Flow Studio v2.0

What's New in Flow Studio v2.0

A complete visual refresh plus a batch of new features — Flow Studio now looks and feels like a native, modern panel, and it's safer and smarter to use.

🆕 New Features

• Undo — a new Undo button (and Ctrl+Z) restores your keyframes to how they were before the last Flow Studio action. Apply, paste, reverse, mirror, and reset are all undoable.
• Safer applying — clicking a preset now selects it; press Apply Preset to send it to Resolve. No more accidental applies from a stray click. Prefer the old one-click speed? Turn on the Auto-apply toggle.
• Live easing previews — hover any preset card and a dot runs across it using that exact curve, so you can feel the easing before applying it.
• Copy & paste cubic-bezier() values — the Curve Editor now shows the current curve as a CSS cubic-bezier(...) string. Copy it to share, or paste one from the web / After Effects and press Enter to load it.
• Test button in Settings — one click checks your Python installation, the Resolve scripting module, and the connection to Resolve, and tells you exactly what's wrong if something isn't set up.
• Works fully offline — the Inter font is now bundled with the plugin instead of loading from the web.

✨ New Design

• Apple-style dark UI — rebuilt from the ground up with layered dark surfaces, rounded cards, hairline borders, and a frosted-glass header and toolbar.
• New orange accent color — primary actions, curves, and highlights now use a warm orange (#FF9F0A) throughout the app.
• Inter font — the entire interface switched from serif to Inter for a cleaner, more legible look at panel sizes.
• New Flow Studio logo — now displayed in the header.

🎛 UI Improvements

• Segmented control tabs — Presets / Curve Editor / Settings now switch via an iOS-style segmented control.
• Smarter preset cards — curve icons tint orange on hover and stay highlighted when selected, so your active preset is obvious at a glance.
• Redesigned Curve Editor — the bezier curve and drag handles are now orange with white rims, and the linear reference is a subtle dashed guide.
• Pill-style buttons — Sync Node and Quick Animation "+ Animate" buttons use compact orange pills.
• Animated feedback — cards lift on hover, buttons respond to presses, and inputs show an orange focus ring.

🚦 Clearer Status & Feedback

• Color-coded connection dot — green when connected to the Edit/Fusion page, orange when Resolve is on another page, gray when disconnected.
• Better toasts — frosted, translucent notifications with an orange accent bar; errors are marked in red instead of white.
• No white flash on launch — the panel window background now matches the dark theme.

🛠 Reliability Fixes

• Python is now launched directly instead of through a shell, so Python paths containing spaces or special characters always work.
• Clear, specific error messages when Python can't be found, and a timeout so a stuck script can never hang the panel.
• Status polling pauses while the panel is hidden, saving CPU.
• Fixed: Quick Animations with a custom preset selected previously fell back to a linear curve — they now use the custom curve.
• Fixed: Ctrl+R no longer accidentally triggers the Reset shortcut.
• Clip and preset names containing special characters now display safely.

📦 Packaging

• WorkflowIntegration.node is now bundled in the release, so the plugin works out of the box.
• The Inter font is bundled locally, so no internet connection is ever needed.
• Plugin version aligned to 2.0.0 across the manifest and package files.

Your data is safe — existing custom presets and settings are fully compatible, and all keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, R) keep working.
