New Features
TImeline Sharing
Enhanced reliability of update process when opening and playing movies on the review computer.
Row colors of original timeline are displayed on the reviewing computer timeline.
Double clicking on the file package opens up the timeline share file on the review computer. Previously, the package contents needed to be opened and then timeline share file opened.
NOTE: This procedure looks in the package and opens the first timeline found. If there is an existing timeline that is not a timeline share, this file will be opened. SInce the timeline share feature is used while capturing, a proper timeline file is not written in the package until the capture is ended, so this will likely not happen. Only the Timeline_share file is written in the package during capture.
Timeline share edit list preference created in the application preferences under the labels panel. The directory can be set by clicking the Choose button and targeting the directory where the file will be written. The frequency of which the file is updated can be set to occur every N seconds. The file name that is written is called "Capture Edit List".
Sorter Window
The instance note column text can be turned off or on to display its data in the overlay on the movie by clicking on the balloon in the column header. When the balloon has a red line through it, the text will not be displayed in the movie.
Sorter, Statistical, and Labels Tree window
Font size, color, bold and italic properties can be changed for selected groups of cells. Select multiple rows by holding down COMMAND or SHIFT or select all cells by pressing COMMAND+A, then choose the font property in the window's toolbar. All the selected cells will change except the time reference column.
Timeline Timecode
The timeline timecode can be altered by right clicking on the timeline timecode counter above the row column in the timeline window. Right clicking on the counter will reveal a pop up menu, these are the options:
Use movie time, this option displays standard movie time hh:mm:ss:hshs. The hs is hundredths of seconds.
Use timecode, this option displays timecode in terms of 24 hour time as in the time of day. The numbers will be displayed in blue. This is useful for setting the time of day of an event, so the ability to when an instance occurred. NOTE: Changing the counter to display this might show the time at which the capture was done. This can be read from the camera or capture hardware that is connected. Be sure to set the camera time, so the correct time is captured. Presenting, breaking the timecode up segments along the timeline is not possible. The timecode will roll over to 00:00:00.00 when the playhead is dragged past 23:59:59.99. This means the playhead was dragged past midnight.
Set movie time to zero, this option resets the movie time to 00:00:00.00 according to the location of the playhead. The time will be displayed in red when the numbers are "negative" or the playhead is set before the new zero point.
Set TimeCode, this option reveals a menu from the timeline title bar. The time can be set here
Delete TimeCode track, this option removes the timecode track. It can be re-added by using the Set TimeCode function, but the original one that may have been done during capture cannot be brought back.
Use frames for TimeCode, this option will display the hundredths of seconds in frames.
Use seconds for TimeCode, this option will display the timecode to the hundredths of seconds.
A new preference has been added in movies panel of the preferences, Use timecode produced from capturing device. When this is ticked, a timecode track will be created in the movie from the data that the device is outputting. Remember to set the correct time on the camera or device that is being used to capture from.
Imports
New Champion data import options added:
Merge overlapping instances. In the case of player events that happen in quick succession, this option will merge the instances, so they become one. Better for viewing longer passages of play. If this is ticked, the matrix may not display the expected statistical output. Remember the matrix is an instance counter, not a label counter. Untick this if better statistics are needed in the matrix.
Don't include duplicate labels when merging instances. This option will drop duplicate labels when merging instances. Multiple labels in one instance can lead to erroneous statistical output when using the statistical window on a timeline. This option is only used in specific cases.
Translations
New Japanese translations added.
Miscellaneous
A new button has been added to the dongle registration dialog, Switch registration method. Pressing this button will allow the user to set the proper registration method, Online or Dongle. Many users get stuck in dongle mode and do not remember the way to switch back to online mode, especially when they do not own a dongle or know what one is. The alternate way is to hold down the ESC key and launch the application from the dock.
label command added to count labels in instances in the timeline. Current statistical windows may need to be updated with this new command if count "labelA" where row = "rowname" is being used. Using count "labelA" where row = "rowname" will count instances where "labelA" exists. Replace this with count label "labelA" where row = "rowname", this will count the labels in the instances. This is helpful when there are duplicate labels in the instances.
LABEL will return a label in the timeline or row. If an instance has 3 matching labels it will return 3.
count label "Good" returns the total number of "Good" labels in the front timeline.
count label "Rob" and "Good" where row = "Effort" returns the total number of "Rob" labels where "Good" was also found in the instance in the row named "Effort".
Stack movie switching hotkeys. Hotkeys that switch stack movie zooming can set in the movie preferences panel. These hotkeys will override any code / label hotkeys set in the code window. Pressing the same button twice in a row will zoom or un-zoom the stack.

Edit rows names with the edit instance movie window is open.

Instance Adjustments remembers last settings.
Movie windows show first frame when transparency is increased.
Update live edit list timing has been enhanced
XML has been updated to insert label group information in a tag. Old files using tag for group still works.

New Features:
We are very excited to announce that we have overhauled our stack movie feature. The stack can now be zoomed in a timeline, instance, or full screen movie. By simply holding down OPTION+COMMAND and clicking on the view you want to zoom, all other views will be hidden until you zoom back out.
Here is how it works.
To zoom in a single view in a stack movie, press down OPTION+COMMAND and double click on the view. This view will become the dominant view.
To zoom out back to the stack, press OPTION+COMMAND and double click on the zoomed in view.
This works for timeline movies and instance movies in both a movie window and full screen.
For an instance movie with chapter marks...
If the movie is playing and it is zoomed in or out, the movie time jumps to the previous chapter marker.
If the movie is stopped and it is zoomed in or out, the movie only changes view and does not jump to an chapter marker.
For an instance movie without chapter marks or a timeline movie...
If the movie is playing and it is zoomed in or out, the playhead does not jump back 10 seconds.
If the movie is stopped and it is zoomed in or out, the movie only changes view and the playhead does not jump back 10 seconds.
To move views in a stack movie...
Press COMMAND and click & drag on the view to move the location of the view.
To change stack format...
Press COMMAND+CTRL on the stack movie and choose the format.
A new icon has been added to the movie windows. This icon unzooms a zoomed stacked movie.
Enhanced movie linking searching and added search feedback window, so the user knows what is going on in the search process. This is extremely important to users saving movie organizers and sorter windows on a networked server.
Movie link searching now searches 12 folders deep as opposed to 7 folders. This will help where deep folder structures are in place for the organization.
Bug Fixes:
Clicking in an empty area of the code window while code mode was initiated would stop the timeline movie from updating the display while the timeline appeared to be playing.
Button clicking delays on first click after code mode is initiated.
Timeline movie jumps while in code mode when a statistical window is open and auto updating its calculations plus populating the button window with data. The jump was especially noticeable when a button with lag time was counting down.
Improvements exiting from full screen, COMMAND+Q initiates normal quit procedure and ESC has been made more reliable when playing demanding movies like a stack movie.
The edit title box for the matrix window has been fixed, so text can be inputted for printing.
Click and drag in the matrix has been fixed when COMMAND+C was pressed to copy the selection. Pressing COMMAND+C would clear the Matrix.
Enhanced timeline file error checking when timeline is opened.

Bug Fixes:
The instance note line setting in the timeline was not creating instance movies with the proper amount of lines in SportsCode Pro.
Find and replace when Case sensitive and Match whole word are ticked, the replace would not update the information in a code or timeline window until the window had been closed and reopened.
Updated message display for Sorter window when movie is missing. The original full path is displayed in the message.
Pre version 6.5 movie organizer files not being recognized in SportsCode software.
Capture window file data bar appears over code window periodically during capture and code process.
ESC key fixed when closing an edit row window in the timeline. This bug happened when a code window was open. Pressing ESC closes the window when editing the name or color of the row. ENTER advances the window to next row below.
Copy and paste button names in the edit button properties window. This was not pasting the name correctly.
Overlay text visibility settings are saved in the movie when instance movies are saved as a standalone or reference file.
Using the new delete preferences option under the SportsCode menu was not setting the file permissions correctly. These are now set to Read & Write for Group and Everyone.
Code Matrix Organizer file saving now saves without always opening the save as dialog.
Label mode works correctly when playhead is set anywhere after the second instance in a selection of instances.
New Features:
Movie organizer tick boxes re-implemented. When a row is ticked, the instances in the row will be made in the instance movie when the make movie button is pressed.
Code button short cut keys are searched for across multiple open code windows. This was added to help those users employing multiple coders while using the remote communications features. We recommend breaking up large windows with 100's of buttons into smaller more focused windows. Each coder will code using a button window more focused on the aspect of the event for which they are tasked.
When the labels tree for a timeline or movie organizer is empty, a message will appear that reads "The labels tree is empty", press ok, then an empty labels tree will open with 5 blank rows.

We have done our best to rewrite the Quicktime procedures to help the combinations. Please contact us immediately if you have problems with this. We are trying to track down all situations where this error happens.
Extremely small instances caused crash when instances are located after the first combined movie.
Grouping levels fixed for Pro and Elite in the Labels Tree. Pro allows 0 grouping. Elite has one level of grouping. The group is set as the label one level up from the last label in the tree. Any other labels proceeding the last label will be branches in the tree used only for organization.
Custom times for picture row in movie organizer now set correctly. You can find these from the right click menu.
Custom times for drawing window export to the movie organizer.
Multiple labels can be added to one instance. Delete labels using edit instance labels window.
Option click and drag on statistical window row will duplicate the row including cell content and scripts inside cells.
Movie generation is slow in version 7 due to new features in movie such as chapter markers, label information, and text overlay. To create a movie faster we added the ability to strip these features to make the process faster. Select the instances in the timeline and hold down CONTROL and click on the make movie button.
Press COMMAND+CONTROL+OPTION and double click on a movie in a stacked movie instance. This will play that frame in full screen from the location of the playhead in the instance movie.

Upgrading to Leopard from Tiger
03/12/07 20:59
When you
upgrade your operating system from Tiger (Mac OS X
10.4) to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) using the archive
and upgrade option, you may find that your SportsCode
system may crash when you launch it after the OS
upgrade. This crash occurs because the upgrade
replaces some necessary frameworks to run SportsCode
or SportsCode Gamebreaker.
You can either download the latest release version and install it or download the frameworks installer from the Drivers area in the Downloads section of this site.

Updates and new features:
New linking options for Sorter and Movie Organizer.
New movie searching features for Sorter and Movie Organizer. The Sorter and Movie Organizer will find linked movies when the movies have been relocated. It searches the folder where the file resides for the movies first. Then, searches the file path that it was originally made using. Then, searches the volume the file is on. (It ignores folders: Applications, Library, System, and Developer). Then, searches all connected volumes networked, USB, or firewire.
The process will search 6 folders deep in these locations. We plan to make this a preference in the near future.
Better Spaces functionality in Leopard.

SportsCode Version 7 is ready to go and Leopard compatible
06/11/07 03:06
Sportstec is excited to announce the release of
SportsCode version 7! This version is packed with new
features for Elite, Elite Review, Pro, Pro Review,
and Player.
A few of the new features are:
Stack and merge timelines - A new tweak on splice instance movies, create multiple angles of video in one movie window.
Sorter window - Use new label grouping options to sort instances by frequency, name, or movie time. Add instance notes, edit label information, or change instance start and end times, then sync updates back to the timeline.
Code output - Drive statistical information into the code window, change colors of buttons, and push buttons up or down using scripts that read information from the timeline.
Statistical scripts - A new set of statistical commands that can derive complex numerical analysis from data in the timeline.
Client / Server communications - Control multiple client computers capture and code processes. Code from multiple remote computers to central capture location. This feature extends beyond the local area network to the internet, so it is possible to code across the world.
Label mode - Add or subtract labels in the instances of a timeline using the code window. Each instance is set to loop, so they can be reviewed and labelled very quickly before moving on to the next one.
Label tree - A new approach to the master labels list, label trees create a hierarchical menu that branches out horizontally to make menu selections faster and more organized.
Apple and Commando remote - New customization options for the Apple and Commando remotes.
Movie Organizer - The Elite movie organizer is now available in Pro.
There are literally hundreds of changes in this version. It is Leopard & Tiger compatible and will run on both Intel and PowerPC Macs.
This version requires a V7 registration code. If you do not have a V7 registration code, please contact your regional Sportstec representative. Version 7 is a chargeable upgrade unless you have purchased the software in the last 12 month or you on a current support commitment.
You can download version 7 from the Downloads section. This is a single download for Elite, Elite Review, Pro, Pro Review, and Player. The registration code will unlock the appropriate features for each level of software.
This download does not include the manual. The manual will be available in English in the coming weeks. Due to so many new features and changes in functionality, the manual has been a total rewrite. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This version is for English only. We are working on the software and menu translations now. We expect the translations to be completed in a few weeks.
Please stay tuned to the website on a regular basis. Since Apple released Leopard only last week, we expect that we will continue to find small bugs until the new operating system settles down.
