Creative reviews just got a lot more powerful and organized. This update focuses on giving you total control over your review sessions with a brand-new Playlist panel, a highly visual grid view, and the ability to compare your work against anything in your project.

📋 Direct Playlist Management

The new Playlist panel replaces the old "Clips View," allowing you to manage your entire session directly within the player.

• Custom Sections: Create any number of collapsible sections to organize your work. Use them to separate Shots vs. Assets, group by Sequence, or categorize by Priority (e.g., "Final Polish" vs. "Needs Fixes").

• Dynamic Grouping: Instantly group clips by Status or Task. You can even drag a clip into a different status group to update the version's status in real-time.

• Live Editing: Add, remove, or replace clips on the fly. Swap versions or pick a completely different product to insert into the session without leaving the interface.

• Reordering: Simply click and drag thumbnails to change your review sequence instantly.

🖼️ Visual Card View

The Review tab on the AYON server has been redesigned for a more visual experience. The new Grid View makes it much easier to browse your review sessions at a glance.

🔍 Compare Anything

The comparison tool is no longer limited to previous versions of the same product. You can now compare your current clip against any version, product, or folder in the system.

• Cross-Department Checks: Compare your lighting render directly against the layout or animation paths to ensure everything lines up.

• Sequence Continuity: Load a completely different shot to check that lighting and color match perfectly between cuts.

🛠️ Quality of Life & Fixes

• Playback Speed: You can now set and sync video playback speed (from 0.25x up to 2x) for all participants.

• Actions Menu: Trigger external AYON Actions directly from within the review session.

• Timeline Fixes: The timeline now scrolls with the playhead during playback and properly aligns when reviewing images or very short clips.

• Refined Shortcuts: Pressing I or O now updates the point to your current frame instead of toggling it off. Use [ and ] for annotation brush sizes, and , or . to toggle your side panels.
