Is it still not advised to use PF_OutFlag2_PPRO_DO_NOT_CLONE_SEQUENCE_DATA_FOR_RENDER?

[Carl Colijn]

I'm trying to get sequence data up and running from within an AE-style plugin under Premiere, and I'd like to disable software render clones getting their own cloned sequence data.  I know the caveats about render speed, but render speed luckily doesn't matter here.

I'm tempted to use PF_OutFlag2_PPRO_DO_NOT_CLONE_SEQUENCE_DATA_FOR_RENDER  for that, but the AE SDK documentation v22.0 from 2023 still states that you'd better not use this flag because it causes "parameter UI problems" (this warning is given since at least v12.0 from 2013).  While I have tried to test what this instability actually is, I cannot find anything amiss.  But that warning still scares the bejesus out of me...

Is that warning still relevant, or is this bug long gone and patched already ages ago?

I'll try to get Definitive Guidance™ from the right developers...what does your experimentation show? 🙂
