You might have received an “Invalid trim” error message when trying to lift or extract a frame that is in a dissolve just before the edit. When working in 9-way MultiCam mode, after switching camera banks, mapped keys selected wrong camera angles. In some instances, Match frame fails on sequences directly loaded from the Interplay window. Performing a batch re-import of a sequence created a clip with the duration of the original master clip, not the shorter duration of the sequence.

Splice-in Segment tool broke track sync when Segment Drag Sync Locks was enabled in the Timeline Settings. When loading a sequence or a clip and instantly hitting play, the LTC out on Nitris DX did not output timecode.

When applying a Flop effect to a stereoscopic clip, the eyes were swapped also. In the rare occasion where you see artifacts, go to the Render Settings dialog and choose Disable GPU effects. With this release, changes have been made to greatly reduce the occurrence of artifacts appearing during playback or export.
