Camera 8.6 Beta still

PostTue Jun 04, 2024 9:28 pm

Hi,
I'm just wondering when camera 8.6 will come off beta, it's been 3 months with no updates, will a non beta version ever be released?
Thanks,
Nick

As of right now, it is November 19th and there has been no update on the 8.6 Beta. It's been in Beta for 8 months. I would really LOVE to see these features go into full effect on a stable release and I'm really hoping this one doesn't end up being like my URSA Mini 4K where certain features were never unlocked (such as the ability to use DNxHD - it's still greyed out in my old cameras options menu according to the friend I sold it to because the update was never released for him to install).

I want it to be stable and useable and for all of the cool new features to work perfectly -- especially the ability to delete clips -- but this one feels like it's taking longer than usual.

I wan THAT feature to go away. I don't like the new files it stores on my media card to make it work.

What files are those? I don't install Beta's so I haven't had a chance to use any of the new features yet (hence the reason I'm eager for them to release the stable version). What's wrong with the files?
