This new version of OnTheAir Video introduces major improvements to the "Dynamic Graphics Overlay" (DGO) feature. Most notably, there's now a dedicated "Graphics" window where you can add and manage your DGO projects. The interface is similar to OnTheAir CG Server and includes several powerful capabilities:
- Start, stop, and pause projects
- Update values of "published" fields
- Enable looping for a project
- Scrubbing in timed projects (without any item in 'Stay Forever')
- Remotely control projects (Remote Pack option required)
The second major change involves how you control these graphics. Previously, DGO projects were managed through the "Inspector > Graphics" tab. While that method was convenient, it had a key limitation: any adjustments made via Actions or the API were reset every time a new clip started. To provide more flexibility and clarity, the "Inspector > Graphics" tab has been removed. All control is now handled through Actions, rather than on a per-clip basis.
Some features, such as SuperSource and QR code generation, require OnTheAir CG Designer version 3.7 or later.

Note: Some new features of the Dynamic Graphics Overlay require OnTheAir CG Designer 3.7 to create the projects.

DGO option: Added a new "Graphics" window that replaces the table in "Settings > Graphics". CG Projects should be added and controlled from that window.
DGO option: Removed the "Inspector > Graphics" tab. CG Projects should now be controlled from the "Actions".
DGO option: Added "SuperSource" Items.
DGO option: Added the ability to render QR codes.
DGO option: Added the ability to animate items when updating their values. Example: PUT /playback/cg_projects/0/items/0/ {"text":"This is my text","animate_on_update":true}
DGO option: REST API: Added the ability to send image as base64 data.
DGO option: REST API: Added the ability to change the color and stroke of shapes.
Actions: Added a new window "Actions Editor" that allows to create user actions for easier recall. Great for frequently used actions like SCTE triggers or Lower thirds.
Actions: Added the ability to create Macros of custom actions to trigger multiple actions at once. Actions within a macro are processed in sequence, one after the other.
Actions: Added the ability to copy actions from one clip to another. Hold the Option and Command keys while dragging and dropping a clip onto another. Or copy a clip, then select another one and "Edit > Paste Actions (option + command +V)".

Activations: Fixed potential hang when refreshing activations if a network is present, but our server can not be reached.
