1. Freepath December Update
There's a new set of Freepath features in the December update - it is our biggest yet! Many of you will
recognize your suggestions in these functions. Freepath updates itself automatically with the latest
available features when you launch. Restart Freepath and you'll be ready to go.
Below is an overview of new features in this update:
DIRECT UPLOAD
Now you can upload your playlists directly into your myFreepath account from inside Freepath. You no
longer need to launch a browser, log in to myFreepath and upload a playlist.
From inside Freepath, simply select a playlist in your library, click the new button that appears to the
right of the New Playlist button (green plus sign) above your Library (it’s the fancy new button with the
arrow and the Freepath logo), a box will appear where you enter your playlist information, set a
permission level and then select “ok” to upload. Now it’s easier to get your content uploaded into
myFreepath to collaborate, share or just store—it’s up to you!
You can also access this feature through the "Share" menu, or by right clicking any playlist in your local
library and choosing "Upload".
AUTOPLAY
My favorite new feature! This enables you to present your playlist content without having to hit the
spacebar or right arrow. Think cruise control for Freepath. Turn on this cool new feature and go grab an
espresso, chat with your audience or take a nap…up to you! Whatever you decide, your audience will be
captivated as your digital media is displayed automatically. This is a great feature for trade shows, kiosks
or whenever you want to display your media content in autopilot. Look mom, no hands!
There are two ways to activate this feature:
Drop down menu:
From the “Show” drop down menu at the top, select Autoplay. A check mark will appear when this
feature is enabled. Use the slide bar to increase or decrease transition time between your media
content.
Under the Preview Window:
To the right, you will see a small button with ellipsis, aka "..." . This is the button to turn on Autoplay for

2. your selected playlist. Click the button to make the slider appear with a number to the left. Use the slide
bar to increase or decrease "on-air" time for each visual cue. (Video files will override this time and play
from start point to end point.) The button turns green when Autoplay is enabled. Click the button again
to turn it off.
Note: Audio files are ignored in the sequence, but can be looped in the usual way using the Audio AV
rack tool. Start your audio sequence separately from the auto-play.
AUDIENCE VIEW CONTROLS
Could life get any easier? We thought so, so we are introducing a new way to get to two of your favorite
audience view controls. No longer do you need to travel with your cursor all the way up to the
dropdown menu. You'll see two shiny new buttons under the preview window.
Dissolve button:
Now you can turn on/off the dissolve feature from the click of a button. The box will appear blue when
the dissolve feature is enabled, a white/gray gradient box will appear when this feature is turned off.
Padlock:
Select the padlock to change the default from locked to unlocked in full screen mode. Remember unlock
allows you to edit your content or select links on a webpage without leaving your presentation; enable
lock mode to move through your presentation.
You still have the ability to override this setting while in Full Screen mode, simply drag your cursor to the
bottom of the screen and the toolbar will appear in the bottom left hand corner.
ONE CLICK TO UNLOCK
Like I said, we are all about making your life easier so we have added the ONE CLICK UNLOCK feature.
Remember in the old days when you had to double click to unlock the screen when you were in
presentation view. No more! A single click will do ya! Simply click once anywhere on the Audience
screen to unlock. Edit a document, traverse a website, pick the content and do what you will from within
the audience screen.
Remember to re-lock your screen with the padlock in the lower-right of your full screen toolbar is you
want to continue navigating forward with a remote or keyboard controls.
POWERPOINT CHOOSER: NOW TWO VIEWS
We have added a few new features to the slide selector. Double click on a presentation while in prep or
dual modes, the slide selector now appears embedded at the bottom of the playlist. More of a free
spirit? In the slide selector, select the button at the top left corner of your chooser to use PowerPoint in
the original Freepath way.

3. We have also added a slide bar that allows you to increase or decrease the size of your slide thumbnails
that appear within the slide selector.
Wow! That was a mouthful. We can't wait to see how you make use of these cool new features. As
always, we want your feedback! Please let us know what you think. Now that you know what’s new,
go .PLAY!
