- It is now possible to copy images from other apps and paste them onto any event screen in the Screen Editor. The 'Paste clipboard image' menu item now appears on the right click popup menu in the Screen Editor whenever a valid image is available on the Windows clipboard
- If the frame rate is set to 'Unchanged' (in Miscellaneous Settings) then videos are now converted to MP4 (or MOV) using the same frame rate value as the recorded video. This also fixes a problem where videos were sometimes failing with the 'Unchanged' frame rate setting
- Bug fix: Prevent unexpected progression to the next event screen when using the drawing tools on a live camera feed
- Add the option to make either green or black background colours transparent in Video items on event screens. Typical use: maintaining the background transparency on MP4 videos that have been obtained from various third party SWF to MP4 Converter utilities.
- Prevent duplication of video files in the events folder if videos are set to be converted to MP4 or MOV format after recording
- Bug fix: Video files recorded with a DSLR camera now play correctly on the 'Show video' screen if videos are set to start recording on the 'Get ready' screen (in the Event Designer)

- In 'Information' events, allow the user defined event screen that appears last in the Screen list to time out to the event that is defined in the 'On completion' section of the Event flow
