Release notes

Videos and images in your every-event lineups and templates now reliably reach Cloutal Media, and a sync icon shows where each one stands.

• A lineup or template whose videos and images never reached Cloutal Media, for example one synced by an earlier version, now sends them on the next sync, even if you haven't changed it.
• Reset Sync no longer replaces your lineup with an older copy from Cloutal Media that is missing its media. Your copy goes up instead.
• Media uploads cope better with slow venue Wi-Fi. Files go up in small pieces, and a piece that drops is tried again automatically.
• A file that doesn't upload stays waiting and is tried again on every sync until it is on Cloutal Media. The other files still go up.
• A sync icon beside each every-event lineup, in the lineup header and the lineup menu, and beside each template in Overlay Layout: synced, waiting to sync, syncing ("Uploading 2 of 4 files…"), a problem, or signed out or offline.
• A problem shows in amber with the reason, such as a file that is missing or failed to upload. Click it to open Settings › Cloutal Media.
• A file over Cloutal Media's size limit stays on this Mac, and Cloutal Live says so.

Media for your every-event lineups and templates now syncs to your Cloutal Media account, plus template fixes, quicker lineup moves and a live Next Up preview.

• History lists each event once. Pulling an album again opens its event and brings it up to date, instead of adding another copy.
• Template pickers name the template each choice gives, like "Event default (US)". If a lineup uses a template that isn't on this Mac, the picker says Missing template and shows the one standing in.
• Apply to All Lineups in This Event (in Overlay Layout and Lineup settings) puts one template on every lineup in the event, for example to switch the whole event between US and International. It asks first.
• Right-click an item for Move to Top and Move to Bottom. Edit › Undo moves it back.
• Copy to makes a new item and keeps the original where it was. The app says where the copy went.
• Next Up shows the live camera under the overlay by default, as a small preview that is light on your Mac. Click Live preview to turn it off.
• Every-event lineups and templates sync to your Cloutal Media account with their videos, images and logos, so every Mac signed in to your studio gets them. This no longer depends on which album is open.
• Settings › Cloutal Media shows how much media is synced and the progress of each file. Reset Sync… syncs again from the start without deleting anything on Cloutal Media.
• What syncs and what stays on your Mac: every-event lineups and templates go up to Cloutal Media, and Event Data lineups come down from it. This event's lineups, single items kept for every event, and items you add to an Event Data lineup stay on this Mac. See Help › What Syncs to Cloutal Media.

Colour wheels and a full colour grade, in a Colour window with a large live preview.

• Three colour wheels for Shadows, Midtones and Highlights, each with its own brightness slider.
• A full basic grade beside them: Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks; Temperature, Tint, Saturation and Vibrance, which protects skin and colours that are already strong; and Sharpness. Your LUT still applies.
• Production › Colour… (⌥⌘C) opens the Colour window: grade while watching a large live picture of the camera, at full frame rate.
• Compare as you go: Graded, Original and Split show before and after, with a line you drag in Split. Hold \ to see the original for a moment.
• An RGB parade under the picture shows the red, green and blue levels.
• Changes reach Program only when you press Apply. Until then the window is a preview, and stream and recordings keep the grade they had. Cancel asks before throwing changes away.
• Double-click a slider or a wheel to reset it; each group has its own Reset. Settings › Video › Colour shows the grade that is on Program, with Open Colour….
• The item editor's lock now reads Keep for Every Event, as in the right-click menu and the lineup.

This version is no longer available for download.

A clearer Terms of Service screen, a sign-in that stays, and syncing that never waits for another Mac.

• The Terms of Service screen shows the full Cloutal Live Terms in the app, like Cloutal Tether's agreement window: read them, tick "I have read and agree", then Accept and Continue.
• Links to the Terms now go to cloutal.com/terms-live.
• Your Cloutal Media sign-in is kept: Cloutal Live renews it by itself and no longer signs you out after a night away or a brief network problem.
• When you are signed out, Cloutal Live stops pulling Event Data, and shows that what is on screen is the copy on this Mac.
• Overlays and saved lineups sync even when another Mac has them open. If someone else changed one you changed too, Cloutal Live asks: replace theirs with yours, keep theirs, or save yours as a copy.
• Your settings stay as you left them after quitting and after updates: video source and format, colour, audio inputs, recording options, folder and backups, stream key, Team Voice and your album.
• The capture card you chose comes back by itself at launch. If it isn't plugged in yet, colour bars hold its place until it is.
• New recordings are named {#}-{Name}-{Entry Title}-{Category} by default. A name pattern you changed is kept.
• Where recordings go on Cloutal Media is set in one place: Settings › Cloutal Media. Pause and resume uploads from the Cloutal Media card on the main window.
• Opening an event from another album asks before recordings start uploading to that album.

This version is no longer available for download.

Cloutal Live asks you to agree to its Terms of Service and to enter a key or start a free trial when you first open it.

• On first launch you agree to the Cloutal Live Terms of Service before anything else. When the Terms change, you are asked again.
• Then enter your key, or start a 14-day free trial, to open Cloutal Live. Type the key in three groups after CLS-, or paste the whole key into any of them.
• Buy a Key opens the Cloutal Live store.
• License… in the app menu shows your key, the Macs using it, and lets you change it later. The Terms of Service are in the Help menu.
• Keys that come with your Cloutal Media plan work the same way.
• Signing in to Cloutal Media: give the code Cloutal Live shows to your studio owner, who approves this Mac in Cloutal Media › Co-creators. The request now carries the Mac's name so they know which one it is.
• Title cards show the event's name once, and an event pulled from an album is named after the album.
• Title cards can be renamed (right-click › Rename…), and title cards, videos and images you add to an album's Event Data lineup stay after the next sync.
• Insert a Saved Lineup puts it right below the selected item (or at the end, if you choose that), and Edit › Undo takes it out again.
• A saved lineup that is on Cloutal Media shows the cloud even when the network is down; only one still waiting to upload says so.

This version is no longer available for download.

Cloutal Live: one album for everything, and lists you can export.

• The app is now called Cloutal Live.
• The menu under the title lists your Cloutal Media albums and the lists on this Mac. Only one is selected at a time: an album drives uploads and Event Data; a list on this Mac works offline.
• Choosing another album asks first: Switch Album keeps the lineup on screen, and Switch and Pull Event Data brings in the album's lineup. Recordings already waiting to upload finish in the album they were made for.
• Every event and lineup is marked Cloutal Media or On this Mac, and Cloutal Media items say when they can't be reached or aren't synced yet.
• Export This List saves the lineup as a CSV that opens in Excel, Numbers and Cloutal Tether; Open a List brings one back. The last 5 lists the app saves on its own stay in On this Mac.
• The caller shows as online steadily while they are calling.
• About Cloutal Live lists the open-source software it uses, including Google's WebRTC.

This version is no longer available for download.

The first build of Cloutal Live to download.

• Run a live show from one Mac: import the running order from Excel or CSV, take each entry on screen with Space, and stream to YouTube while every entry records to its own file.
• Overlays fill themselves from the lineup — numbers, names and titles — and the layout editor designs lower thirds and title cards.
• Recordings upload into your Cloutal Media galleries, with your studio's intro and outro added. The studio owner chooses them in Settings › Cloutal Media or in Cloutal Media itself.
• Saved lineups and overlay templates sync to every Mac on your team, and a saved lineup can be inserted into the lineup on screen.
• Right-click a lineup entry to move or copy it to another lineup.
• Dark mode, a second backup drive, and a 14-day free trial.
