- Windows Popup : the User Guide is better rendered now, using Edge Chromium WebView2 when available. You can download and install it from the bottom of this official Microsoft page https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/
- Bug fix : the Settings and License popup was opening the User Guide on Autokroma.com after a technical update of our website
- macOS : Vizual Installer is now packaged as a .DMG file with a nice interface, simply double click on the downloaded .DMG file and run the .pkg installer that shows up. The installer now also creates an Autokroma folder inside /Applications/ with a Vizual Uninstaller and a link to Vizual popup so you can more easily access them like any other macOS Application
- Support for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder 2025 / v25 and 2024 / v24
- Plugin loading issue : if you had an old version of PixelPerfect (or any other plugin) installed and can't load this plugin in newer After Effects versions, please try to delete AEfx Preferences and Plugins Cache by going in our Uninstaller and ticking the appropriate checkbox, then relaunch After Effects. For Premiere Pro you can press SHIFT while launching it and you will have a checkbox to flush the plugin cache
- macOS : minimum supported version is now 11.0 (Big Sur)
- Support for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder 2023 / v23
- After Effects : Support for MFR (Multi-Frame Rendering) optimization for AEfx 2022 (v22) onwards
- Improvements of the upscaling algorithm :
- Alpha Ghosting : it will not show color ghosting from pixels with non-opaque pixels anymore, it was especially noticeable on sprites with a non-black background color "behind" transparent pixels. It was also showing weird borders around the sprite edges in some cases (for example gray borders for white background color), fixed
- No longer moving the image one pixel towards the bottom right direction
- Sometimes the last row pixels and last column pixels were incorrect
- After Effects bugs fixes :
- When doing a preview with a lower resolution (Half, Third, Quarter etc.) position is now correct, the output does not move randomly anymore
- Purging (using Edit -> Purge -> Image Cache Memory) to force a new render of PixelPerfect will no longer give a different output position after an anchor value change
- Premiere Pro setting "Sequence Settings" -> "Fields" to "Upper Field First" or "Lower Field First" is now giving notification that it's not supported and displays a red output, instead of for example displaying a black output. PixelPerfect never supported Interlaced input / output but now you are warned explicitly about it
- New button "Settings" in the Effect GUI for you to launch the popup easily, on the left of this button the version of PixelPerfect is shown
- PixelPerfect now will remind you in the future to update the plugin when its outdated after a Premiere Pro / After Effects update
- Windows : you can run our Install and Uninstaller .exe in command line like this : 'start "Autokroma" /wait /b "InstallerOrUninstaller.exe" /S', for our uninstaller you can pass an argument to specify which product to uninstall like this : '-Uninstall_Vizual'. Do not forget to run your Terminal as Administrator, otherwise you will need user interaction to confirm the Administrator rights prompt. This also works using Microsoft SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) to automate deployment
- New Autokroma About popup where you can see your others Autokroma licenses, access the User Guide online and see the About. You can access it by clicking the top right icon in the PixelPerfect effect on Premiere Pro and clicking "Options..." top right of the PixelPerfect effect on After Effects. The popup will warn you when a new update of Vizual is available, please check it often ! We also have a "Debug Logs" button there to gather all logs from Adobe so you can send us easily a .zip containing all logging information
