New Features
- OpenColorIO (OCIO) support: Iconik now supports OCIO color management for accurate color representation across your review workflow.
- Versions in asset and playlist shares: Users can switch between versions directly in a share, with sync support ensuring all participants see the same version simultaneously.
- AV1, MKV, VP8, and VP9 support: Iconik now plays back assets in these formats natively.
- Participants dialog: Users can now view and manage session participants directly from the player.
- Copy metadata to clipboard: Users can copy some or all media metadata directly to the clipboard for use outside Iconik.
Other Changes
- Updated macOS application icon.
- Playlist shares now display thumbnails in the items column, giving users a visual preview before opening.
- Share email prompt now appears the first time a user annotates, comments, or joins a sync session — rather than upfront — reducing friction for new share recipients.
Bug Fixes
