OpenReview v1.3.0 - Production Release 🚀

OpenReview is a studio-grade VFX sequence playback, HDR color inspection, multi-source compositing comparison, and collaborative dailies review desktop workstation application.

Highlights in v1.3.0:

  • Live Real-Time Waveform Monitor (hud_waveform.py): Added dedicated Waveform HUD supporting RGB Overlay, RGB Parade, and Luma (Y) trace modes with phosphor intensity glow and broadcast graticule scale.
  • Live Real-Time Vectorscope Monitor (hud_vectorscope.py): Added dedicated Vectorscope HUD displaying chrominance (Cb, Cr) signals, Rec.709 75%/100% color targets, I-axis / skin-tone line, and trace accumulation.
  • Generic Standard Colorspaces Catalog (standard_colorspaces.py): Integrated Foundry Nuke-aligned transfer functions and curves for linear, sRGB, rec709, Cineon, Gamma 1.8, Gamma 2.2, Panalog, REDLog, ViperLog, REDSpace, and Raw.
  • Intelligent Auto Colorspace Detection: Automatic identification of color spaces from file metadata, camera header tags (RED, ARRI, Sony S-Log), and container attributes with fallback heuristics.
  • Per-Clip Colorspace Assignment & Persistence: Dropdown selector in Sources panel to override input color space per media item, persisted seamlessly across sessions.
  • Adaptive Playback & Scrubbing Engine: Dynamic proxy downsampling (InteractiveDecodeTask) for butter-smooth, drop-free playback and scrubbing across 4K/8K media, instantly upgrading to pristine full-resolution upon pausing or resting.
  • Asynchronous Dual-Queue & Cooperative Cancellation: Non-blocking reader engine with CancellationToken preventing queue backpressure during rapid JKL bidirectional transport.
  • Dedicated Frame Rate Dialog ( rame_rate_dialog.py): Sleek keyboard-first floating modal for selecting playback FPS with standard VFX preset pills (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 48, 50, 59.94, 60), direct numerical entry, and Ctrl+Alt+R hotkey.
  • Per-Media Premultiplied Alpha Control: Per-clip premultiplication toggle with auto-detection for transparent PNG/EXR graphics.
  • Per-Media Annotation Stashing: Vector drawings and notes are automatically stashed and restored per source clip across session switches.
  • Optimized PNG-8 Palette Export: High-performance PNG export pipeline with PNG-8 quantized palette mode, configurable Floyd-Steinberg dithering, and multithreaded compression.
  • Automatic Downscaling (> Full HD): Delivery preference and export dialog option to automatically downscale 4K/8K images to Full HD (1920x1080) for rapid client previews and review sheets.
  • New Shortcuts & Navigation: Added Export Annotations (Ctrl+Shift+E), Fit Width (W / Shift+W / Alt+W), and protected viewer zoom-scroll against accidental trackpad triggers.
