What’s new in Version 1.0.3

After Effects 2022 Ready!
MFR Performance Benefits:
Plug-ins that rely on your CPU will be even faster now that AE can start rendering multiple frames on all your processor cores! The new render pipeline is more intelligent than previous methods since it shares memory and distributes tasks dynamically for better performance. Another big improvement is GPU focused plug-ins like Element 3D and Optical Flares that already take advantage of your Graphics Card will NOT hold back your CPU from processing heavy tasks like Keying & Motion Blur so your projects will render even FASTER!

ORB V1.0.2 UPDATE

We’ve updated the plug-in to V1.0.2 to fix initialization issues with some AMD cards. Be sure to update your drivers and try the new version!

Please note CPU and GPU requirements!
SLI: If you are running dual GPU’s, you may need to disable SLI. This is a driver controlled function that is out of our control.
