Better Alpha Channel/Title Management

$

MC's management of titles and Alpha channel clips hasn't been updated in years.   I started compiling a list of improvements I'd like to see are:

1) Match frame - MC doesn't match frame back to alpha channel clips.  Sometimes I need to search through multiple bins to fnd an Alpha channel clip.   We can use match frame/find bin to locate any other clip easily.  Why can't we do this with Alpha channel clips?  

2) Export - Exporting graphics tracks as an Alpha channel clip.   I receive Alpha channel graphics & animations from editors working in other edit systems.  But I can't export alpha channel clips.   For example, I'll create a lower thirds with titles and animation and need to export the graphics as an alpha channel clip (without the underlying video) to use in other programs or send to other editors.

3) Renaming Clips - I've posted about this before.   Once you cut an alpha channel title into the timeline, if you rename it in the bin it does not update in the sequence.

4) Bin Display - Display the image of the Alpha channel clip as a frame-- as all other clip are displayed--instead of a title or matte icon.

What other Alpha channel/ title management improvements would you like to see?
