Changelog

Spidx Uploader 2.8.0

October 2026

In short: send a frame with one keyboard shortcut, switch between clients with presets, see every upload in a history, and a new template browser in the Premiere Pro panel. Plus many fixes that make installing and updating the panels smoother.

New Send a frame with one shortcut

Press Ctrl + Alt + U while After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop or VEGAS Pro is in front and the current frame is uploaded, just like clicking Upload in the panel. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + U does the Camera Raw route (Photoshop + Upload, Pro).

• Change or turn it off in Dashboard → Settings → Global shortcut. Free for everyone.
• The Spidx panel has to be open in that program (Window → Extensions). If it is not, you get a small message.

New Client presets

Save your current setup — destination, Google Drive folder, image compression and Camera Raw action — as a named preset (for example “Client A”) and switch with one click.

• Manage presets in Dashboard → Settings → Client presets.
• Switch right from the After Effects and Premiere Pro panels (new Preset list).
• Shows Active (modified) if you changed a setting after applying a preset. Free for everyone.

New Upload history

A new History tab in the Dashboard lists your latest uploads (up to 500) with their links. Copy a link again, search by file name or client, remove entries or clear the list. Stored only on your computer.

New Premiere Pro: MOGRT templates (SPT add-on)

The new MOGRT tab turns your motion graphics templates into a browser: thumbnails, categories (Eliminations, Damage…), search and animated previews when you hover a template.

• Click a template and it is placed at the playhead on a free video track above V1. It never touches your footage.
• Type a nick (or click a player in the Leaderboard tab) and it is written into the graphic automatically (Pro).
• Nothing to install in Premiere first.
• Available with the SPT add-on (included for Dev and Tester roles).

New VEGAS Pro plugin is part of the app

Install it from the setup page or Dashboard → Account → Plugins; it builds the plugin for your VEGAS version automatically. Uploading from VEGAS Pro needs a Pro plan. The VEGAS panel has a new look that matches the other panels, scales with the window and has smooth animations.

New Image compression settings

In Dashboard → Settings you can switch compression on or off and choose the target file size. Presets can use a different size per client.

New Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

Links are in the Dashboard (Support & legal and the footer on every tab). New installs accept them once in the setup wizard; existing users see a short banner. You are asked again only if the texts change.

New Self-test and diagnostics

Dashboard → Account → Diagnostics checks everything the uploader needs (Node, helper, folders, Google sign-in, license, internet, plugins) and says in plain words what is wrong. Create diagnostics file packs logs and versions for support; emails, tokens and your user name are removed. Also available from the tray menu.

New Plugin updates inside the app

The Dashboard (and the tray) tell you when a newer After Effects, Premiere Pro, VEGAS or Photoshop plugin is available and can download it. Then click Update next to the plugin.

New Combined license roles

A license can carry several roles at once (for example Pro + SPT), shown in the Dashboard and the panels.

Improved

• Photoshop panel installer now runs Adobe’s installer as administrator and shows the real result. The minimum Photoshop version the panel asks for was lowered as well.
• Premiere Pro panel remembers the incoming folder, batch size and other settings even after you update the panel, and finds the incoming folder by itself after a fresh install.
• Locked features stay locked until the uploader knows your plan (2–3 files per upload, Photoshop + Upload, Properties).
• Safer license checks. Edited or expired local license data is ignored. A stronger signature check can be switched on later without updating the app.
• The Dashboard footer shows the version, and the Support card links to the Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Fixed

• The tray app sometimes refused to start (“already running”) after a restart or crash, or left an invisible process behind.
• A wrong menu item could run when an update notice appeared in the tray menu.
• If the tray app failed to start without a window, nothing was shown. Now you get a message.
• Photoshop panel: the Dashboard could say “installed” when Adobe’s installer had failed, or “not installed” right after a successful install. The After Effects panel (same name) was sometimes mistaken for it.
• Premiere Pro panel: 2–3 files per upload and other Pro features could be used before the plan was known.
• Premiere templates were copied to a folder Premiere does not read. They are inserted directly now.
• VEGAS Pro panel: crash when changing the Leaderboard region, a drop-down that stayed open, overlapping text on disabled buttons.
• Windows installer: could end an unrelated program with a reused process number (now only the uploader’s own), did not include the Premiere templates, and failed to compile on newer Inno Setup.
• Compiler messages for the VEGAS plugin and the shortcut program were unreadable on Polish Windows.

Versions in this release

How to update

1. Close After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and VEGAS Pro. Quit the Spidx tray app.
2. Install the new version (or replace the files) and start Spidx Uploader.
3. Open Dashboard → Account → Plugins and click Update next to each plugin (the programs must be closed). Photoshop shows a Windows administrator prompt; restart Photoshop afterwards.
4. In the Dashboard, read and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy banner.

Good to know

• The first start builds the small shortcut program (a few seconds). It uses a compiler that ships with Windows.
• The shortcut works in programs that have the new Spidx panel — update all plugins.
• Switching presets from the panel works in After Effects and Premiere Pro; in Photoshop and VEGAS Pro use the Dashboard.
• Older VEGAS plugin versions are not covered by the Pro requirement — update the plugin.
