What’s new in version 1.3?
Markers and in/out ranges
- Markers with info: Set markers in individual clips or all clips of a group to annotate a specific frame or time range for later review. Choose from eight customizable marker types, and apply a note and/or rating for extra info
- Move, copy, cut, and paste markers: Move a selected marker to another position. Copy or cut and paste markers - along with their info - to another position or clip, e.g., to reuse markers with specific information as templates for frequently occurring use cases. Additionally, you can copy and paste markers with their details into a text document
- Thumbnail frame: Pick a custom thumbnail frame position in individual clips or all clips of a group for visual representation in the clip library.
- In/out range info: Tag your in/out ranges with a note and/or rating to find a relevant action even quicker (e.g., set a 5-star rating for the best action in a take)
- In/out ranges and markers tab: Inspect and edit a clip’s in/out range info and marker info via a new dedicated tab. Conveniently navigate to the desired in/out point or marker positions
- Library text search: Find a marked position or action by searching through the entire project’s in/out ranges and marker info
- Library detail view: Use the library’s detail view to inspect a selected clip’s marker and in/out range information and load clips at the marked position
AJA video I/O devices
- Automatic pass-through: Configuring an AJA video I/O device to route a camera signal from any input port to any output port on the same device enables an automatically switched direct feed with zero added latency in live mode
- Pass-through on quit: When quitting the application, a default pass-through routing from input port(s) to output port(s) is automatically applied
DELTACAST video I/O cards
- Optimized performance: The latency of processed live images using DELTACAST video I/O cards has been improved. Live image processing now achieves an added delay of only 2 to 3 frames (compared to a direct SDI feed from a camera).
Stills and image export
- Stills creation: Save stills from the live or playback signal of the selected slot or all slots of a group into the clip library
- Media import: Besides movies, still images can now be imported into the clip library (e.g., for use as background plate)
- Viewer image export: Export an image file from the current viewer signal
Composite slots
- Record composite slots: Arm and record composite slots, e.g., for convenient recording and playback of a green screen compositing preview together with the individual recordings of foreground and background
Chroma key
- Blue screen keying: The “Keyer” filter supports switching the mode between green and blue to choose your key’s appropriate target color channel
Sample project
- Sample project and footage: Download a Reeltime Pro sample project and associated footage via items in the “Help” menu. A small clip library contains recorded clips from a real-world production for testing and learning the software.
More features
- Play last recording: When the automatic loading of new recordings for instant playback is disabled, you can still use a dedicated menu item and Stream Deck controller action to load and play the last recording at any time
- Ping pong playback: A new loop mode allows you to loop a clip or in/out range, alternating between forward and backward playback
- Duplicate clips and/or stills: A new contextual menu item in the clip library allows for duplicating the selected clip(s) and/or still(s), e.g., for creating an alternative version of a background plate
Smart marking for enhanced productivity
Annotate sections with extra info for faster retrievability.
Reeltime Pro’s brand-new marker feature allows you to tag specific frames or actions during recording or playback, rounded by notes and ratings for both markers and in/out ranges in a new list view. Choose from eight colored marker types to apply to individual clips or entire groups. Additionally, select a thumbnail frame of a significant moment for improved visual representation in the clip library. Easily retrieve marked sections using a straightforward text search, and utilize the new detail view to inspect marker and in/out range information, enabling precise loading of clips at marked positions. This streamlined approach minimizes searching time and maximizes your creative focus.
Automatic pass-through for AJA video I/O devices
Zero added latency for live feeds with a single device.
Reeltime Pro introduces an innovative automatic pass-through feature for AJA video I/O devices, allowing camera signals to bypass its internal video processing and route directly through the AJA device. In live mode, it automatically activates an unprocessed feed for zero-added-latency monitoring on set. This creates a perceived improvement in synchronization between video and actual sound for directors and production teams. Integrating an additional video router into your setup is no longer necessary for this specific use case, keeping your setup both compact and affordable.
Additional notes: Using simultaneous pass-throughs when filming with multiple cameras, requires genlocked camera signals. The automatic pass-through feature does not limit signal processing or routing options, preserving the full flexibility of Reeltime Pro’s slot system. Head to documentation for all details.
A detailed list of all changes can be found in the Reeltime changelog.
What’s new in version 1.2?
Green screen compositing
- Green screen keying: Apply a “Green Screen Key” filter on any live or playback signal to remove the green screen background. Blend the isolated foreground with a background plate loaded into a library slot using a composite slot’s overlay layout option.
- Basic color adjustments: Balance foreground and background for a seamless composite shot by using the “Color Adjust” filter of the respective slots. The filter’s slide controls include basic color correction parameters such as contrast, temperature, and saturation.
- Blur filter: Enhance the realistic appearance of a composite shot by softening the background plate with a blur filter
Main audio source
- Audio source selection: Set the audio source for the application’s main audio to automatically follow the last selected input slot or library slot or even pin it to a specific input or library slot
Composite slots
- Syncing composite slot sources: Clicking the slot name label in the composite slot’s viewer controls allows you to access the individual controls of each source and cycle through them, making it easy to coordinate their playhead positions and playback modes
- Side-by-side layouts: Configure a multi-view of three source slots with the new “Side by Side (3x1)” option
- Layouts for vertical installation: Rotate the output image by -90° or +90° with the new “Orientation” parameter in the composite slots' side-by-side settings to support vertical monitor installations
AJA video I/O devices
- AJA video I/O configuration: A table in the devices settings allows fully flexible and device-specific configuration of any connected AJA video I/O devices
- Video output devices: Support for AJA’s video output devices T-Tap and T-TAP Pro
- 4K support: Receive ANC metadata from 6G/12G signals with supported AJA video I/O devices (AJA driver version 17 or higher and associated firmware version are required)
Green screen key
Real-time preview of VFX composites.
Provide your director and crew with an instant composite to pre-visualize and ensure their creative intent. Apply Reeltime Pro’s new “Green Screen Key” filter to remove the green background and replace it with any footage. Load your background plates into a library slot and use the overlay option of a composite slot to blend the isolated foreground with the desired background. Tweak the basic color settings of both components with the “Color Adjust” filter of each slot for a more seamless outcome. On top use the “Blur” filter to create a more authentic look.
Audio source selection
Enhanced control over the main audio source.
This new feature allows you to set Reeltime Pro’s main audio source in several dynamic ways, catering different usage scenarios rather than having audio selection always tied to the currently selected slot. With the automatic following option, the main audio source automatically updates to reflect the most recently selected input or library slot whenever switching between slots. The pinning option pulls audio constantly from a specific input or library slot, allowing you to simultaneously work with other slots and still maintain audio for all viewers. Both options ensure a smooth and uninterrupted audio experience for your crew. Are you using a Stream Deck controller? Add a new shortcut button to switch between automatic following and pinning even faster.
