I'd like to have the generated frames on either side of the cut look identical to how they looked before the cut. Can I do that? -- Kristian Harms _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Maybe an auxiliary step to "freeze" a generator, take a rendered generator and turn it into something that behaves more like video item could be employed, after which the cut-in-half operation would behave like Brian describes. A somewhat related request that I would like to put forward (related because it also involves getting two generator instances from one, without making a new instance from scratch) is to have some sort of notification when the user uses copy and paste on a generator. While there would be many who wouldn't have any use for this, in our particular case it would be most helpful. The value of our custom parameter contains a persistent ID which we map to objects in an internal data structure (shared by our generator instances), and the current situation will sometimes lead to multiple generators with the same ID. While we have managed to maintain correct operation, it does create a performance hit. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
