Wow… Remove ALL of the local curves (about 5 so far) and then reset them with the exeption of the two I want to remove? Hmmm… sounds like something is needed here. Thanks for the info… Here's my opinion for what it's worth: I think Cinemorph could be a powerful program if its sequence abilities were greatly enhanced. I bid on, and won a special f/x project for a local video production company. It involved morphing – sequence morphing. No problem. From what I've read of the Cinemorph program and from my intense dislike of ASDG products – Cinemorph looked like it had it all. When I purchased the program and started using it I was very dissappointed. It is FULL of bugs – features mentioned in the docs don't work and the point editing capabilities leave a lot to be desired. I have to finish the job but it will go way over the time I've alotted to spend with it to get acceptable results. I understand Cinemorph is only a hook into a $200 program where other packages on SGIs run in the thousands. I can also understand releasing the initial version of a program in Cinemorph's state. But for a second release I think it's somewhat embarrassing. If you'd like I will compile a list of bugs I've encountered and a list of simple point editing features that would be extremely useful. If you wouldn't like… I won't. I would also like to encourage you (believe it or not). I think the images that Cinemorph produces are outstanding! It's the point editing features that need to be fixed and completed. Once that's done Cinemorph really will content with the other packages. Thanks for your help and time.
