FlexXtend

Important Note Regarding Adobe Media Encoder (AME) from 2025.9.0

From the implementation of support of monitoring the status of Render jobs with FlexXtend, Adobe Media Encoder (AME) MUST run in HTTPS mode. 

To use AME server in HTTPS mode, do the following:

• On the cluster, install flex_xtendadobepanel_app_version: 2.7.217 (or higher)
• On the cluster, install flex_xtendamepanel_app_version: 2.1.112 (or higher)
• On all Client machines, install flex_xtendadobepanel_extension_version: 1.4.68 (or higher)
•  Add a signed/self-signed certificate to AME machine. Add these 2 files to C:\Users\<user>\Documents\AdobeFiles\AmeCert 
  - key.pem
  - server.crt
• Restart flex AME plugin, the AME machine will connect using HTTPS protocol https server. 
• Update the connection details in the FlexXtend panel settings to: https://<ame name>:port. For example: https://qa-olga.dalet.local:8011

NOTE: Previously, running AME in HTTPS mode was optionally available. From Versions 2025.9.0 it is mandatory. 

New Features

Monitoring job status on remote AME in FlexXtend

From this release of Dalet Flex, you can monitor the status of any rendering job sent to a remote Adobe Media Encoder (AME) directly in the Job Monitor tab in the FlexXtend panel.

Prerequisite

To support this functionality, Adobe Media Encoder MUST be installed in https mode. See above for more details.

The Job Monitor tab has been added to the FlexXtend panel. When FlexXtend is connected to a remote AME, the Job Monitor indicates it is Connected and displays a list of jobs.

The Job Monitor displays:

• List of jobs and their status: Submitted, Downloading, Rendering, Uploading, Running Workflow, Done
• AME the job is assigned to
• Number of running jobs is indicated in the Job Monitor tab header
• Workflow launched when the Render job completes
• Asset created in Dalet Flex after import

You can use the 3-dot menu displayed on a job to perform actions in the Job Monitor. 

NOTE: You can only perform actions when the job is controlled by FlexXtend. You cannot control workflows in Dalet Flex.

You can click the Clear Completed button to remove all completed jobs from the Job Monitor.

Support of MOGRT templates in .prproj projects with FlexXtend

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can check in, import with project and render .aegraphics files in mogrt templates added to your Adobe Premiere project.

A mogrt template can contain multiple media parts: a simple text template, an animated graphic file or other graphics files. When the template is added to the timeline, Adobe Premiere adds all essential media components for the graphics in a Motion Graphics Template Media folder in the Project Bin. 

When you save/render the project to Dalet Flex, FlexXtend checks in any object in this directory that points to a file on disk even if they are not referenced in the sequence. The graphic objects in the mogrt template (.aegraphics) are checked into Dalet Flex in the same way that other media is checked in and created as video assets with an .aegraphics file. If a user tries to import the .aegraphics asset (created as a video asset in Flex) to Premiere, nothing happens.

NOTE: Currently the .aegraphics file is created as a video asset. Once support for Graphic Assets is added to Dalet Flex, it will be created as a Graphic Asset.

When you render a sequence, the mogrt template is burnt on to the new video.

Improvements in FlexXtend project locking

The original implementation of project locking focused on locks applied from FlexXtend. From Flex 2025.9.0, the functionality has been extended to support scenarios where a third-party external system manages edit locks via Flex API. 

Support project locking updates applied by external users

FlexXtend now detects external changes to edit lock ownership applied via PUT API calls without needing to refresh the GUI. FlexXtend detects when:

• The lock is taken from an asset while it is being edited and becomes read only
• An asset a user is working on is in read-only mode and its lock is changed to this user and the asset becomes editable 

Preserve edit locks created by external users when closing a project

To ensure that edit locks created by external users via PUT API calls are not removed unintentionally, the edit locks are not deleted when closing a project imported to Adobe Premiere through FlexXtend. FlexXtend only deletes edit locks created by FlexXtend when closing a project.  

FlexXtend supports private S3 compatible storage

From this release, FlexXtend supports reading and writing to S3 compatible storage endpoints for all media operations:

• Media check-in
• Project save
• Rendering
• Proxy media reading

The Compatible URL field has been added to the FlexXtend settings panel/ flexXtendAdobePanelSettings.json in the Sequence – Render and Export section.

To enable working with S3 compatible storage, select the Upload Rendered Sequence to S3 check box and configure: access key, secret key, bucket name, path (optional), Compatible URL.

Remember FlexXtend login approval for 24 hours 

To improve your User Experience, from this version of Dalet Flex, login approval to FlexXtend can be remembered for 24 hours. When the flex/shared/featureToggles/allowToRememberXtendScopeApproval is set to true, the Remember me for 24 hours checkbox is enabled and all new logins in the 24-hour period will be logged in directly without the need for manual approval in the Browser.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where Transcode fails with error outputFileDetails is null because forbidden characters are used in the file name. 
• Import IMF job fails at extract metadata step with 403: UnknownError.Failure caused by an issue relating to permissions in S3 when running ECS.
• Fixed an issue where the duration of an MXF file was not updated while it was growing. 
• [Conform]: Fixed an issue where conforming an EDL (AFF) generated using AI by Flex plugin - Import Edit was failing.
• Fixed an issue where Transcode asset jobs fail with this Error "this.assetService" is null. 
• Fixed an issue where the AssetId of lognote node remains null in the FCPXML created when saving a project/sequence in Adobe Premiere.
• Fixed an issue where importing a project from deeplink (URL) displays nothing for more than a minute by immediately displaying the FlexXtend import window.
• Fixed an issue where FlexXtend is not importing timeline comments from Dalet Flex as markers. Issue fixed by considering start timecode attached to the timeline comments and readjusting when importing into Premiere. Start timecode is taken first from preferred start timecode field, then from format context start timecode, then from video stream context start timecode and if none of these exists the start timecode defaults to 0. 
• Fixed an issue where Start timecode in Enterprise does not match the Start Timecode in FlexMAM.
• Fixed an issue where archive workflows failing because the metadata included a reference to an asset that had been deleted.
• [SRT]: Fixed an issue where Extract Subtitle Technical Metadata was failing when subtitle text contains ONLY a number, for example 2024.
• Fixed an issue where job retries were causing errors and delays. Issue fixed by removing job retry from the job scheduler thread.
• The Group job is excluded from the concurrency job limit/quota when performing workflow actions on Group jobs. The Group job is considered a container job to orchestrate sub-jobs.
• Fix an issue so that image sequence technical metadata details are extracted correctly.
• To improve reading zip content, modified unzip/zip implementation to parse entries from a central directory rather than streaming through entries.  
• Fixed an issue where the create proxy operation is failing for Image Sequence asset with indexes that start from 0.
• Allow saving metadata instances that reference deleted assets in the asset variables of a JEF script.
• Fixed a logic issue preventing unspecified outputFilename in inputs array for pack job.
• [FMP]: Fixed an issue where the keyframe is not visible when opening the asset page or in Tile view.   
• To support the ingest of large and complex IMF packages, fix logic for multiplexing packets based on current output clock time for composite sources in FMPE.
• Acquire correct instantaneous duration of a growing MXF file as part of clip validation.
• [xTend Flex]: Fixed an issue where FlexXtend is not importing Flex timeline comments when start TimeCode != 00:00:00:00. 
• [Xtend Flex] Fixed an issue where a Render job was not created on a remote AME machine. Issue solved by changing the connection from http to https.
• [Ingest Portal] Fixed an issue where the app switcher is not working properly.
• [Ingest Portal] START/END time for scheduling a recording job use 24-hour clock and not AM/PM. 
• [Ingest Portal] Fixed an issue where the Job card End Time did not match the End Time in Timeline.
• [Ingest Portal] Fixed an issue where the duration of an ingest job was changing after the job was modified. Issue solved by creating an updating status, during which the job duration cannot be modified.
• [Ingest Portal] Fixed an issue where clicking on the Job Card near the playhead does not open the Job Info Panel.
• [Ingest Portal] Fixed an issue where text font jumps in the GUI when opening-closing info card/source card.

• Fixed an issue where the Bits Per Sample is not showing in the technical metadata for EXR codec.
• Fixed an issue where Create Placeholder Asset action is not working when no default metadata definition or variant is supplied.
• Third-Party Access: Fixed an issue where Third-Party user data becomes obsolete after Third-Party Access configuration is updated entirely. Issue fixed by adding a validation to prevent user from removing Third-Party Access role from the account metadata if it is referenced by Third-Party user(s).
• Third-party user: Fixed an issue where UDO creation fails for third-party users that do not have access to the default workspace in the account. NOTE: If the third-party user has no assigned workspace and the root UDOT has workspace supported = true, then the third-party user will not be able to create a UDO from the UDOT.  
• Fixed an issue where a System Error was displayed when trying to view any objects via Act As permission from master account after selecting the tenant account and workspace.
