Yeah that was worth the read just for the explanation of the envelope nodules automatically being created in a selected area when you drag the envelope up or down.

I also like the ability to have still images added to the timeline automatically crop to match aspect ratio, something I’ve always used a script to do. My only improvement to that idea would be is if you could match aspect ration WITHOUT cropping. What I mean by that is if I have a vertical picture, have the border match the aspect ratio of the timeline without actually zooming it in to fill the screen. A lot of people might not have much use for that, but I sure would.

I’m still on Excalibur 5.6 though, so I hope that works okay in 9 also.

i am particularly interested in the part about improved stability in 64bit – do you think that applies to the constant crashing i’m having, especially while using the trimmer?
