You can now obtain images from an asset using an API. Given a time code and asset ID, the API will return images in either high or low resolution.
When working with a live channel in the Clipping tool, you can now use the Seek by Time/Date button. When a valid date and time is selected the Clipping tool will load the appropriate asset and the window will close. Users now have the correct asset ready for clipping.
