OH YEAH! I'll leave you alone....

David, are you going to support compressing and using CFed alpha channels realtime in Prospect with this new release?

Sure would be nice for whacking down all those nasty big uncompressed AVI's we have to deal with and saving some storage space...and render playback time...

However they are at least 6:1 smaller than uncompressed RGBA AVIs, and will have quality if you source support greater than 8-bit RGBA. I think alpha support will be pretty cool.
