Alpha handling in the timeline is a shortcoming in the Avid universe. However, I sure the folks at Avid are aware of this. The last few years was really spent getting to 64 bit and updating the underpinnings of the UI. That should make things more flexible going forward as I believe they eliminated a lot of long running architectural handicaps.

Things like this, or not being able to apply say an animatte, and then a resize to move the whole enchilada (and not take the background with it) just need to be updated. However for just straight cutting I see Avid is just a fast as it's always been. It feels like old time to be back in the interface, and in a good way.

Back in the Meredian/Adrinaline days I never found a way round this but thought maybe something might have changed while I was away. Basically I want to apply and effect and only have it effect the layer it is on, not the layers below. Here's an example…

I am using Spectra Matte to key it out (Boy did I ever miss Spectra Matte) But now that I have the key pulled I want to add a color correction to the keyed shot on V2. When I do the the correction applies through the stack to V1 as well. Is there any way to isolate that correction to just V2 and not have it pass to the background on V1?
