hey ned, this is interesting information, but i haven't worked on TRON or somehow 'near' the cinema world, lately So far I deleted everything in the scripts (haven't been many in the few days i figured out the add_layer part). But today, while showing several old comps (6.0.1 nearly over a year old), the RED GREEN BLUE (aka the red guard - virus ;) ) showed up all of a sudden. OMG, the MPC really taking over all scripts… the past .. the future???
