Vuo 2.4.2 is a free update that includes several improvements. Highlights include:

Read on for the details.

Built-in Nodes, Types, and Input Editors

• Documented limitation of Make Image from Web Page node for playing videos and animations (Thanks to @jfg for reporting this!)

• Fixed a sporadic crash when reconfiguring displays on Apple Silicon (M1/ARM64) systems
• In the Make Text Field and Make Number Field nodes, renamed the Width port to Field Width, to clarify that it represents the text entry part of the widget, rather than the entire width including padding and border

Exporting Apps/Plugins/Movies

• Clarified the error message when attempting to export a movie but the composition produces an empty image (Thanks to @ecoAV for reporting this!)
• Fixed issue where FFGL plugins exported from Vuo 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 would cause Resolume to crash at launch on some systems

Vuo Editor

• Added a “None” option to the Protocol menus, to make it clearer how to remove the protocol

• Fixed intermittent crash when opening a composition window that will display multiple subcompositions in the node library
