2.1 版本说明

发布日期： 15th May 2024

在 Cavalry 2.0.3 在 新版本 中打开时将会被转换 2.1.0. The file will be copied to a new scene which will need saving – you’ll notice the legacy scene will be named <yourSceneName> [Converted].cv on opening. Any scenes saved in 2.1.0 onwards will not be fully compatible with any previous versions of Cavalry.

增强

标题为“增强”的章节
  • Loading video Assets is now much faster in many cases.
  • The Camera tool now includes a ‘Dolly’ hotkey.
  • The Time Editor now auto-scrolls when marquee selecting Keyframes/Clips outside of its current view.
  • The Import Google Sheet… dialogue has been visually improved.
  • Loading Google Sheet Assets is now multi-threaded meaning multiple Assets will now load concurrently and no longer block interactions while calling the data from Google’s API.
  • When duplicating a Composition in the Assets Window, Guides are now also duplicated.
  • The Timeline now displays a timecode ruler when the Frame Indicator is in that mode.
  • Dynamic Rendering - The Number of Renders attribute is now Dynamic Range meaning ranges can be set per RQI and it’s now possible (with scripting) to render an arbitrary set of sequences.
  • A modal window now warns of any missing fonts when loading a Scene.
  • Missing fonts are now marked as such in the Attribute Editor.
  • It’s now possible to delete all selected Render Queue Items in the Render Manager.
  • It’s now possible to delete the active Composition from the Assets Window. Note that if the Composition that becomes the new active Composition is within an hierarchy, it will be moved up to the root level (this needs improving!).

  • New Circular generator type in the Color Window.
  • The Value Array can now output the total of all its values.

  • The <frame> Render Token is now working again.
  • View > Draw Outside Composition Boundary is now working again.
  • Shapes that have been manually connected as Bodies to a Forge Dynamics Shape now show the correct UI when opening their settings (cog icon). Note that this bug will still occur when making the connection via the pop up menu in the Scene Tree.
  • An empty Sub-String String Manipulator crash is now resolved.
  • A crash using a Transition String Manipulator with Transition from End is now resolved.
  • Fixed a crash when right clicking certain areas of a Text Shape in edit mode.
  • The length() API member function is now working as expected.
  • The Footage Shape now correctly reads the dimensions from images within an Image Smart Folder.
  • The Time Editor no longers becomes vertically misaligned after undoing the Pre-Compose Selection action.

说明

标题为“说明”的章节
  • The Quick Add Window is now called the Add Layers Window and included as part of the default Workspace.
  • Audio Smart Folders and Image Smart Folders are now limited to a maximum depth of 5 sub directories.
  • The new Blending and Opacity Mode for a Group may change the appearance of some legacy Scenes in certain edge cases. Try switching to Artboard from the default Individual Layers mode if this is the case for you.

API 变更

标题为“API 变更”的章节
  • A Time Marker’s Color attribute has been updated to Draw Color Id. The scripting path has also been changed from drawColor to drawColorId and now accepts a number. Any scripts that use this path should be updated to be compatible with Cavalry 2.1 and above. See the createTimeMarker example.
