Continuum 2022.5 v15.5.1 for Adobe - Compatibility Notes:

While in general your previously saved projects should render identically in the newer version, bug fixes and quality improvements can sometimes change the look of older projects. While every effort is made to ensure project compatibility, the following notable areas may see some change to the look of previously saved projects.

• Particle Illusion 3D environment enhancements may cause some projects to render with individual particle differences, although the overall look and feel should remain the same.

Continuum 2022.5 v15.5.1 for Adobe - Known Issues and Limitations:

• CO-1298 - Mocha PixelChooser splines can render distorted or in the wrong location in filters that use “Avoid Clipping” or similar mechanisms to expand the source layer dimensions.  As a workaround the layer expansion should be done prior to the effect in a precomp.
• CO-2296 - The Hide Disabled Parameters preference exposes host-side UI refresh issues in AE and Premiere.  We are working with Adobe to resolve these issues.  As a workaround the Hide Disabled Parameters preference can be disabled to revert to “graying out” parameters instead of hiding them.
• CO-2344 - Title Studio - projects with Cinema 4D files that reference host tracks as textures can cause slow or stalled refreshes in Premiere.
• CO-6682 - Optical Stabilizer does not stabilize correctly on trimmed clips in Premiere
• CO-8221 - Particle Illusion - Broken particles occasionally falling through deflector
• CO-8475 - Particle Illusion - PI layer Sync with Ae 3D lost when using Y Rotation keyframes
• CO-8326 - The FX Editor window does not block access to the host UI while it is up which can lead to stability problems if you make adjustments in the host while the FX Editor is still open.
• CO-8858 - Particle Illusion - Ae does not refresh renders if PI is using mask / text via mask picker menu and the mask on an alternate layer is changed. (Change a param or purge cache to force refresh.)
• CO-9436 - Particle Illusion: “Preserve Color” black particles sometimes drawn offset (2D mode)
• CO-9391 - BCC+ Cross Processing and BCC+ Color Paste clamp in HDR
• CO-9370 - BCC+ Color Gradient - ND Brightness feature ignores alpha
• CO-10548 - Particle Illusion: AE Comp Camera rotation in some directions is opposite in AE from PI
• CO-10220 - BCC+ Crash Zoom Dissolve - angle animation is not as smooth as it should be
• CO-10213 - FX Editor preview sometimes shows incorrect colors after changing OCIO colorspace multiple times
• CO-9963 - Title Studio - C4D import not supported on native M1
