Cut Notes 2.0.3 released - Kollaborate sync overhaul, auto-pause and more

We've just released Cut Notes 2.0.3, a minor update to our iPad note-taking app.

We've overhauled timecode and playback sync with Kollaborate and you will need to use this version to sync with the site from now on.

This is more of an under-the-hood change so there aren't many user-facing differences, however you now need to press sync in the browser first and then sync in Cut Notes. Another advantage is that you no longer need to be on the same network and it should be better at negotiating firewalls. It also paves the way for some great features in future.

We've also implemented Kollaborate live comments, which means that comments other users make in their web browsers, CinePlay or other copies of Cut Notes will appear instantly in the Notes view of your device.

Cut Notes now has the option to auto-pause playback when you type, allowing you to focus on what you're typing and not lose your place in the cut. This is supported in manual sync mode (no sync source) and any sync source that can control playback - Kollaborate, Final Cut Pro 7, Adobe Premiere CC and Adobe Audition. This setting is off by default and can be switched on under the Cut Notes section of the iOS Settings app.

These are the major features; you can read the full changelog here.

Cut Notes is an invaluable time-saving post production tool. To find out more, view the feature list, read the user manual or watch the overview video.
