Major Improvements and Fixes
Caution
|
Please note that working with the AVID DNxHD/HR video codec now requires the additional purchase of a codec license and installation of a separate plug-in. For details, please contact the Cinegy Sales Team. |
Note
|
Cinegy Type is considered a legacy solution, and starting from Cinegy Desktop v25.3, support for CG templates created in Cinegy Type is disabled by default. If there is a critical need to use existing Cinegy Type templates, please contact Cinegy Support to explore the possibility of importing the templates in the current Cinegy Desktop version. This fallback option will no longer be available in the next major version. |
