Bug Fixes

• We fixed a bug that prevented the Thundercloud Sync service from starting and stopping correctly during nightly server maintenance plans. 
• We corrected an issue that prevented users from leveraging the Merge Selected option in the AVCHD Import window.

JVC Import Menu

We've expanded our JVC Import options to include a menu for .mp4 file import. This new menu leverages the same window used for AVCHD Import. This allows users to import all clips as a single master edit or group clips as separate edits. 

AVCHD Import Menu Updates 

We've made a few updates to AVCHD window. 

We've added a slider that allows you to adjust the size of the list view. 

We've added a Tile View that provides a larger thumbnail preview. 

We've removed the requirement that all clips in the preview window must be within a grouped edit prior to import. Users will now be warned if they have clips that are not grouped within an edit. If they proceed those clips will be ignored during import.
