Known issues

Text Overlay posts to the wrong clip frames

Text Overlay displays 1-2 clip frames later than the frame when you set it. This is easiest to spot when you choose "Auto-pause video" from the Timing options:

Time removed from the end of long captures

When a long capture, such as for a full-length practice, is terminated, up to 30 seconds of footage at the end of the file is not processed. Captures should be run an extra 30 seconds to be safe.

Cannot directly update old PC builds from desktop

Due to a bug in the installer, an error appears on PC upon trying to update from a desktop shortcut of an older build, not opened in several months. The message says something along the lines of "Unable to start the application. Contact the application vendor for assistance."

From here, the user may uninstall+reinstall, using Add or Remove Programs. 

Or users can create a shortcut from the actual app inside its folder by following the steps below:

1. typing %appdata% into the search bar

2. clicking back on appdata to get out of the Roaming folder, then navigating to Apps → 2.0 → two sets of number/letter combinations:

3. Finding the most recent folder entitled "syne..app"

4. Finding the Application inside:

In this release...

Invisible Tagging Template

Undock the tagging template and make the background transparent to tag directly on top of full-screen video.

Many softball games could not cache in advance. Clips displayed initially with a red underline to indicate they were not cacheable, and then ultimately would playback from online and cache permanently as they played.

Right-click clip editing

Right click on a Custom Edit clip to adjust Title, Notes, or Text Overlay:

Improved playback when trimming

Improved the playback logic when trimming clips and playing back trimmed clips.

Comprehensive Synergy Timeline rows

Max Editor Releases: 11.3.6.40 PC | 11.3.56.40 Mac

In this release...

Composite Matrix view

Right-click when more than one edit is selected to retrieve a temporary edit with a composite Matrix view. This edit may be saved permanently as a Custom Edit.

Restored ability to rewind across clips

In clip-to-clip playback, rewinding stops when the start of a clip is cued. Then, press the rewind button or hotkey an extra time to go back through the previous clip, in case you wanted to look at something again quickly and didn't react until a new clip started playing.

Playback corrected for trimmed clips

Clips that had a Trimmed In Point and not a Trimmed Out Point were not playing at the right length in the Web Player.

Improved offline sync from Export

Clips were not syncing to the cloud properly if they had been added offline to an edit file that was exported on a different device.

Known issues

Timeline Playlist View clips sometimes appear out of order

Clips in Playlist View for Synergy timelines sometimes appear out of order, most commonly for JuCo games.

Missing Synergy tags for games with no online PBP

Synergy tags do not display for games that have been Synergy logged, but that do not have online box scores available for consultation.

Text Overlay posts to the wrong clip frame

Text Overlay displays 1-2 clip frames later than the frame when you set it. This is easiest to spot when you choose "Auto-pause video" from the Timing options:

Trimming not compatible with older clips

The new trim workflow is not yet compatible with clips from 2017 or earlier. I and O hotkeys may be used to trim these clips.

Export and Tagging Templates are unavailable when including some characters

Some characters, such as Unicode, Hebrew, and Hanzi, are not permitted to be included in Edit titles when attempting to export. When inserted into a Tagging Template button name, they can render the template unusable.

Time removed from the end of long captures

When a long capture, such as for a full-length practice, is terminated, up to 30 seconds of footage at the end of the file is not processed. Captures should be run an extra 30 seconds to be safe.

Editor Max Releases: version 11.3.5

In this release...

Trimming settings

Settings have been optimized for the improved trimming workflow.

Access to Cloud assets

Uploaded videos were not available for selection from the Cloud after multiple upload attempts were made. This has been fixed.

Importing again following force-quit

Some imports were completing prematurely if the Editor was force-quit during the Import. This has been fixed; if this happens now, the user will be able to restart the Import from scratch.

Video player loading circle

The loading circle will appear less often on the video player when the user rapidly scans through cached clips.

Known issues

Trimming is not compatible with older clips

The new trim workflow is not yet compatible with clips from 2017 or earlier. I and O hotkeys may be used to trim these clips.

Tagging template buttons disappear

The Edit View and Undock buttons on tagging templates can disappear after the frame is resized. They may be brought back by clicking on a different tab within the same frame.

Export and Tagging Templates are unavailable when including some characters

Some characters (such as Unicode, Hebrew, and Hanzi) are not permitted to be included in Edit titles when attempting to export. When inserted into Tagging Template button names, they can render the template unusable.

Export edit files with Synergy clips do not sync properly

Custom Edits or Timelines that include Synergy that are Exported using the "Copy of Edit" option do not sync to the cloud properly if they are opened offline. The Edit can't be shared, and if it is saved there may be missing data.

Time removed from the end of long captures

When a long capture, such as for a full-length practice, is terminated, up to 30 seconds at the end of the file will not be processed. Captures should run an extra 30 seconds to be safe.

Cannot directly update old PC builds from desktop

Due to a bug in the installer, users will encounter an error on PC when trying to update from a desktop shortcut, something along the lines of "Unable to start the application. Contact the application vendor for assistance."

Known Issues

Templates will not recognize duplicates names

When a Player tag is entered in one tagging template and a different spelling of the same player is added as a Player tag on another tagging template, any edits published to the Synergy Team Site with these two unique Player tags will show the player twice on the Practice tab (e.g., Michael Smith and Mike Smith). The workaround is to always ensure Player tags are spelled consistently or more importantly use the new feature of having more than one tagging template open at a time and using copy paste (also new) to add the Player tags to additional/new templates.

Importing Locally Saved Templates

To import a locally saved template, drag the template file directly into your templates tab.  This will upload and save your template making to available to use.

Display Hotkeys

Currently you can toggle on display hotkeys by right-clicking on the template background. We will restore the button users are used to, but apply it on a template basis, rather than for the individual hotkey. Display Link Arrows shows off in a similar way. In that case it's a user setting, so it can also go on the top menu: Display Hotkey will be added into the properties panel again.

Release Date: April 18, 2023
Max Editor Releases: 10.6.4.1 PC | 10.6.4.20 Mac

In this release...

Text Overlay sync on Export

Full-clip text overlay fell out of sync within export MP4 files of combined clips. The mismatch could be up to several seconds, depending on the length of the file. Logic has been added to contain text overlay to within each clip.

Known Issues

Slower Capture launch on MacOS 13 Ventura

There are still slightly longer delays bringing up the Start Capture dialog on MacOS 13 Ventura when on an M1 Mac. There is also a delay of up to 30 seconds before the Live Preview appears within the dialog.

Reinstall from scratch required from older PC builds

If the PC Editor has not been opened since it was on Editor 10.4 or earlier, it does not automatically update and must be uninstalled and reinstalled from URL.

Release Date: February 15, 2023
Max Editor Releases: 10.6.2.1 PC | 10.6.2.20 Mac

In this release...

New Features: 

Matrix Zoom

Matrix view may be zoomed in and out.

Full Game Timeline single-file exports available

Full Game Edit segments may be combined into a single video export file.

Live Video Timeline opens correctly

Live Video Timeline edits sometimes initially displayed with the clips incorrectly positioned.

Also

• Multiple edits may be opened to frame simultaneously.
• A video player crash has been fixed.

Known Issues:  

Slower Capture launch on MacOS 13 Ventura

There are still slightly longer delays bringing up the Start Capture dialog on MacOS 13 Ventura when on an M1 Mac. There is also a delay of up to 30 seconds before the Live Preview appears within the dialog.

Reinstall from scratch required from older PC builds

If the PC Editor has not been opened since it was on Editor 10.4 or earlier, it does not automatically update and must be uninstalled and reinstalled from URL.

Release Date: January 31, 2023
Max Editor Releases: 10.6.0.1 PC | 10.6.0.15 Mac

In this release...

New Features: 

Folders facelift

The Folders panel has been relaunched with a more logical default to maintain Edits exclusively within Folders, rather than merely using the Folders as tags. An option has been retained at the bottom to "Display all..." for easier sorting and searching.

Timeline row flagging

Timeline rows may be flagged by right-clicking.

Live Video Timeline markers

Period/Time markers are available atop Live Video Timeline edits.

Additional new features:

• Video support behind Synergy Timelines has been modified to allow for faster caching, download, and pre-cache playback.
• On PC, the app has been updated to run on the newest development platform, improving speed and reducing memory usage.
• Users' preferred frame-size settings are remembered from session to session.

Hotfixes:

Lead time applied to auto clips tagged to live Timeline

Auto clips tagged live had no lead time, and the scheduled lead time was registered as the lag time.

Known Issues:

Avast Antivirus flag

Due to the development platform update on PC, we anticipate that downloads will be initially blocked by Avast Antivirus. The quarantine may be bypassed, as shown below. 

Tooltips cause crashing on Mac

As mentioned in the Hotfixes section, there is crashing on Mac depending on the mouse movement that occurs when a tooltip goes away. Tooltips may typically be viewed without crashing by turning off "Disable Tooltips" from ToolsOptions. This item should be selected, however, to assure sustained use of the app on Mac without crashing.

Slower Capture launch on MacOS 13 Ventura

There are still slightly longer delays bringing up the Start Capture dialog on MacOS 13 Ventura when on an M1 Mac. There is also a delay of up to 30 seconds before the Live Preview appears within the dialog.

Reinstall from scratch required from PC Editor 9

If the PC Editor has not been opened since it was on Editor 9, it does not automatically update and must be uninstalled and reinstalled from URL.

Release Date: December 15, 2022
Max Editor Releases: 10.5.0.1 PC | 10.5.0.14 Mac

In this release...

New Features: 

Quick tagging

In Timeline, right-click or (on Mac) control+click to add a new tag to a clip without having to open a Tagging Template. Select from a menu of tags already in the edit, create a new one, or add one from the hierarchy.

Docked Tagging Template

Tagging Template opens to the right frame by default. It also may be undocked and kept as a separate window as before.

Express Import

Select the Express option before Importing and immediately begin working with the full media asset. The asset may be uploaded later so that other team members can access it, or not uploaded at all if it is only to be worked with locally.

Auto Trim

Possession clips play more like event clips after toggling on Auto Trim, which trims all clips by a fixed amount selected by the user. Auto Trim carries over to export files. The feature may be toggled off, and it is superseded whenever a clip is manually trimmed.

Video Player facelift

Video Player controls are logically rearranged to make the app more approachable.

Change lengths of Synergy Timeline clips

Clips in Synergy Source Edit Timelines may be trimmed or (from Media Mode) lengthened without first having to copy to Custom Edits.

Timeline Team views

Two new Timeline pivots allow viewing the game through a single team's offense and defense tags.

Pause Live Capture

Live Captures may be paused and resumed from a button within the Edit frame.

Manipulate Timeline rows

Timeline rows may be hidden or moved.

Timeline row flagging

Add color row flags to individual Timeline rows.

Extend clip hotkeys

In Media Mode, hotkeys are available to extend clip in and out points.

Exclude added as a filter option

Exclude may be used within multiselect filters.

Additional Notes

• Changes may be made to temp edits without saving the full edit. Cached clips may be exported from temp edits without having to save first.
• The application does a better job of staying online when being used with intermittent connectivity.

Tooltip availability

Tooltips are restored to PC builds. Tooltips are available on Mac by having the "Disable Tooltips" entry within Options unchecked. However crashing can occur with this setting turned off.

Speedier Capture launch on M1

The time required to launch a capture on Mac M1 machines, which was up to 30 seconds combined with Ventura OS, has been reduced by 75%.

Memory leak patch

A memory leak was removed that built up from each opening and closing of a Timeline.

Improved Import launch from device

Video assets may be dragged from the local device into the Editor to start Import, regardless of the location the assets are dragged to, or what tab is focused.

Audio fix for long combined Export file

Audio fell slightly out of sync with video on long Export files with clips combined.

Display improved for clips atop unavailable media assets

Clips display in the correct place on Timelines when some but not all media is available for download from another user on the team.

Release Date: November 16, 2022
Max Editor Releases: 10.4.5.1 PC | 10.4.5.16 Mac

In this release...

New Features: 

Capture Performance mode

Performance Mode may be enabled in advance of a Capture. This variation lags behind real time by 15 seconds but creates an average of one-third savings in CPU. It is designed for low-spec machines. Live Preview may be turned on while in Performance Mode, but the CPU savings are not retained while it is on.

Legacy cut points available for Export

The Express Export feature installed in 10.4.2 did not cut files at the same starting frame as the legacy Editor did. A "Legacy caching" option has been added for parity. Users retain all Export options (Express/Trims/Text Overlay/combining clips) regardless of the caching format they have selected.

Fixes: 

More efficient caching

With the switch to HLS, caching was slower in Editor 10. There are more files and data to cache in order to output the same footage. To compensate we have optimized caching to minimize stalls and more efficiently use device resources. We have also restructured the Export timing so that it runs in parallel with caching, rather than sequentially. (In testing caching speed has been slightly improved compared to Editor 9.)

Options changes not saving

Changes to Options settings were not being remembered across versions, and they did not save when Disable Tooltips was enabled.

Whitelist from Avast Antivirus

Editor could not be downloaded if Avast Antivirus was enabled.

Known Issues

Lingering caching from cancelled export

Cancelling an export of an edit that is still caching does not cancel the caching. So any subsequent caching the user attempts immediately after within the same session will be delayed by those lingering cache jobs. Workaround is to close and reopen the Editor.

Slow Capture launch on MacOS 13 Ventura

It may require up to 30 seconds to show the New Live Capture display after the Capture button is pressed.

Reinstall from scratch required from PC Editor 9

If the PC Editor has not been opened since it was on Editor 9, it does not automatically update and must be uninstalled and reinstalled from URL. This is a new development since we updated our signature on the installer last month.

Release Date: September 26, 2022
Max Editor Releases: 10.4.1.1 PC | 10.4.1.13 Mac

In this release...

Fixes:

Playback improved for previously trimmed clips

Trims were not displaying correctly and playback was challenging for clips trimmed in 9x or 10.3.5 from Edit sessions later than when they were originally created.

Copy just-cut Full Game Edit user clips

User clips cut atop Synergy Full Game Edit Timelines could not be copied to Custom Edits until the Full Game Edit had been closed and reopened.

New:

Expanded Help menu

Synergy's robust profile of Support options are collected together into a dashboard from the Editor's top menu.

Known issues

Processing clips during Export takes longer

A side effect of trims being accepted upon Export is that clip processing takes longer than before. We are investigating methods to speed this up.

Trims not compatible with earlier Beta builds

Previously trims imposed on Synergy clips from 9x builds were not available in 10x. This has been fixed. However the previous 10.1 Beta build is not compatible with the current build. If trims were added in that build the clips will not be playable in either 9x Production or 10x Production. Workaround steps are to:

1. Set Playback mode to Playlist → Single Clip

2. Play the clip in Playlist view

3. To enable the Trim buttons, roll the playdot to some point in the middle of the playline

4. Write down what the IN and OUT junctures are

5. Undo IN/OUT

6. The full clip is now playable.

7. Put the IN and OUT points back in 

Re-trimming Beta clips.mp4

In addition, trims added to the current build are not compatible with earlier Beta builds, so users on the same team should be sure to all update to the current version.

Audio mismatch on long Export files

Within lengthy export files (dozens of clips), audio can fall slightly behind video as the file progresses.

Caching files not deleted

The Beta Editor was depositing substantive-sized cache files in the Mac user's Library Cache folder. If a Beta user wishes to clear up hard drive space they must manually remove these files.

Delays accessing cloud assets remotely

There are delays before our cloud service makes uploaded video assets available remotely. For example if I upload an import of mine, I can immediately work with it locally, and it immediately displays as uploaded to Cloud both on my machine and other machines. However users cannot actually access it/download it remotely until 25 minutes later (this latency may vary). We are migrating to a new service that will not have this problem.

Cannot initially change link arrow colors

Changing link arrow colors is disabled unless you click the "Outline" header first.

Release Date: September 22, 2022

Max Editor Releases: 10.4.0.1 PC | 10.4.0.13 Mac 

In this release...

New Features

Trims remembered within Export files

With this update, user trims are now preserved in exported edits/files.

Tag without Team parent row

The previously mandatory header row, sometimes called Miscellaneous or No Team, that would populate when the Team tag was missing will no longer populate if not added. This allows users to choose once again to tag a Team Source Timeline with only flat tags.

Live Telestration (Max users)

Use the Text Overlay Free Hand tool to add in-line, live markup while you watch. Markups are not saved and only appear for user-designated amount of time ( 2 second default), pausing play. Following completion of the drawing, play restarts and drawings delete.

Tagging Template Zoom

Tagging Templates may be manually scaled, either using the tool on the lower left, or using ctrl+mouse wheel scroll.

Automatically open and cache new Edits

Choose to automatically open and cache shared edits sent via Synergy to/from another user.

Delete assets from Cloud

Organize your media by deleting items from the cloud from the Video Assets tab.

Drag in pictures to create Slides

Drag and drop images to create image slides. Drag an image file into the desired slot in Playlist or Sequencer view, confirm the dialog, and an Image Slide is created in that spot.

Undock Tagging Properties panel

The Tagging Properties panel may be undocked so to view the whole Tagging Template unobstructed.

Indicator rectangles in Sequencer

Matching the Playlist view, rectangles have been added atop items in Sequencer to designate slides, trims, and text overlay.

Wrong playback for HLS/mp4 clips

For Full Game Edit clips that are available either in HLS or as part of mp4 segments, the app is selecting the wrong cache location, resulting in playback from a different game. We will issue a hotfix build for this.
