Best practice is to use the new target area feature to target only the actual image region of the video feed. Both RGB and Luma Histograms support this functionality. • The computer vision model that powers RED Record Trigger has been updated, it is now trained on 3x as many images which provides more accurate detection of rolling / not rolling on a wide array of RED Cameras. • Video Assist will correctly recognize the M4 iPad Pro, M2 iPad Air and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro). • Remaining Record Time is now more accurate. • Fixed issue where the current shot details would disappear when renaming a project. • Fixed issue where it would be difficult to tap an existing value for Episode, Scene or Shot. • Fixed issue where the sort order of Existing Episodes, Scenes or Shots would not sort correctly for numeric values. • Fixed issue where the duration of existing clips would not show if you transfer Video Assist to a new iPad via an iPad Backup. • Fixed issue where an Error Alert would not dismiss when tapping the OK Button. • Various UI Tweaks to ensure compatibility with iOS 18. • Various other bug fixes and performance improvements.

What’s New: • Contact Sheets now have an option to adjust Sort Order and Image Quality for more flexible output options. • The Dimmed Video Overlay will now automatically disappear after 5 Seconds when toggling Full Screen, Screen Lock or the Full Screen Toolbar.

• Introducing Contact Sheets! Easily generate Contact Sheets from Frame Grabs. Contact Sheets can be created for an entire Shoot Day or you can manually select specific Frame Grabs to be included. Customise your Contact Sheets with a Title, Subtitle and Logo. Supported file types for logos are .heic, .jpeg, .tiff and .png. • Fixed issue where Metadata would not update for the following shot/take when changed during recording. • The Audio Meter Output for Live Audio is now processed on a background thread. This should fix a crash that some crew members experienced in certain situations.

• Introducing Metadata! Assign Metadata for Camera, Episode, Scene, Shot, Take and Notes. Takes will auto-increment and can be set as a rehearsal or reference. Shots will intelligently match with Episodes and Scenes. Quickly select from Existing Episodes, Scenes or Takes. Stay organised by keeping detailed notes on a shot by shot basis. • Introducing the Playback Filter! Easily find any take by filtering through all recorded media for a project.

If there are a significant amount of dropped frames a warning indicator will show in ‘Video Input’. • Debug Settings now include a Frame Rate Overlay to monitor the current frame rate of the USB Capture Card. • Removed ’23.976’ and ’29.97’ Frame Rates from the list of available options.

• The Computer Vision Model that powers Record Trigger for RED Cameras has been updated to work with USB Capture Cards that have a slight color shift such as the J5 Create JVA02.

• Rebuilt ‘Settings’ from the ground up to prevent random UI Freezes that could occur on older iPads. Default Settings have been reset, please check your Settings to ensure the desired Video Codec and Record Trigger are selected. • When editing a Video Effect, you can now enter a custom value via a keypad rather than using the slider. This allows for more precise input if you want to scale the image at exactly 92.125% or if you want to apply a specific opacity of 56.75% to a Mask or Grid. • Custom Aspect Ratios are now supported. When editing a Mask, Tap and Hold on ‘Aspect Ratio’ and select ‘Custom Aspect Ratio’ to assign any Aspect Ratio that isn’t available by default. • Audio Input now allows for selection of specific audio sources rather than using the default iPadOS audio source.

This capture card is locked to 60 FPS and does not allow for other frame rates.

• Introducing In and Out Points! Easily set multiple in and points for a video during recording or playback. Playback will loop the current clip based on its in/out points. For takes with multiple actions you can set multiple in/out points and playback can loop through all of them or just one of them. • Introducing Clip Ratings!

The duration of an in/out point will be shown below the current timecode to help when trimming shots to the desired length. • Redesigned Audio Meters! Audio input power level now displays as a gradient from green to red instead of a single color. Corresponding dB values are now overlayed over the audio meters for better readability. • Free Disk Storage will now be translated to Estimated Recording Time to give you a better idea of how many hours/minutes you have left to record on your iPad. Estimates are based on current codec, resolution and frame rate. Estimates will get more accurate over time as you record more videos with Video Assist. • Playback List now supports multi item selection for videos and frame grabs. This allows you to easily share or delete multiple videos or frame grabs based on your own custom selection. • Improvements to UI Layout when using smaller screen sizes, particularly useful when using Split View, Slide Over or Stage Manager. • The user interface will now default to Dark Mode.
