Hey Michael,
The flickering issue is new with this latest release. We haven’t seen it before, though we don’t use Creative Review frequently enough to rule out earlier occurrences.
Regarding the playback in context issue: cuts are uploaded via the Import Cut Tool in RV, and Versions are uploaded manually to ShotGrid through the New Version form, using SG’s standard transcoder.
Steps to reproduce: I opened a playlist in Creative Review, then selected the latest editorial version on the “No Context” selector, and nothing would load.
UPDATE: while writing this, I left the tab in the background for a bit, and it loaded the editorial cut. When refreshing it took about 20 seconds to load without much feedback from the app, which is confusing and unpredictable.
However, this comes with an error: it doesn’t play at the correct framerate (it plays at 23.976fps regardless of the cut’s or version’s actual framerates of 25fps).
Here’s the info for that cut:
And the playlist versions:
Thanks again
