This release comes from extensive testing on editing, colour grading, sound, titles and captions, file formats and projects. The editing core also ran through long series of tests, including random edits. Colour grading was checked on real camera footage from ARRI and Sony and measured against reference charts. Below are the fixes that came out of it.

Colour

  • ALEXA ProRes is read through its real colour matrix and opens as Log C, as the camera's own tags say. It showed green before.
  • A qualifier limits a grade from the GUI: + Qualifier under Masks on the Colour tab, or a matte wire on a correction's new matte input. A matte dropped on a correction no longer replaces the picture.
  • Before/After shows at once, from the button, the key or the menu. The Colour page stays on the clip at the playhead, and a clip's right-click menu acts on the clip clicked.
  • Colour match aims its white balance at the reference's neutrals, matches saturation through its own node, and says when two shots differ so much that the match is only a rough start.
  • A mask track that loses its subject says where it stopped. The Colour tab's mask is a window on the grade, not a cutout.
  • Scopes and stills read only the picture, never what the viewer draws on it. A LUT node's bundled categories open in place.

Formats

  • JPEG, Targa, DPX and JPEG 2000 stills show, and MJPEG plays. H.264 High 4:4:4 decodes, in software.
  • A RED, Blackmagic RAW, ARRIRAW or Canon raw file is refused by name, with what to convert it to.
  • A 10-bit HEVC export says so when this computer's x265 encodes 8-bit only.

Editing

  • In and Out marks stay on the timeline, set an export's range, and are cleared by the Lift or Extract that uses them. The pieces a Lift or Extract splits stay linked to their own partners.
  • Insert Edit keeps each clip's sound under its picture. Trim Start and End trim linked sound and picture together. A trim takes the side grabbed at a cut; only the Trim tool rolls.
  • A dropped clip lands where it was let go, over what is on its track, and never lays its sound over another clip's sound.
  • Speed ramps split when a clip is cut, ramp the linked sound with them and come off in one step. Keep Pitch and speed keys are undo steps.
  • J shows the picture running back. Play at the end starts over. Sound plays from the playhead's sample after a seek.
  • Multicam ripple trims cut the same stretch from every angle.

Sound

  • Auto Duck finds the voice it ducks under, or says it found none. Export warns when music plays over speech at full level.
  • Audio effects move up and down their chain with their keyframes. A sound-only export is described as sound.

Titles, captions and interchange

  • Arabic is drawn from a font that joins it when the face lacks it. Italic and bold use the default font's own faces. A title still showing its template's stand-in text is flagged.
  • Each shown subtitle track embeds as its own stream, in its language. EBU-STL uses the character table its captions need. VTT keeps cue settings, and subtitle times are written to the millisecond.
  • FCPXML reads 29.97 and Final Cut's 25p at their length and carries to-do markers. Overlapping EDL events import onto tracks of their own.

First Cut, shorts and brand kits

  • First Cut tells a retake from sentences that open alike, cuts where speech pauses, and lays its music bed on its own track.
  • Shorts are made in one step, or none, inside the file they are cut from. Brand kits restyle titles in the brand's look and keep lower thirds clear of the destination's players.

Projects and media

  • Only media files are imported, opened or collected. Proxies show whether their file is still there, and survive a relink to the same content. Collect refuses a project with used media offline, and says so.
  • Saving and the unsaved check cost less on a large project, and a saved project stays saved as analysis comes in.
  • Subtitle and camera sidecar reads are capped in size, and XML nested too deeply is refused before it is read.

Known issues

  • Klipp has not yet been tested end to end on AMD or Intel GPUs.
  • The input colour space is set on the Edit page only, not the Colour page. The film print LUTs don't say what kind of picture they expect.
  • 10-bit and 12-bit HEVC 4:4:4 files decode with the wrong colour matrix.
  • 8K HEVC at about 2.7 Gbit/s drops frames on playback, and AV1 at 3.4 Gbit/s doesn't play, without saying why.
  • ALEXA MXF files carry no colour tags Klipp can read: set Log C by hand.
