The Player just became much more capable. The v1.0.3 release adds visual watermarking, subtitles, multi-part transfers, and version-level commenting — closing the gap between what you can do in the browser and what you can do in the desktop app.
In this release:
- Watermarking settings from Iconik now apply in the Player
- Subtitles and CC tracks available in the Player
- Comment and annotate on any version, not just the latest
- Colour-coded comment categories to keep feedback organised
- Multi-part uploads and downloads for large-file reliability
Your visual watermarking settings, applied in the Player
When watermarking is enabled in Iconik, the Player now enforces the same settings — so the watermark you've configured appears on content viewed in the desktop app, exactly as it does in the browser. If you're using watermarking to protect client deliverables or manage distribution rights, that protection now holds wherever the Player is used.
Multi-part upload and download — Large file transfers that don't stall or restart
Multi-part upload and download is a win for anyone moving high-resolution media, effectively solving the twin headaches of slow transfer speeds and potentially unstable connections. Multi-part upload and download breaks large media files into smaller segments and transfers them simultaneously, giving you faster throughput on high-resolution content. The real change is what happens when the connection drops: instead of starting over, the transfer picks up from the specific chunk that failed. For editors, clients, or ingest teams moving large files remotely, that means fewer failed transfers to troubleshoot and less time waiting to retry.
Subtitles and CC tracks, right in the Player
The Player now supports subtitle tracks the same way the browser does. When a file has subtitles attached, a CC menu appears below the timeline — select it to enable the track and choose your language. For multilingual content, client review, or accessibility requirements, the subtitle workflow you've built in Iconik carries through to the Player without any extra setup.
Comments and annotations on every version, not just the latest
You can now add comments and annotations to any version of an asset in the Player, not just the current one. For review workflows where earlier cuts are still in discussion, or where you need to document decisions made on a previous version, this removes the need to switch to the browser to do that work.
Availability: Available to all Iconik Player users on v1.0.3. Update via the Player's built-in updater or download directly.
