Action Required for Adobe Users

• We had to make a change to our Adobe plugins that unfortunately is not backwards compatible. We do not believe this will ever need to happen again - thanks for bearing with us as we continue to learn about the Adobe plugin ecosystem!
• Replace Scatter in any existing Premiere or AE projects with this new version. Scatter 2.5.3 for Adobe will continue to be available for users that need access to it. Just open the Video Village Plugins app, select “Adobe” and click Settings -> Install Other Version -> 2.5.3
