latest version crashes when changing samples from 1 to any number. last version didn't do this.
also crashes when you try to enable temporal smoothing and averaging at the same time.
Same here.

After Effects 2022 & beta same behavior
Although previously, a single from of drastically downscaled 480p footage took 12 seconds on the same rig, so I'll take it. Down to 2.5-4sec/frame on this version. Looking forward to continued improvements, this plugin will be a gamechanger!
Both the standard and GPU option seem very unstable - can barely do anything with them without AE crashing. It seemed to work fine for a little while though. Maybe some sort of caching / memory issue?
Really cool plugin; but has a ton of stability issues. It's pretty much a 50/50 shot that you're AE is going to crash. Once that's worked out it'll be great.
Major hard time getting this to work, seems like alot of memory leak it s just not usable at this state.. maybe it has something to do with Ae 22.5 but I can t run this plugin as it uses so much memory.

(Tried the GPU version)
Specs are 128 gig ram
RTX 3090 ti
i9 12 900k
ya seam to use more ram for sure. ive got 16gigs @ 90% with cpu hammered and gpu @ 30%. ram usage used to be @60% in previous versions.
Excellent plugin. I am using it to create camera movements and camera focus effects for Midjourney AI art, and I am very happy with the results. Running it on a razer blade laptop with Nvidia RTX 2080, works smoothly with only minor stability issues (crashed once, and time after time when I quit after effects it throws exception error) - small price to pay for the possibilities.
I m not sure what you changed in only 7 days from version 1.34 but wow what a difference, I m not getting any memory leak works fast and perfect ! great job on the update.
Definitely now buying this plug-in thx for the trial and fixing the lag issue
Hi is there a way that you can have alot of details with this tool? For exemple to see the nose, eyes, lips of a face. I don't see those kind of details in your demo, I just want to know if we can push the plugin at that point. Thanks in advance!
Hi. Thank you for this awesome plugin. In order to have better depth map, I would like to use HDR source. Are depth scanner and AEE compatible with HDR contents? I'm using 1.3.8 GPU plugin for windows. Thanks.

Depth Scanner is fully compatible with 32bit workflows. However, feeding a non-tonemapped hdr source into the plugin might give poor result. Best, you give it a try on your footage.

Hi Eric Weindel. Is it the way depth scanner works? Or is it an other plugin?
the youtube video is from a research project. I don't know how depth scanner works to alleviate jitter / depth inconsistency. I just got it for testing recently
I've been really curious about this plugin as it looks very impressive. I got to try the NVIDIA GPU version out a bit and it's pretty nice so far!
I'm also curious about the update roadmap for Depth Scanner. I see in the version history that it does support Multi-Frame Rendering. However in After Effects, I get a notification saying that it is not optimized for Multi-Frame Rendering. This is with the current 2023 version of After Effects.
Could be something on Adobe's end or some clarification, but I would love to see continued improvement and support in the Multi-Frame Rendering performance if possible.
I use an RTX 4090 GPU in my setup and while it can handle Depth Scanner, even that monster of a GPU got really put to the test with this plugin and it can get a bit slow with the highest of settings (but that's just me really stress testing it with the plugin). I also use a Ryzen 9 7950x CPU as well with 128GB of DDR5 RAM to give a better idea of how the plugin performs with this kind of setup.
Overall though, this is a very fascinating plugin as I would love to use this for simulating depth of field in some shots as well as additional VFX work.
I would say if the Multi-Frame Rendering performance can be further improved so that the little "exclamation point" in After Effects would go away, then this would be an absolute winner here.
I got an email today that the most recent version is 1.4.9, however the Windows version hasn't updated on my machine in "AEscripts and plugin manager" program since 1.3.8.
I recognize you're working on getting Mac stuff updated, but just be mindful that the email updates are going to all users, and it's a little confusing.
hello to all, I bought the plugin the day before yesterday, I had problem especially on its optimization which eats a lot of resources. (core i9 12th gen, 64go ram etc 3070 ti)
I downloaded it from the default manager gave me the power hungry version.Support prompts me to download from my account The GPU version, I installed it actually works well but as soon as we ask for precision it bugs and cuts after effects.
What is also frustrating is that there is no tutorial that talks about each version.I wanted to do a slicing but impossible to do like on the youtube videos, I have adjustment modules that are not on the other videos (my version 1.5.2) .
I also don't have the heat map.Other plugin creators like lockdown video update their update.We pay 100€ for us to get by, it's not serious
Hey there - whats the current state on the M1 installation issue? Installation crashes but the plugin appears in AE - but tells me "Plugin encountered a problem. Please follow the instructions on bit.ly/blacesupport" (on there is basically pc stuff )-:
Just got a new PC for rendering, 3080TI GPU... using the NVIDIA accelerated version and the same version as my previous PC, but on the new PC every time I change samples to 2 or higher, the map just goes solid gray. it renders as if it's working, but there's no actual map generated, just gray fuzz.
The idea of this plugin is amazing, but I am still using the trial version to see if the improvements get to a point where I think it is worth buying. For me, the biggest problem yet that it tries to render everything as soon as you add the effect. It should have a render bar like Warp Stabilizer to let it run on background without crashing and freezing the whole program. The second thing that would make the plugin a lot better is if they add better model trained on faces. Today if you try to run this plugin to recognize the depth of a face, it creates pretty much a flat face with a round head.

1.3.2 (Current version) - Jun 23, 2022
A definite game changer.
I'll show it to you via PM.
Addendum:
As a next product, I'd love to see an AI frame interpolation plugin based on "TimeLens: Event-based Video Frame Interpolation". :-)
