Holding the shift key while dragging the keyframe’s position or center of rotation will constrain the movement horizontally or vertically. After Effects: A crash in Boris XML Transfer for Media 100 for Adobe After Effects CS5 in 64-bit mode has been corrected.

Movies in the PhotoJPEG codec can now be “fast imported.” Hardware: Media 100 Suite now supports the RED ROCKET board. The board is optional, and is used for accelerated renders of filters on REDCODE media when it is present. OpenCL: Media 100 Suite uses a software/hardware technology called OpenCL for fast, high quality image manipulation. Metadata: The new Metadata Window can manipulate metadata settings for media in the REDCODE (R3D) format, including camera color space, ISO speed, color temperature, etc.
Video Decoder Quality: This preference option allows you to change the speed of playback and quality of the image when Media 100 Suite renders REDCODE media. Use this setting in conjunction with the new Catch Frame pixel accurate option to choose the best setting for your requirements. Catch Frame: The Catch Frame window now has a pixel accurate option, allowing you to examine any image, even 4K video, at full size on your Mac monitor.
Use this view in conjunction with the Video Decorder Quality setting (which is settable from the Catch Frame window) to get the right combination of speed and quality when rendering REDCODE media. Mixed standards in program: Video clips of any standard, size and frame rate can be dropped into any program. Pan and Scan, Picture in Picture: The new Motion Editor allows you to zoom in or out of a selected area of your source clip and place it anywhere in the program frame. Conform: Conform now uses OpenCL rendering for higher quality upconvert and downconvert.
ColorFX Window: The ColorFX dialog has been superseded by the ColorFX window, which allows modeless access to all the ColorFX options (Classic, YUV Curves, YUV Levels, RGB Curves and RGB Levels) in one window for a smoother, faster workflow. Import: A new option allows better color fidelity when importing QuickTime video from other sources. Media Search: You can identify those disk volumes which never contain media (for example, your Time Machine backup volume) in the Project Settings window. This can help media searches find your files faster. Media Search: During a media search, you can tell Media 100 Suite to skip the current volume when you know it doesn’t contain the files you’re seeking. Recent Projects: The Open Project dialog now remembers your last ten projects for easier navigation.
