[sftechguy]

I just noticed over at QLab.app that they've released version 5.4.  Congratulations, FIgure53!

Looking forward to getting into it.

Hello friends!

Welcome to QLab 5.4, a major update that's free for anyone using QLab 5.

Here are a few highlights:

• Fade cues gain a powerful new path tool, which lets you animate video geometry intuitively and quickly. The new editing tools for this path tool are also available in the Network cue, making it much easier to draw and edit sophisticated 2D paths.
• Mute and Solo buttons for each cue output of each cue make it easier to listen critically to a complex mix. Editing audio effects from a collaboration remote makes it easier to get all your work done from the tech table, the balcony, or beyond, without having to run back to the booth or resort to screen sharing. Lockable fade curves make it a breeze to ensure that your up-fades and down-fades are perfect mirror images of each other.
• Support for editing audio effects from collaboration remotes.

We’ve also added a better right-click menu in the waveform view of the Time & Loops tab, finite durations for Mic and Camera cues, new AppleScript and OSC commands, a whole mess of new lighting instrument definitions, and a bunch of network device definitions for the new version of Bitfocus Companion, the grandMA3, the Yamaha DM7 series, and others.

And of course, dozens of bug fixes to keep your shows running smoothly.

You can find the update inside QLab via “Check for updates” or download it directly from http://qlab.app

We hope you all enjoy, and thanks so much for using QLab!

Sam on behalf of the whole team at Figure 53

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a “collaboration remote “?

Thanks Sam! Is it just me, or are other people seeing this behavior: toggling on the integrated fade of an audio or video cue in 5.4 makes the audio waveform disappear. The waveform reappears when the integrated fade is toggled off.

[Chris Ashworth]

Hi Andy,

We haven’t seen that yet, nor heard other reports of it. 

Could you send us more details about your system at sup...@figure53.com please?

Thanks!

I can confirm I just saw what Andy's reporting, both with an audio cue and a video cue.  Not only does the waveform disappear, but so do any start/end time markers, the timeline indicators, slice markers/play counts, and the current position indicator.  I'll not make a 2nd report to support unless you'd like me to.

Seen a similar problem with waveforms today (not reproducible in the moment). Building up the wave form of a large audio cue (about 1h20 length) need more than 20s. MacBookPro 13'' M1 with latest Sonoma.

Hi Sstaub,

I think that’s probably just expected for very large audio files.

Hi Dannax,

Thanks!  This appears to be an issue with 5.4 running on macOS Monterey (it does not happen on later version of macOS)

We are investigating this bug now.

For what it's worth, I have an M1 Max Studio running Monterey 12.7.5 and QLab 5.4 and I CAN'T replicate the problem. (Nor could I in Monterey 12.7.2)

Interesting data!!

[micpool]

I also have a 14" M1 Max MacbookPro running Monterey. 

If I open QLab  from an external monitor integrated fades are normal, but if I drag the Qlab window to the built in display the waveform disappears and doesn't return if i drag it back again.
