iOS App: cineSync on the Go

You can now download a brand new iOS app compatible with cineSync 5. The app lets you quickly jump into review sessions while on the move or away from your computer directly from your iOS device. Here's what you can do with the app:

✓ Join cineSync 5 review sessions as a guest.

✓ Play media files and draw annotations in sync with other participants.

✓ Browse the session playlist.

cineSync automatically transfers any files for review via its Flow Production Tracking, ftrack, iconik, AWS, and other integrated file transfer options. (cineSync Pro accounts only.)

For those moments when you can't access a desktop or laptop, our iOS app provides a convenient and accessible alternative.

Please note that the app is designed for review guests and cannot be used to create or host reviews.

Password Protected Reviews: Security is our constant focus

In addition to our unique, per-review Session Keys, file encryption, auto-deletion, and watermarking options, you can now also add a Password to any review.

Once a password is added, guests will need to know both the unique session key and the password to access reviews.

Navigating through your cineSync session media just got much easier with our new visual timeline. This feature displays thumbnails of the media being played, such as files, sequences, and OTIO sequences. This allows you to:

✓ View thumbnails throughout a single clip or across a sequence of clips.

✓ Quickly identify sections you want to play without scrubbing through the entire clip.

This makes it much simpler to pinpoint individual clips during sequence playback and review precisely what you need, enhancing your overall review experience.

Other tweaks and improvements

Retain Flow Production Tracking list order: When importing a playlist from Flow Production Tracking, cineSync now retains the defined list order. This ensures that your carefully curated playlist maintains its intended sequence during reviews.
