Dear Digieffects Customer:

I want to thank you for all your support since I acquired the business in May. Since that time we've worked hard to update our code and bring Digieffects into the new millennium. Needless to say, it's been messy but we're making good progress.

As many of you know, we're working on our Universal Binary and Adobe CS3 compatibility updates for Mac Intel. This is scheduled to be released within 30 days and will, as promised, be free of charge to all existing customers. This update won't cover the Buena products (acquired from Toolfarm in June) which will come later this Fall.

One of the other engineering initiatives we embarked upon - and accomplished - was removing an archaic serialization scheme where our software required a CD-ROM to be serialized. Most Digieffects software is now available via ESD (electronic software download) which means it can be downloaded as a free trial and purchased immediately if desired. This is great for customers because it eliminates all the costs associated with a supply chain. Accordingly, a byproduct of these savings is drastically reduced prices (for example, Delirium is now $399 compared to $699 before).

In our march towards modernity we broke some things along the way. Here's a list of what works, what doesn't and when we hope to have it fixed.

Cinelook 2.5:

1. Mac: Already a Universal Binary application so it functions on Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS3 as well as Apple Final Cut Pro 6 and Autodesk Combustion 4. On the Mac we had to eliminate the custom UI for this version.
2. Windows: Functional in all modern host applications.

Delirium, Aurorix, Berserk and Fantazm:

1. Mac: Universal Binary and Adobe CS3 update coming out within 30 days. If your host application is a Universal Binary application you can still run these plug-ins in Rosetta mode. The exception here is Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 which can't run in Rosetta mode. This means Delirium, Aurorix, Berserk and Fantazm won't run on Premiere Pro CS3 Mac until our Universal Binary update is available.
2. Windows: Full compatibility with Adobe After Effects CS3 and Autodesk Combustion 4. It appears that our recent development efforts have broken all our compatibility with Premiere Pro on Windows (all versions). We're working to fix this immediately.

Buena Effects Pack (includes Au Naturel and Effect Essentials) and Buena Depth Cue:

1. Mac: Universal Binary update schedule for this Fall (no exact date yet). Same Rosetta workaround as mentioned above.
2. Windows: Functional in all modern host applications with the exception of Depth Cue which doesn't work with Adobe Premiere Pro. We are working to fix this.

We plan to have major revisions, including speed optimizations, out later this year. If you have any questions or anything to add, please give me a shout!
