What's new in version 3.0? Posted May 11, 2010:
- Added support for 64b for After Effects and Premiere CS5.
- Significant speed enhancements.
- Better error handling within Premiere.
- SK Z Blur: adds Highlights (specular) render controls
- SK Sharpen is much faster, adds edge suppression. Also changed Multi-Res checkbox to a menu with 2 different types
- SK Gaussian: Repeat Pixels mode now has better behavior
- Bloom mode now works properly on images with a non-full alpha
- SK Directional With Splines: Added "Use Mask Opacity" in menu to be more clear
What's new in version 2.2? Posted July 28, 2009:
- Fixed a problem in floating point with View Mode set to Deviation Map.
- Fixed a problem using Deviation Source in SK Gaussian Per Pixel.
- Fixed an issue using SmoothKit StairCase Suppress with certain Alpha Modes and images with non-full alpha.
- Fixed a memory leak in SmoothKit Staircase Suppress.
- Fixed potential issue with SmoothKit Frame Accumulate with large frame windows and AE's Multi-Processing preference turned on.
- More accurate rendering with SmoothKit ZBlur on images with pixels with non-full alpha.
- Fixed a problem with SmoothKit Directional pixels if the source had pixels with non-full alpha.
- Fixed a potential issue in Combustion with SK Directional, Gaussian Per Pixel and Diffuse where Combustion could return an auxiliary buffer not the same bit depth as the main input and cause the plugin to crash. Now a red frame is returned to indicate that your inputs must be the same bit depth.
What's new in version 2.1.1? Posted February 11, 2009:
- Fixed a bug where large frame times caused SK Sharpen to function abnormally (and perhaps even report an error).
- Fixed a bug where animating the radius in SK Sharpen did not properly work.
What's new in version 2.1? Posted January 20, 2009:
- Fixed five plugins in SmoothKit V2 that had a problem with optional image inputs when they were not the same size as main input (bug only seen AE 7.0 and later).
- Fixed Z Blur so that when no z-depth image is selected that the plugin produces a red frame instead of simply not working (which could cause the plugin to never work properly).
- SmoothKit Gaussian Per Pixel: fixed a problem where the "Size Modulation Control" was not working as expected.
- SmoothKit Gaussian Per Pixel: some Process Modes when used with a Max Deviation (threshold) setting of less than 100% would leave a black fringe when an image had pixels with less than 100% alpha.
- SK Directional Per Pixel: Fix a bug where the alpha of the source was not copied in View Modes other than Blurred Result.
- SK Directional with Splines: Fixed a bug that, when used, caused Fusion to hang. SK Directional with Splines is not supported in Fusion and now simply does nothing instead of causing Fusion to hang.
- Fixed a bug in SK Gaussian and SK Staircase Suppress that caused "Repeat Edge Pixels" to not work properly in 16bpc for some host applications.
- Fixed a bug in SK Frame Accumulate that caused 16bpc mode to not work properly for some host applications.
