hey hey hey, first post in a while. love this plugin but cant love it fully because of crashes. for a quarter third and a half resolution it works fine but when it comes to full it completely crashes my graphics driver and after effects. cant render it out also. it is super convenient have it in ae without having to make gifs and importing them into ps but its not stable. any tips to make this plugin work or it imposible without newer updates? cheers

after effects 24.4.1
amd radeon rx 6600 xt /// driver 24.8.1

Hey! Thanks for trying out my plugin. It's been a while since I've worked on this plugin so it's already due for a big clean-up and refactor!

Edit: Found the bug! Looks like any time the plugin takes more than 4294967295 nanoseconds to render a frame(about 4.3 seconds) it will error out. Expect a patch soon!

I've fixed some bugs and uploaded a new version! You can be certain that it's the latest version if you right-click and go to About and ensure the build date is September 8th! It can still be very slow on larger frames, but I'll work to do some big optimizations I've been meaning to do in due time.

hey, im very happy that you wanted to help and still working on 2 years old plugin haha but sadly this patch didnt help to me ;(( i would love to see some future updates for fixes or maybe adding new features and for sure will wait for one. love your work man!

UPDATE:
this version is more unstable now, i cant even play 4k clips wihout getting a crash

WunkoloDeveloper116 days ago

4k would take a very long time to seam-carve and it might even appear to hang at times due to how long it can take to process. Just reducing by 25% would be something like 3'628'800 carving iterations! I have some optimization ideas though to get it to re-use work across frames which would drastically increase this speed, but it may take some time unfortunately.

Does it still work on smaller frames or at half/quarter res? Is it crashing or just hanging?

i am aware that 4k clips are much demanding but version before it only didnt work in full resolution, now ae and graphics driver are crashing even in quarter. like before this message appears and only what i can do is kill ae process:

unfortunately i replaced the old version of a plugin with a newer one and i cant continue working on my project. can you upload this older version again? i will wait for optimization, take your time!!!

I've reverted all the changes I made and reuploaded B.Carve.aex to right before I started making my changes! You should be able to download it again and replace your current one without any of the newer changes I made.

ahh i dont know why but this version dont even work properly

like you can see even after effects don't recognize it and throws this message.

im so embarrassed that I have to bother you, that was my mistake that i didnt make a copy of the older version

WunkoloDeveloper115 days ago

Try now! I don't have a handy copy of an older version but I can rebuild it from a previous state of the code base.

ja.n.e.r.sexi114 days ago

it works as the same when you made a first update - crashing when enabled, even on quarter res, at least ae can see it.

anyways thank you so much for help, im waiting for future updates, will be checking this site versy often haha. love you man
