Jonathan, Thanks for the message and your sentiments! On to your questions: FLI/FLC support is coming shortly. We'll post it here once our section is formally opened. More converters are very likely. As you know we have one of the largest arsenals of quality conversion routines around (for imaging formats that are important to video and film professionals). Already HIIP (that's the licensable portion of Elastic Reality which handles all of our imaging needs) already offers more than 20 important file formats. Amiga ANIM support is possible, but my suspicion is that it would have very small appeal. I'll put it on the list and its possible we'll do it. Avoiding overlapping edges is pretty straight forward when you understand the principals behind Elastic Reality's warping technology. The short course is: When two shapes in the same roll overlap, you'll asking the pixels at the point of overlap to go to two places at the same time. This can't happen. Unless of course, you select Jigsaw mode which will happily send the same pixel to any number of places at the same time. Thanks about TransJammer…at nearly 70 topical, sophisticated effects (actually more like 400 different effects when you figure in the "variations") it represents a real easy way to give animations a more professional look.
