Colorflow – New Features

========================



ColorFlow – V1.5 Changelog



Quick Summary



* New: Extract colors from a paused video frame (+ button when video is stopped)

* Improved: Image/video extraction finds off-center colors more reliably

* Behavior: "Force Extraction" in Settings enables deep sampling; default is fast & conservative



What’s New (User-Facing)



* Paused Video Frame Sampling: Pause video → click + → adds dominant colors to palette

* Smarter Image Sampling: With Force Extraction, uses multiple/random points until unique colors are found

* Configurable Depth: Default \~25 samples. Change via config.videoSampleCount. Presets: 9 / 25 / 49

* Duplicate-Aware Retries: If many samples are identical, retries up to safe caps



How to Use



1. Pause video at the frame you want

2. Select the layer (video/image)

3. Click the + button

4. For deeper search: Settings → enable Force Extraction



Technical / Notes



* Uses hidden nulls with temporary color controls

* Safety caps:



* Up to 20 samples per extraction (dynamic mode)

* Up to 200 random attempts for unique colors

* Deduplication avoids near-identical colors



Troubleshooting



* Few/no colors?



* Ensure comp is paused at correct frame

* Try Force Extraction

* Increase sample count (videoSampleCount)

* Lag?



* Disable Force Extraction to lower sample count
