P4 DAM 2026.1 release notes

Released: March 2026

Before you install or upgrade

P4 DAM is built on top of Perforce TeamHub. Installing or upgrading P4 DAM uses Perforce TeamHub packages. Upgrading is usually a zero-downtime operation and can be performed on a live system. Ensure you are running a supported version of P4 Server and P4 Search before upgrading P4 DAM. To learn more, see P4 authentication prerequisites.

Before you upgrade to P4 DAM 2026.1, you must be using P4 DAM 2025.2 or later. For detailed instructions, see Upgrade instructions in the P4 DAM 2025.2 release notes.

Improved video playback with new controls

Use new playback controls to step forward or backward by one-second increments. If the video has a constant frame rate, you can step through it frame by frame and view the frame rate. You can also adjust the playback speed.

To learn more, see View assets.

Compare image versions with new overlay and difference tools

Use the Overlay tool to compare image versions by stacking one version on top of another. Adjust the opacity slider to control how much of each version appears.

Use the Show differences tool to highlight only the areas that changed between the versions. You can choose a highlight color, adjust the threshold, turn intensity on or off, switch to black‑and‑white mode, and change the brightness.

PSD files are supported for image comparison.

To learn more, see Compare asset versions.

Change the 3D view with background and grid settings

Set a background color and show the grid (or ground plane) when viewing a 3D model in P4 DAM.
