Known Bugs and Workarounds

1. Multiprocessing - BUG ID 194 - There is a multiprocessing rendering bug shown up as half screen renders. Only seen on Intel PCs with dual core. As a workaround you could temporarily set the environment variable FOUNDRY_MAX_PROCESSORS to 1.

1. Edge Colour Correction - BUG ID 3176 - colour correction of the edges failed to work. This has been fixed.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

1. About Dialog - on Mac OS X only, launching the About dialog from the Keylight banner and then clicking off the dialog forces the dialog into the background under the AE application window. Subsequent interaction with After Effects would fail. To get round this, move the After Effects application to one side to reveal the Keylight dialog underneath, then click on the dialog to close it.

Requirements

Release Date

New Features

Improvements

Fixed Bugs

1. Adaptive Rendering - in Keylight 1.2v5, when scrubbing along the timeline with adaptive rendering switched on, the screen would freeze. An interrupt call was being treated as an error and a redraw wasn't called. This has been fixed in Keylight 1.2v6.
2. About Dialog - clicking on the Keylight banner to show the About dialog caused the After Effects viewing window to render black. This has been fixed by disabling the ability to launch the dialog from the banner. Click on the standard Adobe "About" text at the top of the plug-in panel instead,
3. Snapshot - BUG ID 231 - snapshot buttons broken when using Keylight with After Effects 7.0. This bug has been fixed in AE CS3.

Keylight 1.2v2

Requirements

Release Date

New Features

Improvements

Fixed Bugs

1. SSE2 - BUG ID 801 - the previous version of Keylight was compiled with a sse2 flag preventing it from working on very old hardware running Windows. This version has been recompiled with sse1 to fix this problem affecting a minority of customers.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

1. Multiprocessing - BUG ID 194 - There is a multiprocessing rendering bug shown up as half screen renders. Only seen on Intel PCs with dual core. As a workaround you could temporarily set the environment variable FOUNDRY_MAX_PROCESSORS to 1.

Known Bugs with After Effects and Workarounds

1. Snapshot - BUG ID 231 - snapshot buttons broken when using Keylight with After Effects 7.0. If you apply Keylight and snapshot the image, change some parameters and recall that saved snapshot, it is displayed only for a fraction of a second. As a workaround use the Shift-F5 and F5 keys instead. This bug has been fixed in AE CS3.

Keylight 1.2v1

Requirements

Release Date

New Features

1. FLEXlm license support for After Effects 7.0 Standard.

Improvements

1. The bias controls are now locked together by default.
2. The Keylight algorithm has been tweaked for improved floating point handling.
3. An environment variable (FOUNDRY_MAX_PROCESSORS 1) has been provided to switch off multi-processing as a temporary workaround for Bug ID 194.
4. Keylight is now versioned by name. This allows multiple versions of the plug-in to coexist on a single host.
5. 3GB Switch - the plug-ins have been compiled to take advantage of extended memory available in this mode.

Fixed Bugs

1. Inside Mask, Source Alpha set to Add To Inside Mask. When viewing the Status with the source alpha added to the inside mask the combined mattes were not drawn on screen even though the matte had been added. This has been fixed so that the Status correctly shows these combined mattes.
2. Source Crops - BUG ID 224 - changing the left crop value from 0 when X Method is Colour, produces a rendering error in the colour correction edges. This has been fixed.
3. Installer - BUG ID 223 - Keylight could only be installed to the default directory. This has been fixed.
4. Colour Correction Clipping - BUG ID 225 - colour correction of the foreground or edges is incorrectly clipped between 0 and 1 for floating point images. This has been fixed.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

1. Multiprocessing - BUG ID 194 - There is a multiprocessing rendering bug shown up as half screen renders. Only seen on Intel PCs with dual core. As a workaround you could temporarily set the environment variable FOUNDRY_MAX_PROCESSORS to 1.

Known Bugs with After Effects and Workarounds

1. Snapshot - BUG ID 231 - snapshot buttons broken when using Keylight with After Effects 7.0. If you apply Keylight and snapshot the image, change some parameters and recall that saved snapshot, it is displayed only for a fraction of a second. As a workaround use the Shift-F5 and F5 keys instead.
