Don't know if anyone's noticed, but there are a TON of new filters (check out the Time folder), and several very cool new generators (look for clouds and membrane in the Generator's Render folder).
There's a lot more to this update than meets the eye!
Garbage mattes no longer "disappear". For example, if you applied a garbage matte, then a color correction filter, the matte would stop working. It would only re-appear if it was the last (bottom) filter down in the Viewer. The mattes now still work no matter what order the filters are in. Nice.
A mask feather filter would fail to show at all in the Canvas if the RT pop-up menu was set to Unlimited RT. You could only see the feather in the Viewer or after rendering (or switching to Safe RT). Now you see the feathering in Unlimited RT or Safe RT.
The new Soft Focus filter works great.
From a fellow FCP trainer-
5.1.2 tip of the day:
To change between All Pixels and Select Pixels in the Video Scopes without having to dig into the RT pop up: In the Button list, call up "pixel". Drag one of the two "scope" buttons into Scopes window- doesn't seem to want to go into other windows. It creates a 3-button button with all 3 choices. All Pixels and Select Pixels can also be mapped to keys for quick toggling between the two views.
What else have you folks found new in 5.1.6?
