Paypal

Although you can use this plugin for i would appreciate getting donations. Working on the plugin consumes alot of time and i am constantly working on improvements and new features.

Non-monetary support

I really need good hardware with high performance on compiling and rendering videos. This would speed up development alot. I currently compile, develop and test on a Intel NUC Core i3. If you want to support me with this please get in direct contact with me (daniel dot stankewitz at gmail dot com).
