Multiple face puppets... Yeah, I know there's a way to do it via compositing, and chromakeying, and an external video editor, but personally, I'd like to see it built in to the app...

Ok, now that the obvious request is off my chest, a few other suggestions...

Personally, I'd like to see a scrollbar in the timeline. I'd also like to see an easier way to place markers on the timeline. For example, play through the entire timeline without stopping, but as certain elements or sounds are made, I'd like to drop a marker so I could come back to that point in the timeline.

An example would be a music video. I imported the wave file, and because it had music and vocals, it created a series of non-stop lip synch poses. I wasn't too worried about lip synching accuracy, but I didn't want the lips moving while there was only music playing. So I wanted to listen thru it once, dropping markers where I wanted to come back to and strip out those poses.

As it was, I ended up starting/stoppoing, starting/pausing, starting/ stopping over and over again. What a tedious PITA... I tried writing down time signatures, but there's no way to navigate to an exact time stamp, it's all thru dragging the current position marker thinig back and forth...

As I said, this whole process made it tedious, and not the fun it should have been...

So with that said, andother request would be to navigate to a timeline position more accurately through entering a time to jump to.

And my last request would be for every puppeteering pass, make it a different track, don't blend and merge them until I either press a button or when I export. I may do 5 puppeteering passes, but eventually want to eliminate or edit the second pass because it didn't quite gel well enough with the 5th, etc...
