Today we released
Cut Notes 1.1, a significant update to our note-taking app for the iPad.
The biggest change in this version is Final Cut Pro synchronization. You can now sync your Final Cut Pro 6 or 7 timeline over wi-fi and have the timecode display in Cut Notes update automatically as you play or scrub in FCP. You can even use the play button in Cut Notes to remotely control playback.
We've also qualified it for iOS 5 compatibility, so we recommend updating before using it on the new operating system due tomorrow.
A notable change from previous versions is that the Hold button has been removed. Holding is now achieved by tapping the timecode as it is playing, causing it to freeze and turn blue. Tap it once more to unhold.
Final Cut Pro sync requires a wi-fi connection to your Mac. If you have problems setting it up, make sure that you are connected to the same network as the Mac via wi-fi. This will not work over Bluetooth or cellular networks. If your Mac isn't connected to a wi-fi network, you can create a Computer-to-Computer network by going to Airport and then Create Network. You can then connect directly to your Mac from the iPad.
For more details on setting up FCP sync, please see the
user manual.
We've listened to the feedback of our users and this is just one of many updates we are planning in the near future. Stay tuned.
