There’s not a lot of difference for third-party plug-in developers. They need to make changes when we change our API, et cetera, but that is not different going forward than it has been in the past. As far as the pacing of releases: Expect to see things when they’re ready, not on a rigid yearly schedule. But, again, I need to stress that there are no automatically applied updates, and you will still be able to choose which version to download and install at any given time, so you shouldn’t have any new concerns about things like hardware and compatibility. From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of David Torno The new CC release cycle should be interesting for third party plugins. I haven't done much research yet into this area or seen any talk about it yet. How, if at all, does it effect third party development? Curious if the new CC release cycle would be roughly on par with the old CS yearly'ish release cycle. I do share some minor concerns about the hardware compatibility over time, but only if the CC updates/releases were at such a faster rate than the previous CS cycle. There are many companies/freelancers that carry old versions many generations back. I actually use a Mac laptop running OS X 10.7.2 and have CS3-CS6 running for my script development testing. My home tower also still has AE7 as well. |
