grey what is outside the ouput

Hello

Here is just a little request of no big importance, but I think it would be quite useful.

For now, we can either fully see the parts that are outside the output :

or checking "Show Output Only" to make them fully disappear :

I think it would be cool, and better in my own opinion, to also be able to get this :

You still see your whole objects, but what is outside the output is greyed.

Of course I know we can do this with a layer, I do it, but it would be better to have it in the software instead of creating such a layer each time.

Thanks to read my request. ;)

Hi, I do that too - with 'show transparency' checked in the display quality dialogue.

Remember to check the 'immune to camera movements' box also.

In version 6 you could always put this Framing layer you created into the library (just save it as a .anme file with only that layer in it and stick it in the Library Folder, you can also organize this to how you like), so then you only have to double click on it and Boom! - its in your scene.

Hey, that's quite nice. I never thought of doing that. You could also have that as your startup file. Your name is 'startup.anme' I think and replace the old startup file somewhere in the AS directory. its somewhere there.

Good idea MikDog - think I'll do just that!
