John, Another one: Let the foreground key feature be "enveloped" so that the key acn be faded in. It would be neat if the background behind a foreground key could be an image sequence. Better yet, let a forground key animation in which there is no background provide a "hole" that can act as an animated art card wipe. The implementation of the "clear Black" button described in the docs on surfaces would b nicee too. Also, a scene saver utility would be nice. SOmething to go through a scend file, list all the components (objects, surfaces, images etc) and allow you to move/copy each item to a different location from which they can be reloaded into the proper directories so that the scen could be edited later. If theree was a compression/decompression option it would be nce too. Oh, there is a lightwave bug to report. If you terminate a frame rendering that you are recording to disk with the <ESC> key, the file is left flagged "in use". Lightwave will nott re-record over it and you cannot delete the file without exitting the Toaster and rebootin ght machine (or editing the file descritor block or FAT or whatever its called in the Amiga, to indicate "not busy"). wmc
