What's new in this version:

Feature Enhancements in Continuum 2023.5 v16.5.2 for Adobe:
- BCC Particle Illusion - New “Point At Object” camera mode. (Note that v16.5.2 PI projects cannot be opened in v16.5.0 due to inclusion of this new feature.)
- BCC Particle Illusion - Numerous UI tweaks and usability enhancements
- BCC+ Orbs - New Preserve Source Alpha and Blend Mode options
- BCC+ Rays Dissolve - New Apply Rays To menu for controlling whether the rays are applied pre/post dissolve
- BCC+ FX Editor - Faster UI load time

Other Fixes and Polish in Continuum 2023.5 v16.5.2 for Adobe:
- AE - BCC+ Lens Flare - FX Editor was using the source image as the occlusion layer even though no occlusion layer was selected in the host
- AE - BCC+ - Secondary input layers with different sizes than the primary clip are now centered
- AE - BCC+ Channel Blur / Directional Blur could crash for extreme blur amounts and Allow Resizing enabled
- AE - Maximum supported image size increased to 16k
- AE - Optical Stabilizer crash/hang when rendering/previewing after analyzation
- Adobe - Crash when exporting from Media Encoder
- Adobe - Improve BCC+ GPU fallback logic so a single GPU failure doesn’t disable the GPU for the entire session
- Adobe - BCC+ Light - Secondary input layer in BCC+ Light used incorrect luminance extraction in Adobe hosts
- Premiere - BCC+ Flutter Cut - Fix crash in certain presets in Premiere with some project/media combinations
- Premiere - Crash with certain combinations of Premiere Transform effect and BCC filters
- BCC+ - Fix alpha premultiplication issues with dark/colored fringes or sometimes artifacts around areas of soft alpha channels in a variety of BCC+ filters.

- BCC+ Glow Edges - Unexpected white glow around the video in 16.5 (only in GPU)
- BCC Lightning - Top half of the image not rendering on 4k or higher clips
- Mocha - Update to latest version of Mocha to pick up fixes including bezier spline interactors
- Title Studio - Rendered blank or with incorrect opacity on recent AMD graphics drivers
- BCC+ Super LED - Smooth animation of LED and Gap sizes
- BCC+ Super LED - Improved downsampling/thumbnail accuracy.
- BCC+ Video Glitch - Move Enable checkboxes inside groups for cleaner layout
- BCC+ Light Leaks (and BCC+ Light Leaks Dissolve) - CPU version was too faint and did not match GPU
- Beat Reactor in BCC+ filters - Slow / unresponsive with some clips
- BCC+ Linear Wipe - Fix incorrect geometry with non-square pixel aspect ratios
- BCC+ Multi-Star Dissolve - Matte->Position slider had no effect on result
- BCC+ Texture Wipe - Incoming clip might be incorrectly shown on first frame for some clips
- BCC+ Directional Blur - Fix edge handling when using Gaussian blur option
- BCC+ Orbs and BCC+ Atmospheric Glow - The Orbs group was not generating the same result on Mac and Win. The look and feel will be the same but the randomization on Windows now matches Mac
- BCC+ FX Editor - Hide UI elements such as Color Wheels in filters which don’t support those elements
- BCC+ FX Editor - Sporadic spontaneous closing of the UI
- BCC+ FX Editor - Closes or renders black on 5k+ clips

- BCC+ Super LED - Vertical artifacts in large shape centers and other quality improvements
- FX Editor - Maximum supported image size in FX Editor increased to 8k
- BCC+ Wipes - Several wipes crash in CPU mode for some settings
- Title Studio - Setting font to bold on Win does not match the result on Mac.
- Title Studio - Fix crashes with some presets when applied to 4k or 8k clips.
- Particle Illusion - AE - When MB is set to “Use Host (AE)”, the number of MB frames shown in PI particle count doesn’t use AE value
- Particle Illusion - Improved layout of Node view
- Particle Illusion - Shape Import Dialog - Emitter library information fixes
- Particle Illusion - Shape Import Dialog - Change menu into radio buttons for improved clarity
- Particle Illusion - Shape Import Dialog - UI layout improvements
- Particle Illusion - Shape Import Dialog - Add frame count after filename if sequence detected
- Particle Illusion - Shape Editor - Double-clicking sprite image in shape editor will now apply and close.
- Particle Illusion - Shape Editor - ESC key is shortcut for Cancel, and Enter/Return is shortcut for Save.
- Particle Illusion - Shape editor doesn’t show New Shape until user actually clicks on a sprite
- Particle Illusion - Height of graph view changes regardless if AZ is enabled or not when moving the keyframe downward
- Particle Illusion - Hex Mosaic emitters are slower than expected and use excess memory in Preview pane
- Particle Illusion - Favorite (star) button can remain on when a non-favorite emitter is selected in Library View (not list or grid).
- Particle Illusion - Improve Library View, List View, and Grid View tooltips.
- Particle Illusion - In views other than Render, non-intense particles draw a black area around the particles
- Particle Illusion - Fix stability issues in certain projects
- Particle Illusion - Laser Waves (mb) in Emitters_2023.5 draws initial particles wrong when Motion Blur is turned on
- Particle Illusion - Support JPG sprite loading on Mac
- Particle Illusion - Saving Scene to library now uses “New Scene” as default scene name, and “Scene” as default scene tags.
- Particle Illusion - Saving Scene to library will now ensure duplicate name isn’t used (appends -1, -2, etc.)
- Particle Illusion - Using node view “Reset”, the emitter nodes became reversed
- Particle Illusion - CTI in mini timeline and graph view draws on top of node note tooltips
- Particle Illusion - Improved handling when when 3D Model file is missing - will get a popup dialog for each instance, will show the name in red if missing in button and tooltip.
