PlumePack

Premiere	2023, 2022, 2021, 2020

2.2.1 (Current version) - Sep 4, 2023

* Main PlumePack Improvements:
- R3D SDK Version updated to 8.4.0 - Fixing Trimming Issues on some R3D Footages
- In Trim mode and not with the "One File Per Timeline Clip" mode, if a media is trimmed into multiple parts and if one part fails to be trimmed, the whole media will be copied and successful trimmed parts will be removed to minimize disk space as much as possible
* Fixed in PlumePack Process:
- Explicit Error : in MacOS when .aif were present in the project - but could also fix issues with other non trimmable extensions
- Explicit Error : while trimming some CINEFORM footages (maybe other codecs were concerned) - Files were copied instead
- Explicit Error : with Trimming enabled, when some nested or multicam sequence had some tracks locked

2.2.0 - Aug 21, 2023

* Main PlumePack New Features and improvements:
- H264/H265 now Out of Beta for Trimming ! Thanks to our users which sent us sample files, we updated our Trim Engine to fix numerous issues happening while trimming those files !
- New Filter Option "Only Process Media Outside of Project Parent Folder" : so you can save copy time and be sure all files used in your project are on the same folder
- New Option for Trimming "Do Not Remux To Mov If Needed" : In order to solve some of the trimming issues, some files could need to be remux from MXF to MOV. The extension will change, but it is not a re-encoding and so the frames keep their exact same qualities !
- New option for Trimming "Do Not Trim Audio-Only Files" : Make sure media with only audio streams are not trimmed during the PlumePack process
- New Option for "No Media Process" mode : "Remove Productions References" to make your project fully independent from other projects
- Checkbox Option "Copy Only Proxies" becomes now a choice between "Copying Only Proxies", "Copying Only Proxies OR Main Media if no Proxy attached", or "Copy Main Media AND Proxies if attached"
- When using the "Filename : use Project Panel Item Name" option, AE Comp dependencies which are not imported in the PrPro project are renamed from the AEComp Project Item followed by original filename
- When using the "Filename : use Project Panel Item Name" option, copied Proxies are also renamed from the Project Item name
- Improved Details in UI Panel Feedback (Analysis and PlumePack Process) and final report
- Improved Progress Bar by mentioning which file is processed/copied/trimmed so it can reveals faulty network issues like corrupted files really long to copy/trim through network
* Fixed in PlumePack Process:
- Explicit Error : ProRes/DNxHD/HAP/Cineform/RLE/H264/H265/MPEG-2(XDCam) Trimming various Issues
- Explicit Error : when trimming Image Sequence with associated Audio shorter than Video
- Explicit Error : In some rare case with "Cut Timeline Clips" option enabled
- Explicit Error : When having Remix Clip Rendered and Replaced, in case option "Keep Only Chosen Sequence and Deps" is not used and audio clip is trimmed
- Explicit Error : When using "One File Per Timeline Clip" mode with AEgraphic file used multiple times - Error will not happen anymore and AEgraphics will only be copied once in this mode (limitation)
- Explicit Error : When output Filepath was too long for the OS - now it finishes the whole process and indicates which files are concerned and have not been processed
- Explicit Error : When a R3D file failed to be trimmed (because of various reason like corrupted media), the next ones were also declared on error by mistake
- Freezed Process (never finishing): If a media could not be copied for various reason, PlumePack was freezed
- Fixed Timecode Issues while trimming ProRes, DNxHD, HAP, Cineform, H264, H265
- Fixed Slight Audio Shifts which could happen with ProRes, DNxHD, HAP, Cineform, H264, H265
* Special Notes:
- Thanks to all our users which sent us Video samples ! Thanks to your files, we updated our Trimming Engine to a better and more robust version
- There is still an issue with MXF H264 file with profile 100 : Color Space was changed during trimming resulting in a different output color. We disabled trimming for those clips for now. If you have such files, please send us some samples !

- Explicit Error in rare situations when several relative path ("../..") were given by Premiere Pro

1.4.3 - Jan 31, 2022

* Improvements:
- Productions: PlumePack removes now any "References" to other projects and any used Project Items belongs to the PlumePacked project. So no need to "Generate Source Clips" anymore before launching the process
- The "More Infos" which gives details per media in the analysis has been renamed and is now unfolded by default
* Changes:
- PlumePack does not use the Fraunhofer FDK AAC anymore and use its internal engine for encoding aac now (only when needed + corresponding option enabled) - Both encoders have a great quality and the difference is generally not audible
* Fixed:
- The "Generate Source Clips" PrPro feature does not work with Merged Clips, and so PlumePack could not work when Merged Clips were used as Reference in the Project in a Productions Context
- Hidden Error : Media used in Graphic (through the Essential Graphic Panel) were not taken into account - They are now copied and excluded from trimming
- Explicit error when a Merged Clip had a modified speed

- Premiere Pro Crash when replacing media with a one frame trimmed media (when using Frame Hold and no handle for example), so now the minimum trim is 2 frames long
- Explicit error if path was a proxy path for a Project Item and a Media Path for another Project Item
- Explicit error if keyframes set on trimmed footage on rare cases
- Explicit error if Hold Frame used

- When running PlumePack in "Copy" mode, the analysis has now a "Switch" button, showing you what trimming can do to your project and how much disk space you could save
- The PlumePack final report is now automatically imported in the project at the end of the process, so it will be copied on the next PlumePack process
* Fixed:
- Explicit error when AEgraphics, AE comp or Merged Clips had some special characters in their filename
- Final filename could be changed for media which had a ";" character in their filename

* Fixed:
- Error when User Options were missing when loading the panel (first use of PlumePack)

1.3.0 - Nov 11, 2021

* New Feature:
- The "One Output for One Timeline Clip" mode is now extended to copied files. With this option you are sure that each clip in your timeline references a unique media file. Can be useful for batch sending pieces of the edit to different colorists / VFX and keep everything well separated. Note : audio clips linked to their video clip are not concerned with this feature.
* Improvements:
- The UI has been changed and the options have been separated into 2 different categories : "Media Process" and "Filter"

- New Option for "No Media Process" mode : "Remove Productions References" to make your project fully independent from other projects
- Checkbox Option "Copy Only Proxies" becomes now a choice between "Copying Only Proxies", "Copying Only Proxies OR Main Media if no Proxy attached", or "Copy Main Media AND Proxies if attached"
- When using the "Filename : use Project Panel Item Name" option, AE Comp dependencies which are not imported in the PrPro project are renamed from the AEComp Project Item followed by original filename
- When using the "Filename : use Project Panel Item Name" option, copied Proxies are also renamed from the Project Item name
- Improved Details in UI Panel Feedback (Analysis and PlumePack Process) and final report
- Improved Progress Bar by mentioning which file is processed/copied/trimmed so it can reveals faulty network issues like corrupted files really long to copy/trim through network

- Explicit Error : When having Remix Clip Rendered and Replaced, in case option "Keep Only Chosen Sequence and Deps" is not used and audio clip is trimmed
- Explicit Error : When using "One File Per Timeline Clip" mode with AEgraphic file used multiple times - Error will not happen anymore and AEgraphics will only be copied once in this mode (limitation)
- Explicit Error : When output Filepath was too long for the OS - now it finishes the whole process and indicates which files are concerned and have not been processed
- Explicit Error : When a R3D file failed to be trimmed (because of various reason like corrupted media), the next ones were also declared on error by mistake

- The "More Infos" which gives details per media in the analysis has been renamed and is now unfolded by default
* Changes:
- PlumePack does not use the Fraunhofer FDK AAC anymore and use its internal engine for encoding aac now (only when needed + corresponding option enabled) - Both encoders have a great quality and the difference is generally not audible
* Fixed:
- The "Generate Source Clips" PrPro feature does not work with Merged Clips, and so PlumePack could not work when Merged Clips were used as Reference in the Project in a Productions Context
- Hidden Error : Media used in Graphic (through the Essential Graphic Panel) were not taken into account - They are now copied and excluded from trimming
- Explicit error when a Merged Clip had a modified speed

- (Native) Echo
- (Native) Posterize Time
- (Native) Pixel Motion Blur
- (Plugin) Twixtor
* Fixed:
- Error which could happen while Analysing/Consolidating a project the first time
- Audio transition could be removed when an empty audio clip was removed because of the SlowMo Issue, the media is now excluded from trimming in this case * 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

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

- Some trimmed wav files could involved "Replacement Error" in the final Report and a final "Critical Error" state
- Critical Error when a Project Shortcut was present in the processed project
- Very big projects could make the panel restart while consolidating due to memory issues. Memory used by PlumePack has been optimized and reduced for that
- Not trimmed because used in a Merged Clip reason was not displayed on analysis and final report

1.2.2 - Aug 12, 2021

* Improvements:
- Loading feedback added for Sequences Dropdown List

- New option : "Force One Output File per Input File": Gives access to old trim behavior, only one trimmed file is created for each media based on min/max use along the project.
- New option : "One Output File for Each Timeline Clip" for a specific kind of workflow, which needs that every timeline clip comes from a unique media source (even if duplicated)
- Support clips with Speed Changed, Speed Reversed.
- Support clips with Footage Interpreted
- Support Subclips without hard boundaries
- H264 is no more a "Beta Codec", and so doesn't need anymore the "Trim New Codecs in Beta" option for being trimmed.
