---== Fresh Curves V1.16 for After Effects ==---
------------------------------------------------

	This software has been programmed to work in After Effects and Premiere CC and up.
	If you encounter difficulties installing or using this software please send a mail to:

	support (at) frischluft.com


System Requierements:
---------------------

Windows: 7 or up
MacOS: 11.0 or up


Installation:
-------------

1) Install files

	Move all files from the package to the plugins folder.


	Finding the plugins folder
	--------------------------

	The easiest way to install the plugins for usage with After Effects
	and Premiere at the same time is to use the MediaCore folder:

	Windows: Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore
	Mac OSX: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore

	If you are on a version before CC the "7.0" has to be replaced by your version (i.e. CS6).

	Alternatively you can also copy the plugins into the applications plugins folder directly.
	In After Effects that is the sub folder of the application named 'Plug-ins'.
	In Premiere it is the folder 'Plug-ins/Common' in the application folder.

2) Install License File

	If you have purchased this software you have received a file with extension .lic.
	Place it into the same folder the plugins sit in to remove the demo restrictions!
	Removing the demo.lic file is not necessary but recommended. You may rename
	the license file if you wish as long as the extension remains .lic.

	An alternative location for the License file is in a folder named frischluft in
	your user home folder. On my machines this would be
	Windows: C:\Users\philipp\frischluft\
	MacOS: /Users/philipp/frischluft/


3) Restart Host

	The filters will then show up in the filter menu under the name of Frischluft.



Cuda Support:
-------------

In order to take Advantage of Cuda you need Cuda drivers Version 10.1 and up and a NVidia card
capable with compute capability version 3.0 to 7.5. That are the following Generations:
Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing. At the time of this writing here is a list for reference where
you can look up concrete cards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#GPUs_supported)

Windows: If you are not sure just install the latest Driver version from the NVidia website.
         Cuda drivers come with the normal driver package.

MacOS: Cuda is no longer supported on MacOS.




Change log:
-----------
V1.1.6
	- added support for multi frame rendering (MFR)
	- added support for apple silicon CPU
	- fixed gui problem in hires monitors

V1.1.5
	- removed old cuda implementation which uploaded from cpu to gpu and back after.
	  Now the plugins are using the Premiere and After Effects gpu apis. This way the cpu
	  does not need to be involved anymore.

V1.1.4
	- fixed bug with AE CC 2019
	- added Cuda Support for Volta and Turing
	- removed support for Fermi because it is no longer supported by Cuda compiler nvcc

V1.1.3
	- added Cuda support for Pascal devices
	- fixed yet another bug connected to new code base, that led to crashes in situations with multiple plugin instances
	- fixed problem that could have caused crashes in 16 bit color mode
	- fixed bug that occured if graphics card compute version is higher than largest supported compute version in plugin
	- fixed structural bug that could cause cuda frames to not render
	- worked around a bug in After Effects that caused crashes in OSX
	- fixed cosmetic problem where After Effects would complain about something the plugin did

V1.1.2
	- reintroduced double precicion curves. It had been changed to single float earlier for
	  performance optimization but turned out to cause artifacts in some cases.
	- code base refacturing/consolidation
	- fixed bug during UI Drawing that caused instabilities in After Effects CC 2015

V1.1.1:
	- added support for After Effects 13.5
	- fixed Cuda related bugs potentially causing crashes and hangs
	- some Cuda performance improvements
	- UI drawing optimizations under After Effects. Especially for high res displays.
	- dropped support for 32 bit versions of After Effects
	- Premiere Versions before CC are no longer supported

V1.1:
	- added Cuda implementation (please refer to the manual for details)
	- added support for horizontal resizing in After Effects
	- added master parameter to dial effect in and out
	- added native pixel format support for Premiere
	- fixed problem with hue calculation

V1.0.7:
	- removed problems with the node properties that had been introduced in the 64 bit version of V1.0.6.

V1.0.6:
	- CS6 support
	- license file can now also be placed in 'frischluft/' within the users home folder

V1.0.5:
	- fixed a problem that could cause wrong results in the Hue curve in newly loaded projects

V1.0.4:
	- changed naming scheme to 'FL Plugin Name' to avoid confusion with existing plugins

V1.0.3:
	- 64Bit Release

V1.0.2:
	- reduced plugin sizes.

V1.0.1:
	- fixed a problem related to loading/saving presets and projects that
	  could cause artifacts and crashes in Relative Curves under Windows.
	- fixed a problem where after loading projects or presets the displayed
	  curve was different from the selection.
	- worked around a problem in After Effects CS3. If applied to an
	  adjustment layer with a mask everything outside the mask was transparent.
	  
V1.0:	Initial Release
