OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Video Express
WARNING! OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Video Express 4.2.2 require macOS 11 or later
OnTheAir Video only
Note that this will be the last release for version 4.1. This was made to fix a few issues to leave some time so that our users can transition to version 4.2, which has some major new features. Make sure to update to version 4.2, and check the new actions in that version. Release Notes for OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Video Express

Warning: New actions !
In OnTheAir Video 4.2, one of the major changes is the new types of Actions. Previously, in OnTheAir Video 4.1 or earlier, actions were only AppleScripts. With version 4.2, actions can be other things than AppleScript in order for example to control the DGO or video routers directly. These new actions required us to change the playlist format to save these actions. Thus there could be issues when going back and forth between version 4.2 (or later) and earlier versions of OnTheAir Video which were using different actions. Here is the behaviour to expect: When going from version 4.1 to 4.2: - Actions will be converted to the new actions with attributes, there is nothing to do. - You can save the playlist in the new format and if you only use AppleScript actions, you can go back and forth between version 4.1 and 4.2, but not if you use other types of actions. When going from version 4.2 to 4.1: - If you were using only "AppleScript" actions in version 4.2, there will be no issue. - If you used other types of actions, you will be able to open the playlist in version 4.1, but if you save your playlist in version 4.1, you will loose all "non-AppleScript" actions and you won't be able to retrieve them when reopening with version 4.2. So make sure to disable auto-save in that case. REST API modifications There are some important changes in the REST API. We recommend using the same OnTheAir Video versions for the client and the server. Particularly if you are using actions.

!! WARNING !! Check your Actions AppleScript after the update!!
There can be issues with Actions AppleScripts controlling either the Videohub or GPICommander. Indeed, there was a syntax issue in previous versions of OnTheAir Video, as both VideoHub and GPICommander used "inputs" and "outputs", which led to confusion to script editor. For VideoHub we now use "Sources" and "Destinations", instead of "Inputs" and "Outputs". But if your script was written (or saved) with an old version of OnTheAir Video opened, and you then start a new version of OnTheAir Video, it could use "destination" instead of "output" for GPICommander. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Important changes!
1. New behaviours with some external triggers With this version, we are changing the behaviour of some actions done via "external triggers", such as: GPICommander, Stream Deck, REST API, AppleScripts, MIDI, ATEM or Tricaster. Some of the actions will now be done on the "playing" playlist instead of the "front" playlist. These are the playback actions that are "relative to" the playing clip:
Other controls will still be done on the "front" playlist, including some playback controls such as:
2. New default resize mode behaviour With this version, we are changing the behaviour of the "default" resize modes. Previously, the resize modes worked as follows: when you set a default mode in the settings, it would only apply to all clips added to the playlist from that moment on. It did not apply to all past clips. All clips added to the playlist had the resize mode selected in preferences. We have now added a "default" resize mode in the clip inspector. When you select that mode, we will apply whatever resize mode is selected in the preferences. By default, all clips added to the playlist have the "Default" resize mode applied.

Improvements in OnTheAir Video & OnTheAir Video Express 4
Important changes and warnings:
OnTheAir Video 4 is now available for everyone to download as a pre-release version. It is probably one of our biggest releases ever with a host of new features to enhance both the user experience and the performance. As an example, we are adding CG projets directly into OnTheAir Video through the “Dynamic Graphics Overlay” option.
Our development team probably got too excited about this release and decided to add even more exciting new features like a powerful HTTP/REST API, new playback behaviours and many other things. This is why our release date has slipped "a bit". But, every new license purchased includes a free upgrade to version 4, and there are already TV channels that are using the pre-release version for their production and broadcast, so if you need the best playout software you can already order it now. You won’t need to purchase anything when the final version is released, and, as always, you will enjoy our free support and update.
There are many new features with OnTheAir Video 4. Too many to be listed all here. The best is that you download and try it out, but here are a few that we wanted to highlight:
