I am also looking for sponsors and partners. Please contact me if you are interested.

2.3

Release Notes

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

Voukoder has been split up into two components starting with this release:

• The Voukoder Core component (this part)
• An application specific Connector module (i.e. for Premiere/MediaEncoder, After Effects or VEGAS)

Instructions

1. Uninstall all previously installed Voukoder related components from the control panel (esp. when upgrading)
2. Install Voukoder 2.3
3. Install an appropiate connector module

We are working on it to make this easier in the next versions. The separation was necessary for legal reasons but also offers new future possibilities.
