About the 2.5

We are receiving many questions regarding the 2.5. Just to resume a bit the current state of the project.

There is no release date at this time. But we target the end of the year.
The feature set is not 100% defined yet. However we can already say that it will feature at least:

- Improved rendering system for the logical record.
- Freeframe support
- New integrated filters (chromakey, several alpha filters, crop, etc.)
- An improved media window.
- A lot of new stuff in the module system (several new controls including a draw view that can send its content to the composition, layer contextual module, ...)
- Several new modules
- Antialiasing of the full composition (on graphic cards which support it).
- Multiprojection through network or on the same machine (requires multi-PCIE slots)

Concerning multiprojection, how will you manage the format.
I mean, if you use 3 output for example, you need to have a preview on modul8 in this format, like a 12/3 screen?
Will we be able to select a personnalized screen output from Modul8?

We are working on a very very flexible approach where you can cut your main composition into sub-rectangles of any size and at any position, each one being redirected to another output. It is perfect for creating huge continuous composition made of several projectors.

I asked a while ago and you mentioned that you'd support transfer modes (add, multiply, etc) in the next release. Is that still in the works?

transfer modes (add, multiply, etc) :
this would be FOR ME one of the most important 'news' as i'm still missing this a lot since it was 'lost' from version 1 to version 2 :!:
so PLEASE give us back the transfer modes :D

that is sad :(

i hope that in 2.5. there will be all features included that we have now in version 2 ?!?
or are there any features that will be disabled from 2 -> 2.5 like from 1 -> 2 ??

sometimes i still use version 1 to use the transfer modes :( :(

in an email in august you told me :
-> We can add it into the module system in a next minor release...

are there still plans to bring it back in the module system ????

please don't let us wait until 3 :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
