Changes for Version 7.5.1

[Igor]

We plan to release the updated version 7.5.1 with bug-fixes.

Currently we have the following changes:

+ Vastly improved performance for mask objects.

* Fixed problem with visual defects of edge anti-aliasing of Image/Video objects.

* Fixed problem with error message after closing Project options or Customize slide windows on some PCs.

* Fixed bug with wrong duration in the editor of custom transition effects.

Now I'm reading the forum to fix other descovered problems.

I think we will release two or more beta-versions during a couple of weeks.

Thanks

Improving the performance for masks is a good decision. It is my experience that zooms of images in mask containers run much better in v.7.0.7 than in v.7.5.0.

Xaver,

In v7.5.1 masks should work faster than even in the old 7.0.

Igor,

I suspect that most people use masks to control the opacity of large groups of objects because we do not have the option to choose whether a "child" inherits the opacity of its "parent"??

Sometimes i miss being able to setup nested masks, i can use them when i want to "crop" different parts of nested pictures.

And... being able to choose if a child inherits opacity of the parent by a property flag would be fantastic!

If this were true, I had to admit that I did not belong to the majority. I use masks for showing sections of images, for pans and zooms in "windows", etc.

People have asked for inheritance of opacity, but I have doubts that this would be a good concept. The parent/child mechanism describes nothing but a scene graph, and the only things which a child inherits are the parent's position and a coordinate system defined by the parent's height and width.
