Non-Lethal Applications, creators of video playback and dialogue cueing and recording solutions for Mac, announce the successor of Video Slave 4 and ADR Master 1, offering new features, improvements and bug fixes

Video Slave becomes Video Sync

The name ‘Video Slave’ was originally chosen using established ‘Master’ & ‘Slave’ Post-Production terminology, to denote the fact that the software chases timecode from a Mastersystem supplying it. In this version they have decided to permanently rename ‘Video Slave’ to ’Video Sync’ with this new release.

Version Independent New Features

• Pro Tools | Satellite Link support - Video Sync and ADR Master now integrate seamlessly with Pro Tools through Avid’s Satellite Link protocol - either on the same, or a separate ethernet connected computer.

• Dual playback - Users can now playback two video streams simultaneously in either A/B, side-by-side or picture-in-picture modes.

• Uniform and refined dark UI - The app’s user interface was fine-tuned and a dark version is now used for both Video Sync and ADR Master. To make working with text easier, ADR Master still provides a light background for areas where text information is shown.

• Slim media bin view for easier organisation - To better organise media files in the Media bin, users can now choose between a detailed and slim view.

• Support for iLok network licenses and iLok Cloud - Video Sync and ADR Master licenses now support iLok network licenses and also iLok Cloud for Perpetual licenses.

• Comprehensive PDF manual - Ideal for offline use, both apps now contain a comprehensive PDF manual covering all aspects of the software

ADR Master 2

• Importing events from/export events to new Timed Text Authoring Lineage( TTAL) format, developed by Netflix - Non-Lethal Applications is proud to be one of the first companies to support the new Timed Text Authoring Lineage file format developed by Netflix with ADR Master 2. The format is aimed to make data exchange between Netflix and their partners easier.2

• Excel file export - ADR Master can now also export Excel files.

• Rich text/text formatting support throughout the app - ADR Master now supports text formatting throughout the app to add advanced text functionality such as bold, underline, italic, strikethrough, text & colour. Word and Excel files can be imported without the cues losing their text formatting. Files exported as PDF or Excel files will also preserve the text formatting information.

• Improved event filtering with optional adjacent cues - To help actor performance include a definable number of adjacent cues before and after each line when filtering by character for example.

• Extended ADR Cue Reasons - The ADR Cue reasons available in ADR Master have been thoroughly redesigned Reasons are now organized in several categories. In addition to the reasons in ADR Master, there are now up to eight user reasons per project.
