LightSweepPro 1.3.3 (for After Effects)

v1.3.3:
- Bug fix: Fixed a crash that could take After Effects down while the effect was rendering. It happened when After Effects handed the effect an input frame smaller than the frame it asked us to render - most reliably right after a layer had been moved outside the composition frame and that change was undone. The effect now fills anything the input does not cover instead of reading past it.
- Bug fix: Fixed a crash in the trial watermark on large compositions. The watermark built each row on the call stack, which could exhaust it at 4K and above. It now uses a heap buffer. This only ever affected unlicensed (trial) use.
- Bug fix: Chromatic Aberration no longer reads outside the image on compositions only one pixel wide or tall. Those sizes now fall back to the center sample.
- Note: These are all guards against conditions that should not occur in a normal render, so ordinary output is unchanged from v1.3.2.

1.3.2 - Jul 27, 2026
Internal: Renewed the macOS Developer ID Application code-signing certificate and re-notarized the plugin.
No functional or behavioral changes.
1.3.1 - May 28, 2026
- Bug fix: Sweep Mode "Center-In" now correctly converges from the edge of the composition to the center, behaving as the round counterpart to Edge-to-Center. Previously Center-In rendered identically to Center-Out due to Gaussian symmetry in the distance function (both modes showed the same ring at radius_offset).
- Bug fix: Edge Glow now produces dual-peak lead/trail rings for all radial Sweep Modes (Center-Out, Center-In, Edge-to-Center, Custom Origin), matching the front-runner + after-glow behavior of Linear mode. Previously Radial modes only showed a single brightness peak, making the Edge Width parameter feel ineffective in those modes.
- Note: Projects using Center-In or radial Edge Glow in v1.3.0 will render with the corrected behavior in v1.3.1. If you prefer the v1.3.0 appearance, stay on v1.3.0.
1.3.0 - May 27, 2026
- New: Radial Sweep modes — 4 new sweep modes (Center-Out, Center-In, Edge-to-Center, Custom Origin) in addition to the existing Linear mode
- New: Origin Point parameter for Custom Origin sweep mode (independent from Center)
- New: Radius Offset parameter (-300% to +300%) for keyframing radial sweep expansion/contraction; ideal for "light explodes from center" or "light closes in" animations with a single parameter
- New: Scale Mode (Pixel / Relative) — switches spatial parameters between absolute pixels and percentage of composition short edge. Use Relative for consistent looks across vertical (9:16), horizontal (16:9), and square (1:1) compositions — perfect for TikTok / Reels / YouTube Shorts workflows
- 5 parameters become Relative-aware in Relative mode: Width, Bevel Width, Noise Scale, Edge Width, CA Amount
- Internal: Version.h aligned to 1.3.0 (caught up from 1.1.0 baseline; About / Register dialog now displays the correct version)
- Compatibility: Existing AEPs from v1.0 / v1.1 / v1.2 open unchanged. All new parameters default to existing behavior (Scale Mode = Pixel, Sweep Mode = Linear, Radius Offset = 0).
1.2.0 - May 25, 2026
- Added macOS support: Universal Binary (Apple Silicon and Intel)
- Existing licenses automatically cover both Windows and macOS
1.1.0 - Apr 18, 2026
- Improved resolution scaling: preview at Half/Third/Quarter resolution now closely matches full resolution rendering
- Width, Bevel Width, and Noise Scale parameters now correctly scale with preview resolution
