This is one of the biggest updates we’ve shipped so far, and the headline is collaboration.
Real-time collaboration with CineSync
CineSync is our new real-time collaboration system, and it starts in the script editor. When two people open the same script, they now see each other’s changes live. Edits sync at the level of the individual line, so the document doesn’t reload every time somebody types. And if two of you touch the same spot at the same time, CineSync sorts out the conflict instead of losing anybody’s work.
It also works offline. If your connection drops, you keep writing, and CineLog queues your changes on your device. Once you’re back online, everything syncs up on its own. That matters on set, because the places we shoot rarely come with good Wi-Fi.
Importing got some attention too. You can bring a script in from a file, and CineLog figures out the format and converts it for you.
A proper Projects screen
Projects got a real home this release. There’s a new Projects screen where you can see all of your productions, filter them, and search by name. Creating, editing, and deleting a project now runs through clean dialogs. Switching projects fully clears the previous one first, so you never see one production’s data showing up inside another. And CineLog keeps your recent projects list fresh as you move around.
Shot list selection and reordering
We rewrote how you select and move shots in the shot list. You can select multiple shots and drag them together, and the list checks the drop target as you go, so you can’t land a shot somewhere it doesn’t belong in the scene. The selection behavior also adapts to linear mode and production mode, because those two views follow different rules.
On top of that, dark mode got a cleanup pass across the app, so colors and contrast sit right in both themes.
