong titles in lists are no longer cut off too early.

4.6.78

Station-Wide Clips Projects and Steadier Media Connections

A clips project used to belong to one studio, which meant a recording made in the other room was out of reach and a project card stopped making sense the moment the media server behind it changed. Media connections themselves sat in whatever order they were created in.

New
  • ClipsClips projects are station-wide, so a project reaches every media server in the station instead of a single studio.
  • Media ServerMedia connections can be dragged into the order you want.
Improvements
  • Media HubRe-download is now called Resync, and the sync states read in sentence case.
  • ClipsExports of very large recordings upload in fewer, larger parts.
  • MacrosAn on air macro uses the same status badge as the rest of the platform.
  • Output EditorThe standard output editor follows the same design as the rest of the app.
Fixes
  • ClipsA recording opens even when one of its media connections can no longer be resolved.
  • ClipsBackground state requests stay quiet while a media server is offline.
  • ClipsMic names on audio triggers resolve across both Audio Manager versions.
  • ClipsMedia connection state arrives on the studio that owns it.
  • Audio ManagerThe connection is re-activated when the Audio Manager restarts.
  • SwitcherFixed an error when a switcher input had no name.
  • Output PlayerVariables inside variables no longer show escaped characters.
  • Output PlayerA music cover falls back correctly when the cover URL is empty.
  • Output PlayerSaving an output player map no longer fails on a missing video format.
  • PlayoutThe rundowns empty state stays inside its card.

4.6.76

One Save on Core Settings

Studio Core settings repeated the same Save in every box, so one page of settings read as several independent saves. The actions that run straight away on the machine sat between the config rows they had nothing to do with.

Improvements
  • SettingsStudio Core settings save once at the bottom of the page, and the actions that run immediately on the machine sit together in their own box.
  • StudioCreating a studio follows the same flow as creating a station.
  • ClipsMoments carry the programme's hosts.
  • StudioThe studio menu can copy the studio ID.
Fixes
  • StudioYou can pick a station again when your account has no active station set.
  • StudioThe activity timeline in the cockpit shows event times in the station time zone.
  • SettingsQuick Find no longer shows empty suggestion and action groups.
  • ClipsThe path field shows again for a vMix recording directory ingest source.
  • ClipsFixed a crash when opening a clips project.
  • Media ServerThe connection picker no longer overlaps the host name.
  • Output PlayerA long date in a graphic no longer carries the time with it.
  • SchedulingThe connect audio trigger menu opens on the first try.

4.6.68

Refined Designer Canvas and Faster Camera Setup

Small friction in the daily surfaces adds up. Zooming in the Visual Designer jumped away from the spot you were working on, the Data Selector closed the moment you opened it, and every new camera needed an angle created by hand before you could do anything useful with it.

New
  • CamerasCreating a camera now automatically adds a first angle on preset 1
  • Settings Added a settings shortcut to the cameras overview header.
Improvements
  • Visual DesignerZooming now anchors on your pointer instead of the canvas center.
  • Visual DesignerThe gap on a stack layer is now a draggable value.
  • Media HubYou can drag and drop files straight into the media selector dialog.
  • Output VariablesSaving an API data source now confirms with a toast and the new values are available right away.

  • SettingsBulk font upload handles large batches and duplicate names more clearly.
Fixes
  • SchedulingThe calendar display now follows the station locale.
  • SchedulingFixed the time disappearing from the date and time picker.
  • Visual DesignerRemoved a duplicate Sizing and Display section from text layer properties.
  • Visual DesignerThe Data Selector no longer closes the moment you open it.
  • Visual DesignerFixed opening and closing behaviour of the designer.
  • Visual DesignerCustom fonts now render reliably in graphics output.
  • Output PlayerFixed playback getting stuck while waiting on rundown state.
  • SchedulingThe delete button no longer shows while creating a new presenter.
  • Media HubFixed sizing of the upload button on playout images.
  • ClipsAudio triggers now appear correctly on the clips timeline.

Quicker Ways to Get Around and a Broad Stability Pass

Getting to the thing you need was taking too many steps. Settings had no search, the Users list stopped at ten rows with nothing to filter on, and stepping through files in the Media Hub meant closing the preview every time.

Improvements
  • StudioServer app clients can be given a label so you can tell identical machines apart.
  • Visual DesignermacOS touchpad zooming now works the way you expect in the Designer and the Clips timeline.
  • ClipsScroll zoom now anchors to the playhead unless playback is paused.
  • Visual DesignerLayer sizing now reads as Fixed and Relative instead of raw pixel wording.
  • Media HubAdded previous and next controls to the file sheet so you can step through files without closing the preview.
  • Media HubYou can now create a folder directly from the media selector dialog.
  • Media HubThe tag editor in the video dialog can now be expanded from the top detail row.
  • Media HubNew folder and Upload actions are hidden in search results, where they did not apply.
  • SchedulingThe title field is focused automatically when you create a program.
  • Output EditorThe outputs overview now uses a compact empty state.
  • AutomationsThe generic automation link display is sized down so it no longer dominates the page.
  • StudioThe on-air toggle in the studio server overview now uses a flat state button.
  • StudioThe server overview refreshes on its own when a client is deleted.
  • SettingsThe Users list now fills the available screen height instead of stopping at ten rows.
  • SettingsPrefix labels and meta rows now follow one consistent style across the platform.
  • SettingsQuick Find result badges now use sentence case.
  • SettingsAdded a search bar with arrow-key navigation to settings.
  • SettingsReworked station onboarding with clearer steps and recoverable creation errors.
  • SettingsBroadcasters with a single station now land straight on that station instead of the overview.
  • SettingsAdded station and role filters to the Users table.
  • SettingsAdded a copy station ID action to the station manage page.
Fixes
  • SchedulingFixed Save staying disabled when creating a program from the button.
  • PlayoutFixed a crash when saving rundown variables shortly after switching episode.

Visual Fonts and Clips enhancements

We refined how custom typography works in the Visual Designer. When you picked a Google Font for your visuals, only a single weight came through, so any heading or label set to bold, light, or anything other than that on…
