Strawberry 6.2.0
2020-09-18 | Major Release
NEW FEATURES
-
- Mutliple Open Projects & Sessions
The “Multiple Open Projects” feature enables editors to open multiple projects simultaneously without having to connect them in a parent- subproject relationship. Sessions ensure, that users can save their current working state (currently open projects) on logout and load that state when they log back in. - Deep Search Filters
we have introduced new search features, enabling deep metadata searches and allowing for more complex search operations across projects and media assets. This helps editors find their assets and projects more quickly. - New Proxy Encoding Preset
Strawberry 6.2 offers a new proxy encoding preset called “Same as Source”. When enabled, all new proxy files will have the same resolutions as their HighRes counterparts. This new preset is recommended when Strawberry is used for approval workflows and remote editing via Skies. - Automated Error Tracking
Administrators can now configure Strawberry to automatically send error messages and exceptions to the Projective support team.
- Mutliple Open Projects & Sessions

CHANGES TO PROJECTS, MEDIA ASSETS & PROXY FILES
- It is now possible to create “Custom Metadata Sets” for media assets
https://manuals.projective.io/v60/en/topic/managing-asset-metadata-sets - Users can now “bulk-add” metadata to media assets
https://manuals.projective.io/v60/en/topic/viewing-and-changing-asset-metadata - We have increased the visual quality of streamable proxy previews by introducing hard-coded variable proxy bitrates (VBR)
https://manuals.projective.io/v60/en/topic/resolutions-and-bitrates - Starting with the Strawberry 6 update, Strawberry will create two streaming proxies for each HighRes media asset. The first proxy is the standard proxy that is used for internal (LAN) streaming while the second proxy is an encrypted version used when streaming via the Skies cloud infrastructure
- If your current proxy resolution is set to 640×360, then the Strawberry 6 update will automatically increase it to 1280×720. This change will ensure that all new proxy files will be ready for approval workflows via the SKIES cloud infrastructure. if you don’t want your proxy files to be encoded in a resolution higher than 640×360 you can manually downgrade the resolution from the Strawberry Admin panel after the update.
CHANGES TO THE SEARCH ENGINE & THE SEARCH INDEX
