• Fix to be able to load ADR cue data from EdiCue PDFs containing editable fields

• Fix to load scene numbers correctly from PDF shooting script files that display the scene numbers in the left and right margins

• Character and Department IDs are now displayed with the length set in the production settings when set above 3 chars

macOS Catalina Support

Mark has told us that they are busy updating our applications for 64-bit. So far they have released EdiCue v3.1 which is not only 64-bit but also compatible with macOS Catalina.

They are still in the process of updating EdiPrompt, EdiLoad, EdiChart and EdiMarker for 64-bit. If you require a 64-bit version of one of these apps to run on macOS Catalina, please contact Sounds In Sync and we will let you know if we can provide you with a pre-release build.

In addition, until Avid release a version of Pro Tools that is fully qualified with this version of macOS, we cannot test all functions of our applications. For full details see their blog post.

Sounds In Sync recommend holding off with upgrading to macOS Catalina until Avid qualify a version of Pro Tools that is compatible.
