Action

Convert images sequences to video

This action allows converting image sequences like EXR or PNG into small mp4 videos.
It is also possible to convert larger video files like MOV, AVI with ProRes or DNxHD into a proxy mp4 video. These videos can be used for reviews or dailies.

Just right-click on your sequence or video and select "Convert to Video".

You can also use the cogwheel to select settings like frame rate or location.

Git

With this update, we release a new version of Anchorpoint's Git integration.  The Git integration is a simple version control system designed for artists and compatible with any Git hosting provider.

Git in Anchorpoint includes easy one-click installation and full LFS support for large binaries. Above all, we focused on onboarding. Each artist only has to register once with their Git provider, and can then join the repositories assigned to them with just a few clicks.

The Git integration contains

  • A one click installation, including the LFS module
  • Basic functions like commit, push, pull and revert
  • Auto Fetch, Anchorpoint checks every minute if there are new commits in the repository
  • The possibility to work with local repositories (without server)
  • A command line prompt for quick troubleshooting with a tech-savvy team member
  • Credential Management. Anchorpoint uses the official Git Credential Manager to store passwords. This way, you only have to log in to the hosting provider once.

Additionally, we have fixed the following bugs and added UX improvements

  • Attributes can be deleted directly from the entry
  • Open with: for each file, you can select the application with which it should be opened.
  • Drag&Drop images from supported web browsers and chat applications is implemented
  • BUG: The folder dialog can handle the selected folder
  • BUG: Files are displayed again on network drives
  • BUG: Template System: You can navigate to the template location again
  • BUG: Fixed creating attributes loses focus on the text
