Download the newest version and discover the updates to our color tools, shortcuts and more. [Start your cineSync trial**](https://www.ftrack.com/en/create-workspace?cinesync) [Download cineSync 5.2.1**](https://www.ftrack.com/en/cinesync/download-cinesync-5) #### New color picker for annotations We’ve updated our color picker, and added a new eye dropper, so you can select any color from the image being reviewed – allowing you to easily sketch out modifications to existing elements on the screen. #### Copy/paste and “Apply All” for Colour Grading If you make a change to the color grade of a specific file in [cineSync 5](https://www.ftrack.com/en/cinesync), you can now choose to apply that change to all files in the playlist, or you can copy the settings and apply to specific files in the playlist – so for instance, when reviewing a sequence, it’s now a simple process to apply the same change to all shots in the sequence. #### Digital Color Meter From time to time, users need to be able to verify the color they’re seeing on screen matches the color of the source file. Here we’ve introduced a digital color meter which allows a user to verify exact color values for any pixel in the image. Being able to verify exact color values, and to check color accuracy is a fundamentally useful feature – it provides absolute confidence that the media you’re reviewing is presented accurately. #### Customisable keyboard shortcuts You now have the option to update shortcuts (or “hot keys”) – being able to customize hotkeys in [cineSync](https://www.ftrack.com/en/cinesync) gives users the ability to set the hotkeys to what they would expect out of habit, to remove any friction when switching between tools. A few shortcuts are so universal they can’t be modified – like the space bar, or j,k and l for transport controls, but most can be updated based on preference, via the Preferences menu. ### Try cineSync 5.2.1 today Start your free trial and explore all of cineSync 5.2.1’s new features.
