Summer release summary

Development of QBank have continued during the summer with focus on performance and further platform development of both the QMO (QBank Media Optmizer) and our QPortal.

With the latest summer release, significant improvements have been made to your QBanks performance, particularly in relation to page loading times. Our team has prioritized enhancing core functionality to enhance your overall platform experience.

Platform Enhancements
We continue to develop our platform, with a particular focus on performance but also improved capabilities connected to file formats and video:

  • Thumbnail Generation for HEIC Files: Users can now generate thumbnails for HEIC files, making it easier to manage and preview this file format within the platform.
  • Subtitles Synchronization for Video Publishing: Videos published to YouTube and Wistia now include subtitles, which are automatically synchronized when the videos are republished. This ensures consistent content presentation across these streaming platforms.
  • New Moodboard Template for Mobile: A new moodboard template has been introduced, offering improved support and a better user experience on mobile phones.

User Experience Improvements

To further enhance user experience, we've introduced several updates aimed at improving workflow efficiency and page performance:

  • Enhanced Search Functionality for Queries with Dots: The search functionality has been improved to better handle queries that include dots, ensuring more accurate and relevant search results.

  • Optimized Page Loading Performance: Page loading times have been optimized, offering users faster access to content and a smoother overall experience across the platform.

  • Clipping Path Information in List View: A new column has been added to the list view to show the number of clipping paths and which clipping path is primary. Clipping path has also been added to preview mode so that without having to open the asset in detail view, you can now directly in the search result select an image and mark a clipping path as primary in the preview section.
