Multiview could be a lot more flexible if we could have control of the mixing of the layers.

This would be like the alpha control on the overlays. It would allow someone to have a image with an alpha channel allowing it to be keyed, but then made semi-transparent in some cases.

Key invert would also be handy.

What is the use case for that. I don't get it.

Lots of reasons - See my post on drop shadows on the main discussion.

IF we had opacity and shortcuts to them - we may get to the point we could have layers fade in and out in the "MultiView"
Now we are really talking about power control.

The ability to have a single reference logo with a complex alpha.

Use it fully opaque in some shots. That's alpha channel keyed, and fully mixed into view.

Use it semi-transparent in other places. That's alpha channel keyed, and partially mixed into view.

We already have such capability in the overlays. It's just a question of allowing it in the multiviews layers.

That would allow the multiview composites to be more sophisticated, without requiring a ton of prep work in Photoshop, and many more elements in the project.

+1 to opacity and an invert function. These are bread and butter tools making a lot of other creative uses easily possible.

Perhaps a soft edge function on the crop.

+1 huge benefit. I use 3 keys for one graphic with 3 separate parts, because I can't transition in a multiview, otherwise I'd use a multiview and transition, freeing up most of my keyers for other use.
