- No more sound levels by default when creating a scene
When a new scene is created, the S01 and S02 sound levels are no longer included in the exposure sheet. Older scene files, and new scene files in which the user added sound levels are still supported and open correctly.
- Variable speed playback
Playback speed can now be adjusted while CTP is in Playback mode. The user can lower/higher the speed from 1 fps to as many as 100 fps, if the computer allows such a fast playback. There are three ways to do that:
- From the Player menu, the user will find two new options: Slower and Faster.
- Hot keys (Ctrl+PgUp to play faster/Ctrl+PgDn to play slower) are also available
- Finally, two new arrow buttons in the View/Player area (next to the frames slider) can be used to change the playback speed.
The current playback speed is still indicated in the Status bar at the lower end of the window.
When trying to play faster, the user might find that the computer that is being used is not able to show at the desired frame rate. In that case, the desired frame rate is updated to that maximum speed.
- New scanner resolutions
Previous CTP versions would allow up to 4 times (4X) the resolution of a scanned drawing to preserve detail. CTP 1.8 now offers up to 32 times (32X) the resolution.
- Goto nth frame when clicking in camera curve preview window
When the user clicks in the camera curve preview window (while editing camera motion, zoom, rotation), the corresponding frame will automatically be activated in the exposure sheet.
- Named cells
Cells can now be renamed with any combination of characters and numbers. Up to 21 characters/numbers can be used to name a cell. In other words, users are no longer forced to name cells with the “A0001” naming model.
