just suggestions NO complaints. :)

The jaw movement goes to far, even with small values
Sometimes a jitter occurs, when recording in puppeteering mode (when recording over a previous animation to add blinking).
Ability to exclude blinking from global morph strength to prevent half closed eyes, when lowering the global expression amount
A grid in the timeline to set frames accurate
When exporting i had an error, that my HD was full. Of course i had 100 GB free space.
Puppeteering mode: ability to enter negative values.
The sliders which can have a negative value (jaw left rigt, f.e.), should have a dot in the middle, that you can see wherer "zero" is. Or a "reset button.

Hello,

the survey when ending the program doesn´t work, so i write my suggestions into the forum.

Startup: It should be possible to start the program without model/script.
Model: A great step forward is, that the control points are now connect with bezier lines. The ability to change the anchor points (angle between the lines) would be nice too.
A hair outline, which affects head movement but not facial distortion
Rotating the outlines in (pseudo)3d space (x/y axis) for better fitting (for example half profile).
Ability to create custom profiles
Custom eyes/teeth are hard to handle, there should be a possibility to distort them (perspective) and to resize x/y axis separately (eyes)
It would be nice to take the original eyes/teeth direct from the photo.
Puppeteering Mode: A play button, which can be switched on/off and plays the script while testing puppeteering.
More morph targets in p-mode, like in "creating key" mode.
Set key: a link button on symmetrical targets (links right with left brow, for example)
Timeline: The facial animation track could be expandle with sub tracks for all morph targets, to set the keypoint individually, with different types of interpolation (linear,cubic,bezier,constant).

Just some ideas.

I great programm, i already ordered the update.

more to come...
