When you have nodes selected this will create the comment around the nodes, if you have no nodes selected it just creates a comment and you can start jotting away. Quickly create a comment shortcut ⌘/CTRL + M. You can now position the text in the Text Render node. Wire got a few new nodes Distance Node and Replace NaN Node. We have now fixed this in 7.17, the buttons are always max brightness, no need to set it to a different mode, just plug and play.

You always had to set it to drum mode to get the maximum brightness from the buttons. The Akai APC Mini MK2 is quickly becoming the new favorite controller for Avenue & Arena but by default the buttons are not very bright. To copy an image open the radar menu at the bottom of a monitor. In 7.16 we added copying & pasting images to Wire and now it's also available in Arena & Avenue. This is a huge time saver! You'll find the copy & paste effects options in the clip, layer, group and composition menu. Now you can copy & paste effects not just on clips but also on layers, groups and the composition. Combine this automatic starting and stopping with the layer auto-pilot and you can do basic video editing in Arena & Avenue! Recorded files are not automatically added to the composition anymore by default but they are added to the recording panel where you can double click them to preview, open in Explorer/Finder or drag them to a clip in your composition. You can start the recording when the next bar starts or when a clip is triggered. The recording can also be automatically stopped when all playing clips have ended. You can specify the length of the recording in seconds or beats, this means you do not have to trim your recordings anymore but you get perfectly looping files.

Before you could only record the composition but you can now optionally specify what layer, group or even screen from the advanced output that you want to record. This is hardware accelerated and produces small files so you can now record basically as long as you want to. Besides ProRes and DXV you can now also record in h264.

This is huge! Recording now has it's own dedicated panel where you can set a lot of new options and where your recorded files will show up.
