Version notes
v1.42.3 - Resolved bug causing some media to crash when looping bookmarks.
- Important bug fixes and enhancements - recommended for all users.
- ** PLEASE NOTE QUICKFIRE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MacOS 10.15.x Catalina **
v1.40.5 - New "Image Zoom" slider in Drawing Tools and Viewer Options panels.
- New fully detatched Playlist panel - easier to use in a dual monitor setup.
- Added "Create New Playlist From Selected Items" menu option (right click on items to access menu)
- New "Enable Lockfiles" feature. When enabled (in Preferences) this alerts users if they open a session someone else already has open. Very useful for teams who share .qfs files over a network. Note ALL users on the network need to enable this option.
- New "Save Backup File". When enabled (in Preferences) this will save a duplicate of your current session to a user-specified location each time you save.
- Important bug fixes and enhancements - recommended for all users.
v1.33.3 - Important bug fixes and enhancements - recommended for all users.
- Significant reduction in .qfs file sizes (around 10x smaller due to new thumbnail image compression).
v1.29.1
- Added “Create Playlist From Selection” option to the Session Window
- Select as many movies as you like and right-click to choose this option from the context menu.
- Replaced CSV file exports with TSV file exports
- Files previously saved as .csv’s (Comma Separated Value files) are now exported as .tsv’s (Tab Separated Value files).
- TSV’s are more robust at storing text data (such as notes, filenames, bookmark descriptions) which often need to contain comma’s.
- Create Bookmarks From EDL
- Imports an Avid EDL and creates a Quickfire Bookmark for each event.
- If the EDL includes Locators then the locator text is added to each bookmark (currently just the last 12 characters of text for use as shot names).
- Select one movie and choose “Bookmarks > Create Bookmarks From EDL…”.
- Note: The first event in the EDL must be on the first frame of the movie (the EDL and movie must match).
- Export Avid Conform EDL
- This creates an Avid timeline using each bookmark as a clip/event where each clip is abutted in the timeline.
- Create bookmarks on as many movies as you like - then select the movies in the order you want and click “File > Export > Export Avid Conform EDL…”.
- Each clip is abutted in the Avid timeline.
- Export Avid Locators EDL
- This creates an Avid timeline using each bookmark as a clip/event where each clip is NOT abutted in the timeline.
- This allows you to create markers/locators at specific points in an existing timeline.
- Create bookmarks on a single movie in QF then click “File > Export > Export Avid Locators EDL…”
- Double-clicking a movie in Finder now immediately displays the movie (if Quickfire is the default viewer)
- Close the viewer to immediately quit Quickfire without returning to the Session Window.
- If you’ve modifed the movie (added bookmarks, drawings, colour correction etc.) then closing the viewer returns you to the Session Window where you can save the session if you want.
- Added “Lockfile” support for multiple users using the same session file
- Users are alerted if they open a .qfs file which someone else already has open.
- Turn on “Enable Network Mode” in Preferences to use this feature.
- Lockfiles are automatically created at the same path as the session file, and are automatically removed when the first user closes the session, or can be manually removed without affecting Quickfire in any way.
- Note: Lockfiles don’t actually lock the original .qfs or prevent others modifying it - they just alert users that they’re sharing the file.
