Phosphor 0.2.95

What's new in 0.2.95

• ProRes plays far more lightly: ProRes 422 now goes straight from the Mac's video decoder to the graphics card (about half the CPU), and ProRes 4444 with transparency is decoded by the Mac's hardware too: four 1080p layers went from nearly five CPU cores to under half of one, with truer colours.
• Record and convert to Hap Q and Hap Q Alpha: much better colour than Hap (smooth gradients, skin, logos), still decoded by the graphics card.
• More MadMapper Surface FX work: Extend, Vertex Noise and the FX template now load (their settings live in the vertex part, which also moves the picture).
• Fixed: Hap Q Alpha clips had dark fringes on their soft edges.
