Version: 4.6.5 - November 13, 2009 * Adds the ability to set and environment variable RVL_SERVER to specify the floating license server (instead of searching for a settings file on disk) when retrieving floating licenses. Version: 4.6.3 - June 18, 2008 * Updated floating license support to be compatible with our license server v1.1. Users of Twixtor 4.5.6 with floating licenses must use v1.1 of our license server (or later), and vice-versa. For Shake 4.10 only. * Added support in render-only mode to display version of Twixtor plugin when "-v" is presented to shake on the command-line (and if the shake script includes a Twixtor node) Version: 4.5.5 - June 30, 2006 * Adds support for Shake 4.10, including Intel support for Macintosh. * Fixes a bug where speckles can occur when using a foreground matte. Version: 4.5.4 - November 15, 2005 * Fixed a bug where Twixtor clamped floating point values when slowing down footage when Motion Blur Compensation is greater than 0. Version: 4.5.2 - July 7, 2005 * Fixed a problem in Twixtor Pro where InvMatteShrink values were being ignored. * Fixed a problem when debugging motion vectors where black frames were created when "Image Track" was turned off and there was one or more foreground layers. Version: 4.5.1 - June 21, 2005 * Fixed a problem with some values for the InvMatteChoke setting that caused layers to be incorrecly calculated. Version: 4.5 - June 15, 2005 * Tracking completely rewritten from the ground up. Twixtor is much more accurate and exhibits fewer artifacts when there are objects crossing in the scene. (note that the "Crossing Objects?" checkbox of previous versions is gone because the new tracking in Twixtor 4.5 takes into account crossing objects to the best of its ability). * Floating point support added * Motion vector export and import. * Processing can be stopped by hitting the ESC key. This means that as you are setting up parameters you don?t have to wait until each render is done to make several changes. * You can specify that the sequence on disk starts at the proper frame number * Added an option to automatically enhance dark imagery or imagery with poorly defined edges. In many cases, footage that was difficult to track becomes much more well-behaved upon retiming. * Added a smart blending option for pans and zooms to prevent inappropriate streaking. * Motion blur parameter renamed Motion Blur Compensation because it now controls the removal of motion blur as well as the addition of motion blur. This parameter now defaults to 0 instead of 0.5. * Regrouped the parameters so that they are divided into diferent groupings. * Now correclty handles input IFF files that have a DOD other the full image size. * On Linux and Macintosh, license files now have the machine id in the license file name. This means all licenses for a site can be created on one machine and then simply copied to all the other machines at the site. * Of course, new features were added to Twixtor 4.5. For info on what is new in version 4.5 see the main Twixtor page and the manual that comes with the installer. * Scripts with Twixtor 3 are easily modified to be used with Twixtor 4 instead (see the manual for complete details): Simply open up your script in a text editor and change the references of Twixtor3 nodes (note: no space) to Twixtor4. Since the first parameter doesn't start with the string "v4.5" Twixtor knows to convert the Twixtor 3 settings to Twixtor 4 settings. Conversions of scripts with Twixtor 1.4 are not supported. Version: 3.2.1 - June 28, 2004 * Fixed crashing bug. * Fixed a problem where Twixtor's tracking points don't work properly when working in anything but the base resolution. * More optimizations for Macintosh version added. * Fixed a problem where Twixtor was not properly reporting the arguments it needed when running "shake -help." This could cause problems when running Twixtor in Shake using the command-line. * The Motion Sensitivity setting is now more continous when determining how far pixels are tracked (in previous versions, the motion sensitivity only changed in discreet jumps). Version: 3.2 - December 17, 2003 * Multiprocessor support added. Users will see a significant speedup on multiprocessor machines. * G5 optimization added for Mac versions of the products. * Fixed a bug that caused no motion blur to be added when clips are sped up, even if directed to by the user. * Tracking problems have been fixed in certain cases when using layer separation in Twixtor Pro. * Fixed a bug that caused Twixtor in certain situations to spit out bad frames when working in 16 bits per channel. * Fixed a bug that caused the first frame to come out black in some situations. * Fixed a bug that caused seemingly random crashes. Version: 3.1 - August 14, 2003 * Updated manuals to reflect updated features * Update Shake 3 manuals to properly reflect how the rotosplines of RE:Flex should work in Shake 3 * Fixed several crashing bugs * Fixed RE:Flex so that when saving a script or auto-saving a script, the interface on RE:Flex's parameters doesn't reset (close up hierarchical parameters that are opened, jump/scroll to the top of the param list, etc.) Version: 3.0.2 - July 23, 2003 * Fixed Twixtor to work with the global variables pixelScale and pixelRatio * Fixed a crashing bug in the Linux version when using rotosplines Version: 3.0.1 - June 9, 2003 * Fixed a bug that caused a crash when trying to output Cineon or dpx files. Version: 3.0 - April 1, 2003 * All Pro 3.0 features have been added. See main Twixtor page for info on what is new. Version: 1.4 - 12/13/2001 * Fixed a problem where the speed parameter did not work properly * Updated support for speed remapping, in addition to previous versions' ability to frame remap. * In Irix version, fixed problem of multiple renders (at the same time) failing occasionally on multiple-cpu machines. Version: 1.3.1 - * Many licensing bugs in the Windows version have been fixed. * Twixtored output was erratic and unusable when speeding up footage in previous versions. This has been fixed. * Support for Shake 2.4
