Silhouette 7.5.8 + macOS + Linux / Boris FX Silhouette 2026.0.1 + Repack

FEATURES

Can't Bind A Key To Ctrl+Alt+N
User keybinds can now override any stock menu/action bind, such as Ctrl+Alt+N, Ctrl+N, etc.

Negative Scaling - Layers
To easily flip or flop the orientation of a Layer, negative scale can now be used.

NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses Support
NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses are now supported in the 3D Preview window. This is enabled using the Stereo > Enable NVIDIA 3D Vision Preview Support preference.

Planar/mocha Tracker Message
If a layer containing a shape is not selected when attempting to use the Planar or mocha trackers, the following message is displayed: An active layer containing one or more shapes is required for tracking.

Rebuilding Paint That Used Multiple Trackers
Previously, Clone Brush paint strokes only used a single, selected layer when performing an Auto Paint > Rebuild. Now, the layer transform is stored in the paint history. This allows a Rebuild to work as expected when multiple layers were used to transform the Clone Brush paint strokes.

ROI Memory Enhancement
ROI now crops the source image on load resulting in significant memory savings.

Scripting - Store Project Properties
You can now store Project Properties in the project.

BUG FIXES

Composite > Matte Input
The Composite > Matte input only worked with Alpha.

E Shortcut key in Paint > Clone Brush
The E Shortcut key in the Paint > Clone Brush did not work if there was a selected node in the Trees window.

Paint > Clone > Align Mode Update Problem
When there was a Clone offset, clicking on the Align button caused the Viewer to show only the unaligned offset. Moving the cursor back into the Viewer would then update the proper offset.

Paint > Incremental Offset Preference Jumping
With the Paint > Incremental Offset preference set, it could jump when setting the Clone offset.

Roto > Composite Color Preference Did Not Update
The Roto > Composite Color preference did not update when changed.

Scripting: Recti Bugs
Recti.empty was reversed. Recti.left, top, right, and bottom were misreported.

FEATURES

Move Keyframes Beyond Session Start and End Frame
Keyframes can now be moved beyond the Session’s start and end frame. This is useful to create shape motion blur on the first or the last frame of the Session. Note: it is necessary to enable Show Work Range in the Timeline’s context menu to move keyframes outside the Session time range.

Timeline > Show Work Range
The Timeline has a new context menu option called Show Work Range. When enabled, the Timeline displays the start and end frames of the Work Range instead of the Session time range.

CHANGES

Single-click Select Nodes
Instead of double-clicking, single-clicking the center of a node will now simultaneously view and edit a node.

BUG FIXES

Depth Preview Problems
When the source was larger than the Session, a shape's position in the main Viewer did not match the Depth Preview.
When the source was larger than the Session, the Depth Preview displayed the original image size and not the Session size.

FEATURES

Output Multi-Part Node - More Inputs
The Output Multi-Part node can now have multiple additional inputs. Right-click on the Output Multi-Part node and select Add Input. Right-click on an input port to remove it. You can add as many inputs as you want, but the inputs will get smaller.

BUG FIXES

Command-Line Renderer Gets The Range Wrong
The Command-Line renderer would get the range wrong if the -start option was used.

Crash in Trees Window
There was a crash when opening the node list context menu after deleting a node.

Depth > Blur and Wrap Artifact
When adjusting a shape’s Blur or Wrap in the Depth node, there was a box artifact.

Open B-Spline With Feather Crashed in Nuke 11
Open B-Splines with feathering caused a crash in Nuke 11 when imported.

Save Project Via Scripting
You can now save a project via scripting as Save As without replacing the current project. Added a new method, project.copy(path), which just copies the project to the new path, and leaves the existing one alone.

Tablet Support In Trees Window
Added status bar tips for hovering over ports and edges in the Trees view when using a pen and tablet to work around a bug in Qt regarding tablet events not triggering tool tips.

Features
Auto Paint > Paint History Custom In/Out Enhancement
To provide a faster way to set custom in/out points in the Auto Paint > Paint
History, arrows were added to each numeric field which enter the currently
parked frame when clicked.
Copy Alpha to RGBA Shape Preference
A Copy Alpha to RGBA shape preference was added.
MultiFrame Range Improvement
When using MultiFrame and adjusting which keyframes were affected, there
was no feedback to show if you were just tweaking the in/out point or sliding the
whole range. Now, the MultiFrame range is displayed in the status bar while it
is being edited.
Nuke 9+ Shape Exporter Enhancements
There are a number of enhancements to the Nuke exporter for proper rendering
of shapes, feathers and mocha perspective transformations in addition to
increased accuracy. Also, Alpha values can be repeated in the RGB channels
as an export option.
Notes:
1 If there are no mocha perspective transformations, the handles of feathers and
open shapes will render correctly in Nuke.
2 If there are mocha perspective transformations:
• The output is correct but feather and open shape handles will appear to be very
long. This is a Nuke user interface bug.
• In Nuke, if a feather point is added using the E key, the feather point will be far
away and have to be dragged back to the desired location. This is another Nuke
user interface bug.
Read formats.xml From Outside Of Resources
A SFX_FORMATS_PATH environment variable was added which can be the
complete path to an xml file containing the desired formats.
Scripting
Create And Select A New Project Via Scripting
Added a way to create a new project with a complete bundle name and then
have the UI select it.
syntax:
project = Project(bundle_path)
activate(project)
project.save()
object_renamed hook
For when objects get renamed, added object_renamed hook and the callback
gets the object.
Shape Import Using Python
Shapes can now be imported using Python.
Timeline Frame Range
The Timeline now always shows the full session range with the work range
displayed using a gray bar at the top of the Timeline. The work range can
quickly be adjusted by:
• Ctrl-drag the ends of the work range bar to change the start and end.
• Ctrl-drag the work range bar to slide it forward and back while maintaining the
duration.
• To center the timeline on the current frame, click the top left corner of the Timeline
above the object labels.
Timeline Markers
The Timeline context menu now has a Marker option which allows for the
creation, editing or deletion of markers. Timeline Markers are a handy way of
placing notes at specific points in time. Markers are displayed as light blue
squares at the top of the Timeline.
When you right-click in the Timeline and select Marker > Create/Edit, a dialog
box opens where you can enter, change, or clear text. When you enter text and
click OK, a marker is displayed.
Visual Warning for Paint > Clone > Grade/Filter Controls
The Paint > Clone > Grade and Filter controls are hidden in tabs so we have
added a visual indicator in the tab if the controls have been modified.
Changes
Clone Reset Behavior
Previously, Clone Reset only reset the Transform controls. Now, all clone
parameters, including Grade and Filter parameters are reset.
Composite Resolution
Previously, the DOD (Domain of Definition) was determined by the background
clip of a composite. Now, the union of the foreground and background
determines the DOD.
Point Tracker > Smooth Behavior
In the Point Tracker, the Smooth option will no longer be available if there are
no visible selected trackers. Smoothing will only smooth visible trackers.
Point Trackers Within Layers
Silhouette now allows Point Trackers to be added and tracked within layers.
Bug Fixes
Alpha Overlay Was Affected By OCIO Viewer Controls
Alpha and color overlay are no longer affected by the viewer OCIO controls.
Cache Display Not Working - Windows
The Cache Display would not work on Windows in certain situations.
Import Footage With No Project Crash
When there was no project, it was possible to double-click in the Sources
window to import footage which caused a crash.
Missing Frames - Macintosh
In some cases, frames would display as black after opening a project.
What’s New in 6.1
Nuke Tracker Importer Problem
mocha tracks pasted into the Nuke tracker did not import into Silhouette.
Panning and Beeping
Holding the Space key and panning could cause beeps to occur during autorepeat.
Session > New Session Crash
When there was no project, it was possible to select Session > New Session
which caused a crash.
Tablet Problems - Macintosh
Some Mac users were experiencing strange tablet behavior in the Roto node.
Text Box Focus Behavior
If the cursor was in a text field and the cursor was moved into any major view,
it would steal the focus. You know have to press the Tab key to leave the focus
of a text field.
Timeline Keyframe Paste Problem
Pasting keyframes from two shapes did not paste the proper keyframes into the
first shape.
Timeline Not Displaying Tracks At Startup
In some instances, the Timeline did not display tracks at startup.
zMatte Crops Output When Deartifact Was Enabled
zMatte’s Composite output was cropped to the foreground when Deartifact was
enabled.
