Continuum 2023 (v16.0.3) for OFX - 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 and bug fixes may cause some projects to render with individual particle differences, although the overall look and feel should remain the same.
• BCC+ Transitions - Fix to adjust timing so transition reaches full completion on the last frame may affect the perceived timing of transitions by 1 frame in saved projects.

Continuum 2023 (v16.0.3) for OFX - Known Issues and Limitations:

• CO-8221 - Particle Illusion - Broken particles occasionally falling through deflector
• 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-9244 - 3D Objects category of filters including Title Studio are disabled on macOS Resolve due to technical difficulties with that host.
• 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-9789 - Nuke only: Some presets not applying correctly when the y param is set to 200
• 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
