1) transform section : rotation :
only the Z fader has the possibility to click the surrounding ring of the fader for 0,90,180,270 degrees.
it would be great to have that feature for the X and Y fader too. at the moment X and Y only have 0 and 180 degrees.

2) speed : frame blending option would be nice.
this means if you select a very slow speed for a movie the frames are not switched but FADED.
i hope you can understand what i mean ? :roll:
in final cut pro you can choose that if you change the speed of a clip...

3) option : movie in/out selection :
possibility to move the selected range of a clip.

4) and PLEASE give us back the exclusion feature from V.1 !! :cry:

Yes. You can sort of FAKE this.
Create a layer.
Put luma keying in it.
Turn on Trace
Play with speed and trace ammounts

voilá! la resulte :P

Nice, but as I said, I woudl add a relative positioning of the SECOND marker to get more precise movie cueloops without the need of hirez MIDI

thanks akira for your 'trace fake' idea.
but imagine the following :
with quicktime it is very easy and FAST to create a movie from a sequence of PICTURES. let's say with 25 DIFFERENT pictures per second.
now you have a very small movie with a lot of 'content'.

in modul8 you can import this movie, scale it a little bit down and put it on the left site of your output screen and play it with a SLOW speed.

now you can insert another layer in modul8 with the same movie with the original 'FAST' speed on the right site of the screen.

sorry for that complicated explanation but i guess you understand what i mean

with a REAL frame blending option dor EACH layer you can have a better 'slowmotion' effekt only for the SLOW layer without 'smearing' the fast layer.

I get what you mean, fair enough.

Maybe changing the "Blur" effect to include "Motion blur"?
