Here's beta 5 now, with tons of improvements. I know I'm stretching the idea of a "beta" version, but that's gonna change. Further versions leading up to v1.0 will only be bug fixes. The goal now is to get a fully stable v1.0 out the door. So please send me any problems you find. Thanks to everyone who's mailed me so far, it's very encouraging even to get complaints. :)

Wonderful new interface. thank you for the hard work.
Just a quick connect on the white balance... When white balance is selected, a cross-hair cursor appears, but ONLY when the mouse is over the plug-in screen. As soon as it moves over the video preview window, the cursor changes to an arrow. It would be better to have it remain as a cross-hair until the color selection has been made.
Hope that makes sense!
Regardless, this is the plug-in I use most. So thank you again for the great work.
Ah yes, I'll get to fixing that. Hopefully I can steal the mouse cursor from Vegas when the eyedropper is active. I'll also add so you can select a rectangular area of pixels and get an average. Video can be noisy as we all know.
As usual I'm glad people like the software, thanks for your encouraging words. :)
Carl,
When I opened a project with beta 4 in use (after uninstalling 4 and installing beta 5), the adjust checkbox was on by default, and had to be turned off on all the affected clips.
Also, I got a .NET Framework error:
Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application...
InvalidArgument=Value of '184' is not valid for 'SelectedIndex' Paramenter name: SelectedIndex."
I assume this has to do with colorlab.
Regards,
Mary Waitrovich
