New Filmbox update doesn't work backwards with compound node #156

Closed Jacob2603 closed 1 year ago

Jacob2603 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

We have Filmbox stored in a Compound Node, and initially we started grading with the older version and then upgraded to the new version.

If we now do a change to the grading and use CMD + Z to undo one action, the plugin has no selection of the version anymore and the screen turns magenta. If we open the Compound Node before we change anything it works as normal, but if we didn't open the Compound Node after the update it doesn't work.

Hi, we just fixed this bug in 1.8.2 - open the Video Village Plugins app to update!

Hi i just checked it and if I do the same as before and dont open the compound node ( last opened in older version without 1.0 & 2.0 ) it automatically goes to 2.0 instead of 1.0 which would be the correct version which we used in the grading. Is there a way to downgrade to 1.8.1 in the meanwhile? Because now I wouldnt even notice that its incorrect.

We automatically update you to 2.0 if your existing print settings aren't affected by the change from 1.0 to 2.0

I just double checked the logic:

I created a new clip using (old) Filmbox 1.7.9. Set the black point to less than 1.0, which we changed in version 2.0 of the print settings.

Closed the project, upgraded to Filmbox 1.8.2, and opened the project. The clip is still set to "1.0 (Legacy)" because the black point would have been affected by an upgrade to Print Version 2.0.

I just checked again on our side. I have stills from before the update. I compared them without opening the compound node and they look identical. After i make a change and press CMD + Z the picture is different and has less contrast due to the change to 2.0 instead of 1.0. Is there a way to downgrade to 1.8.1 in the meantime?

Just to make it clear: 1.7.9 was the last version of Filmbox before we introduced Print Settings 2.0, so I'm assuming you wish to downgrade to that version?

I know this is a bit of a pain, but I think the best fix is to set your versions back to 1.0 (Legacy) manually instead of rolling back - it's possible that 1.8.1's "undo" bug caused the version settings to mess up.

Jacob2603 commented 1 year ago

No I wish to upgrade to 1.8.1 because in this version it's visible to see if the version changes. Please send us 1.8.1 as a temporary fix.

I just tested it again with a project we last opened and graded 2 months ago ( this wasn't opened with 1.8.1 ) and the same problem occurs

To manually fix this we would've have to do it on 20+ projects and on thousands of shots this is a bigger issue.

gregcotten commented 1 year ago

I am truly confused! 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 shouldn't be different - are you saying that they are? Anyway, please email us at support@videovillage.com and we can get you setup to downgrade.

Jacob2603 commented 1 year ago

Yes the bug is in both versions but we are already using features from the newer versions in some project thats why I only want to downgrade to 1.8.1 because there its visible if the version changes.
