1.5 (Current version) - Sep 11, 2025
Colorflow – New Features
========================
ColorFlow – V1.5 Changelog
Quick Summary
* New: Extract colors from a paused video frame (+ button when video is stopped)
* Improved: Image/video extraction finds off-center colors more reliably
* Behavior: "Force Extraction" in Settings enables deep sampling; default is fast & conservative
What’s New (User-Facing)
* Paused Video Frame Sampling: Pause video → click + → adds dominant colors to palette
* Smarter Image Sampling: With Force Extraction, uses multiple/random points until unique colors are found
* Configurable Depth: Default \~25 samples. Change via config.videoSampleCount. Presets: 9 / 25 / 49
* Duplicate-Aware Retries: If many samples are identical, retries up to safe caps
How to Use
1. Pause video at the frame you want
2. Select the layer (video/image)
3. Click the + button
4. For deeper search: Settings → enable Force Extraction
Technical / Notes
* Uses hidden nulls with temporary color controls
* Safety caps:
* Up to 20 samples per extraction (dynamic mode)
* Up to 200 random attempts for unique colors
* Deduplication avoids near-identical colors
Troubleshooting
* Few/no colors?
* Ensure comp is paused at correct frame
* Try Force Extraction
* Increase sample count (videoSampleCount)
* Lag?
* Disable Force Extraction to lower sample count

1.4.3 - Sep 8, 2025
Colorflow – New Features
========================
Force Extraction settings implemented. Check your settings and decide when you want to extract colors from everywhere
1. Extract Colors from Expressions
----------------------------------
- Extractor now finds color literals inside expressions:
- #RGB / #RRGGBB
- rgb(255,128,0)
- Arrays like [0.5,0.1,0.2] or [255,128,0]
- Colors are normalized and added to the active palette
- Duplicates are avoided
2. Extract Colors from Effects
------------------------------
- When Force Extraction is enabled, the script scans a layer’s Effect Parade
- Pulls color values from:
- Color Control
- Fill
- Other similar color properties
- Supports nested effect structures:
- Example: color stops inside "4-Color Gradient" are extracted
