1. Video Template Editor* – Full Customisation for Motion & Sequences

Adjust camera motion, clip duration, number of clips and rearrange clips for an enhanced video workflow.

This long-awaited feature gives users full control over their automated video production.


Here is a video explaining how to use Template editor.


2. Views V2 – Advanced Presets & Lighting Control

Expanded preset capabilities allow linked lighting configurations to individual Views.

Easily recall predefined camera positions and associated lighting presets in a single tap.


Here is a video explaining how to use Views.


3. Global & Local Lighting Presets

Global Presets: Set a universal lighting look across all projects.

Local Presets: Assign unique lighting settings per preset for finer control.


4. Auto Crop – Enhanced Framing Automation

The highly requested Auto Crop feature returns, ensuring automated, consistent framing.

Reduces manual cropping effort, increasing efficiency in post-production.


5. Axion Video Template – A Modernised Orbit Replacement

The Axion template replaces Orbit as the default Eclipse video template.

Why? Orbit was the first-ever template and is not fully compatible with the new Template Editor.

Smoother movements

Customisability within Template Editor

A refined user experience

 

**Note: Orbit will still be available but cannot be customised like Axion.

How to Upgrade to ProStudio 5.0

1. Download the ProStudio 5.0

2. Migrate from Eclipse Control App

  • Open your existing Eclipse app.
  • Go to Settings → Hold System Information (bottom corner) → A pop-up will appear.
  • Note down your system hostname (e.g., SE 194.local).

3. Connect the New App to Your System

  • Open the new ProStudio Control app.
  • Allow the app to access network devices.
  • Enter the previous hostname from the Eclipse app.
  • Your system should now connect automatically.

4. Finalising the Migration

  • Close the old Eclipse app (swipe up and quit).
  • Your system is now running on ProStudio 5.0.

Here is a video on how to do this procedure.


*Note on templates: To make full use of Template Editor, we highly recommend creating presets from scratch and as mentioned above, don't use the Orbit template.
