Frame Heart 1.2.4

Faster starts.

• A video is studied in parallel, so cleaning starts sooner.
• Cleaning no longer waits for the preview.
• The queue only redraws when something changes, so a click on it isn't lost.

Frame Heart 1.2.3

Fixes.

• A finished file isn't processed again when you press Clean. Files that failed or were stopped still run, and different work, like Upscale, still counts as new.
• Cleaning a video without FFmpeg now asks to install it, then carries on. Pictures only runs what it can without it.
• Closing the window asks first.

Frame Heart 1.2.2

No black mark on video.

• The star learned from each clip no longer picks up bits of the scene, which left a fixed dark mark on every frame.
• Each clip's star is measured colour by colour, so dark and bright scenes both land closer to the surroundings.
• The outline that stayed around the star on bright frames is healed.
• Reversal can no longer dig a black spot darker than the scene around it.

Frame Heart 1.2.1

Clearer words and a correct Show.

• The main action is now Clean, because Remove also meant taking a file off the list.
• Each queue row has one button: Cancel for a running file, Take off list for the rest. Clear list empties the queue.
• Queue statuses now read Cleaned and No mark.
• Opening a saved file selects it in Explorer, with spaces in the path too.

Frame Heart 1.2.0

Plates is now Frame Heart, one of the Heart Apps. The window, the exe, its logo and its folder all use the new name.

Your data comes with it. Put FrameHeart.exe where the old exe was and open it: a Plates folder beside it moves across, with your settings intact.

Plates 1.1.1

Corner labels now come out whole. 1.1.0 could leave a faint ghost of a label, most visibly a dark Grok label on a light picture. The mask now takes in each stroke's soft edges, and the rebuilt area no longer shows a checker pattern.

Plates 1.1.0

Removal is rebuilt. Plates now finds a mark anywhere in the corner, measures its real strength, and learns each video's own star, so dark scenes come out clean. Dark labels on light pictures are found too.

• Watermark detection is automatic, and the window has a new look.
• Frames without a mark are left alone.
• Pictures with no mark are checked about ten times faster.
• Stop then Start carries on where it left off.
• Video keeps its color tags.
