    Crossfade layers

    Add crossfade layers, may be options that switch on it with halting of currently maximum layers to provide in one doubled/crossfaded layer using "unlimited" number of contents that can be switched in one layer with fade effect.

    2nd: random mask with multiple point like a 40; circle etc
    3rd: timeline cuelist with opportunity to edit/add effect more than 1 preset that bound to timeline
    3a: link between presets with same effect like on inside preset
    4th: add normal codec with alfa channel (and normal treatment for picture/video with odd resolution)
    5th:add unlimited resolution, I receive many photo with 20mp and bigger
    6th: fix transparent background for mix: with flat constant aspect ratio

  3. hi there

    point 4 - normal codec with alpha channel - Use ProRes 4444

    Odd resolutions - use a resolution that has a pixel count which is a multiple of 16 pixels i.e. 704 x 496. 703 x 496 would not work well as 703 is not divisible by 16. This is a Quicktime limitation, NOT Catalyst.

    So I ask a normal codec, many win vj/video wall software has own mpeg4 codec for grade this problem. About 16 multiple, I receive about 100-150 photo video content before tv program, I cannot physical check all before start recording tv show.(also problem with odd resolution appear in catalyst software in desktop mode in QuickTime player video work properly with the same codec) About proress: my Mac on work cannot operate with 16 full hd proress codec.

  5. I don't understand why you need a special codec for Catalyst when the Prores family are perfectly adequate. You will be stuck with the 16 pixel multiple - nothing that can be done - its the way the codec decodes the data - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroblock.

    What kind of computer are you trying to run 16 HD movies on? The new Mac Pro or Silver tower? There are very few machines that can run 16 HD movies at one time - certainly none of the silver towers could manage many more that 4!

    As my main job using mac pro 2007 year, and I work with 10-16 full HD layers in icod and 3-4 input.

  7. If you are getting that kind of performance on an old Mac Pro - well done!
