    Yes, 4.0 is in the works. I originally talked about a 3.5 release, but it will be called 4.0 instead. You won’t see anything about it for several months though.

    I’m not sure what you mean by “better support for output”. Seamless looping is a much-requested feature though, and we’ll be investigating.

    To output with an alpha channel, don’t you still have to export individual frames rather than a QT or AVI with alpha support?

    It’s been a couple months since I needed to use it, so I don’t remember.

    Curious as to whether there are still plans to have a PI plugin for after effects. We have been patient.

    A PI-plug-in for Sony Vegas would also be highly appreciated…

    No the latest version supports alpha with avi, do not know about QT.

    Take care,

    When we release 3.0.4 (Win) in the next week or so, you’ll also have the ability to add to the list of codecs that support alpha, so if you don’t see the codec that you use listed there, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to use it soon.

    I’d like to offer a suggestion, if I may…

    The ability to detach the stage as a seperate window. I run dual monitor, so moving the stage to my second monitor would help me work on HD projects.
