Parallax installs as an After Effects extension: unzip one folder, flip one switch, restart. Everyone in a session needs it, but only the host needs a plan.
Release notes
Fixes media transfers giving up while they were still queued. A peer sends one file at a time, so a small file can sit behind a multi-gigabyte download for several minutes. 0.2.1 treated that as a stalled transfer and abandoned every waiting file after 90 seconds, even while the big download was running normally. - Queued transfers are no longer timed out for waiting their turn. - Peers now send smallest file first, so small assets arrive in seconds instead of behind the largest file in the project. - A queued file shows its place in line ("1 of 8 in cuvvr's queue") rather than looking abandoned. - The status bar no longer sticks on "Receiving media 1/8", and no longer reads 0% next to a file that is visibly part-way done.
