Cut Notes 2.5 is a significant update to our iPad app for taking timecode synced notes during a screening.

The biggest change in this version is that time-of-day timecode is no longer set from the New Project pane but instead is available from the Sync menu. This is a more logical place for it to reside and it also means you can now use time-of-day timecode when taking notes from Kollaborate comment streams.

Other changes include increasing the maximum visible button label length and preventing it overflowing if it's too long, plus improved compatibility with DaVinci Resolve when exporting marker EDLs.

The full list of changes is available here.

We've just updated our Avid Media Composer timecode sync plugin for Cut Notes to version 1.1.

Because Avid renders several frames ahead of playback we have to offset that in order to keep timecode in sync and you can now directly adjust the offset in the plugin settings window.

The full list of changes is as follows:

• Added a Playback Time Offset option in settings to offset the effect of Avid rendering several frames ahead of the current playback position. The option only applies during playback and is ignored when stopping or scrubbing.
• Improved responsiveness
• UI improvements
• Minor bug fixes
