Information on the features released in August 2021
In the August release, we've introduced a new improved version of our Arrange View!
Below are a few highlights on what's changed and how to access the new page.
What's new:
- You can now start arranging your audio without having all the assets
- A better and more clear indication of overlapping elements
- No more "negative offset issues" - you can only drag an element up to the start of the previous element
- The Arrange View is always zoomed out by default so that you can see all your media on the timeline
- Zoom to fit functionality that fits all your media to your screen
- You can now search through the Lines when you open a dynamic section and arrange specific dynamic lines
- The Lines tab functionality is improved to make it easier for you to find and layout specific dynamic versions:
- Preview a version of the ad that includes those lines by finding the line (perhaps using the new search feature!) and double-click on it.
- Once you've selected a line you will be able to preview the version of the ad that contains that line and lay it out in the Arrange view
- Choosing a specific line will also impact other sections of your script in the arrange view, e.g. if you have a sunny line in 2 different sections and you’ve chosen the sunny line in one of your sections, Studio will also put the sunny line in the other section on the timeline.
- All the lines “incompatible” with the current selection lines will be greyed out but still can be moved around or chosen. If you choose to put a greyed out line on the timeline, your previous selection will be removed.
- Shortest / Longest / Default Views have moved to the top bar. The Dynamic Player functionality is available via a toggle next to the Shortest / Longest / Default View
- The “Undo” button is now available from the top left corner!
Note: the undo only works within the current session (if you leave the script and come back or refresh a page, you can’t use undo for your previous actions on this script)
How to access:
When in the Arrange View just proceed to the toggle in the top right corner next to the Settings menu and choose to toggle in to see the changes!
