1.2.6 - Oct 8, 2021
* Fixed Important Bug : .mxf files trimmed with different start time had its Audio timeline Clip removed
* Improvements:
- Added a new Project Control final step in the PlumePack process : the process will take a bit more time to run, but it will be safer for the final project
- Keyframes are now supported for Media Trimming
- Clip Markers are now supported for Media Trimming
- PlumePack engine now supports Apple silicon (for example the M1 CPU) with aescripts + aeplugins licensing - No difference for users, except that it could improve performances on those devices
* Some effects are now excluded from trimming because they were involving bugs after replacement (media are copied instead) :
- (Native) Timewarp
- (Native) Echo
- (Native) Posterize Time
- (Native) Pixel Motion Blur
- (Plugin) Twixtor
* Fixed:
- Error which could happen while Analysing/Consolidating a project the first time

1.2.5 - Sep 23, 2021
* We found a bug with keyframes and clip markers which could be shifted when using trimming. We disabled temporarily media trimming when a clip in timeline has keyframes or markers (the media is excluded from trimming and copied instead) and we plan to release a real bug fix in the next version. Please update as soon as possible to avoid the keyframe/marker shift !
* New "Notification" button in PlumePack to get all important news about the plugin but also global Autokroma news ! When one or multiple new unread notifications are available, the icon to show those notifications will change
