Updates for June 12, 2024

  • When you download files from a Review Link in your web browser, a panel now opens on the right side of the page to show you the download progress. 
  • We resolved an issue with bulk adding users to a distribution list. From the Users page in Administration, you can now add as many as fifty users to a distribution list at once. 
  • If you only have upload permission in a project, you can now upload folders to that project, in addition to individual files. 
  • The pages in a watermarked document now load properly after the document has been open for more than half an hour. 
  • We fixed a bug to ensure you can edit Review Links that previously contained watermarked content, even after watermarking is turned off for your account. 
  • Finally, we clarified the description of the “Only Allow Templates'' option (Administration > SafeStream > Watermark Settings). Selecting this option will have two effects: (1) Workspace users cannot create custom watermark templates in Projects; instead, they must select one of the templates created in Administration. (2) To apply forensic watermarking to a project, a user will need to choose a visible video watermark template first.

Updates for May 30, 2024

  • As an administrator, you can now create and manage your own API keys directly from the Profile page. Just click your avatar in the bottom left, select My Profile, and visit the new “API Keys” section. Click here to learn more. 
  • We improved the experience around viewing comments with annotations. Now, when you click on a comment in the comments section, the video player will display the corresponding annotation only; annotations from other comments at and around the same timecode will be filtered out. 
  • When viewing a longer comment on a document or image file, clicking the “more” button now displays the rest of the comment. 
  • In the Sent Links tab, clicking the View button on an empty Review Link will no longer result in a blank page. Instead, you’ll see a message indicating the link is empty. 
  • We fixed a bug that prevented you from deleting a comment in a Review Link if that comment was made in Projects via Review Mode. 
  • On the Projects home page, sorting projects by size is working properly again.
  • When you open and play a video in Projects, playback now continues uninterrupted even if the gallery below the video player hasn’t finished loading. 
  • After you delete users in bulk from Administration, the updated user list automatically appears. Before, deleting thirty or more users at once would display the message “No users found” until you refreshed the page.

Updates for May 14, 2024

  • We fixed a bug affecting the search bar in Projects and Insights. As you start typing a search term, clicking on a text suggestion now searches for that suggestion. 
  • Dragging a file into the Sent Links tab will once again add the file to the Review Link you selected, instead of replacing the contents of the link. 
  • We resolved an issue with workspace-level watermark preferences. Now, if an administrator requires that new projects have forensic watermarking, then forensic watermarking will be applied to new projects whether or not visible watermarking is also required. 
  • In the MediaSilo desktop app, the option to download files using asset titles or filenames is now available for folders. Just click the three-dots button on a folder to view your download options. As an administrator, you can make these options available under Administration > Settings > General. 
  • When you opt to download a file with its asset title, the MediaSilo desktop app will now apply your naming preference. Before, the file would be downloaded with its original filename. 
  • In the MediaSilo panel for DaVinci Resolve Studio, you can once again import comments as markers, even if two or more comments were made at the same timecode.

Updates for April 30, 2024

  • When comparing different versions of a file in side-by-side review, you can now view comments from a specific version or all comments from all versions. Click here to learn more about reviewing files with multiple versions. 
  • When you export comments as a TXT file, you can once again import the comments into Avid Media Composer as markers. 
  • We now support a plain-text preview of HTML, SCC, SRT, and VTT files. 
  • If a project has hundreds of users assigned to it, the full list of project team members is now displayed in both the Team tab and the Manage Project Team window. 
  • We fixed a bug that prevented some users from deleting folders while in list view. 
  • You can once again drag folders into the Sent Links tab while in list view. Click here to learn more about updating Review Links via the Sent Links tab. 
  • We fixed a bug that affected first-time users as they accessed MediaSilo using a social-auth option like “Sign in with Apple.” Now, you can finish setting up your new profile whether or not you upload a profile image. 
  • Immediately after you turn on MFA for your user profile, you can continue sharing, downloading, and accessing files in Review Mode without needing to refresh the page. 
  • In Review Links, we fixed a visual defect that could cause the Clear Range button to overlap with the “Leave a comment” window. 
  • When reviewing files, the comments section can now load as many as one thousand comments. 
  • If you are not logged in to MediaSilo, attempting to comment on a file gives you the option to log in or to create a user profile for reviewing files. For anyone choosing the second option, we updated the messaging to make it clear you are just creating a reviewer user, not a user account with access to a MediaSilo workspace.

  • The ampersand symbol (&) is once again displayed correctly in Presentations. 
  • Lastly, we fixed a typo on the Settings page in Administration.

Updates for April 2, 2024

  • In Projects, you now have the option to download a file with its original filename (the name of the file uploaded to MediaSilo) or with its asset title (the title that can be edited in MediaSilo). Administrators can make this option available to their workspace under Administration > Settings > General. Click here to learn more about download options in Projects. 
  • We made some formatting changes to the text file or spreadsheet you download whenever you export comments. This way, formatting is consistent among the different file types you can export (.txt, .csv, .xls).

Updates for March 5

March 5, 2024

  • We fixed a visual defect that caused black bars to appear along the top and bottom of the video player in Projects. 
  • You can now limit playback to a specific time range whenever you select a range-based comment. Select the “Loop” option to play the time range on a loop, or “Play Once” to stop playback at the end of the range. You can learn more about commenting tools and video player controls here. 
  • When you open a direct link to a range-based comment, you can now hit Play to play the video from the start of the corresponding time range. Before, hitting Play would reset the video to the beginning. 
  • Finally, we fixed a bug that displayed an incorrect file count in certain Review Link email notifications. Now, if your link contains folders, the email notification says, “[Your Name] has shared files with you.”
