  • Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking on the input selector of a track with a missing input (PT-235170)
  • Fixed an issue where a session would not allow saving after importing from another session (PT-246990)

Field Recorder

  • Fixed an issue where field recorder files would end up with incorrect or missing channel names after being transcoded to MXF by Media Composer and sent to Pro Tools (PT-243234/PT-236893)
  • Field recorder files with non-adjacent channel numbers will now correctly spot on the timeline (PT-242878)
  • Fixed an issue where expanding field recorder matches could expand onto the wrong tracks with incorrect edits (PT-241375)

Import

  • Importing session data from a session, with automation breakpoints beyond the bounds of the destination session, will now drop those breakpoints upon import, preventing downstream issues (PT-236508)
  • 5.1 and 7.1 BWAV exports from Media Composer will once again import as surround clips, rather than mono channels.  Exports must be done with Media Composer 2018.10 and up. (PT-246035)
