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.

IMPROVEMENTS

• • Bulk-Downloads for Proxy Files
    Strawberry users can now download multiple proxy files in a single download operation
  • Folder Imports for Remote Editors
    The Skies Adobe panel now allows editors to import the contents of entire folders as editing proxies
    
  • Bulk-Releasing of Gallery Assets
    Gallery managers can now release multiple Gallery assets in a single action
    
  • Push Gallery Feedback to PAM
    Gallery managers can now push individual annotations of a Gallery asset back to it’s Strawberry PAM source asset. This way, reviewer feedback can be made available to the editor who originally submitted the asset to the Gallery
  • Share via Email Links
    Individual review links shared via email can now be opened on multiple devices simultaneously
  • Proxy Support for atypical Audio Files
    Strawberry can now generate proxy files from media assets that have a different number of audio channels in their audio tracks
  • Notification for “Project Close” events
    Users can now receive notifications when other users close their projects. Additionally, these notifications are also available in the global event log, enabling Admins to measure the time that an editor has spent on a project on a given day
  • Active Directory Security Groups
    Strawberry now allows filtering AD/LDAP users based on Active Directory security groups
  • ACL ID Preference
    Strawberry now supports inheritance for POSIX ACLs and allows to set an ACL id preference for NFSv4 ACLs (uid or username)
  • Support for CentOS 8 and RHEL8
    Strawberry can now be installed on the latest CentOS 8 and Red Hat 8 versions.
