Vixen 3.3 is now available.
http://www.vixenlights.com/downloads/vixen-3-downloads/
General
• New effect layering system. Effects can now be assigned to layers. Multiple layers can be defined per sequence. Each layer has a user definable combining filter. Effects now combine at the sequence level (it used to be at the controller level, after the patching filters). Layers are processed top down. Layers can be reordered. This provides for nearly endless combinations of effects.
• Major performance improvements to the execution engine. The layer system greatly helped this process. But many other optimizations and streamlined procedures were done to greatly improve performance throughout the system. Real profiles of over 50,000 channels will now play smoothly with preview and controllers enabled average PCs (but still not on old junk) Even larger profiles will play with controllers or preview disabled.
• Many New effects, and old nutcracker effects were converted into native Vixen effects and enhanced with native Vixen functionality. *Three of these effects are audio interactive effects. These are used to create visual effects based on the audio track on the timeline.
New Effects:
• Added additional functionality to existing effects
• Several performance improvements to preview, and preview setup.
• Improvements to handle high DPI displays better.
• Many usability enhancements and general UI polish.
Installer
• Changes to handle installs on Win 10 and not try to install .NET 4.5.2 as Win 10 comes with 4.6.Many usability enhancements and general UI polish.
Deprecation Notice
• The consolidated Nutcracker effect has been deprecated and will no longer be supported. Existing effect will continue to work, but efforts should be made to migrate to the newer standalone versions of the individual effects.
