Visual Alpha is that new plug-in. It allows you to create grey alpha masks, which you, after once calculated, can keep and composite with other images later. For people, who are not familiar with alpha masks; Think about a stamp or actually it's edges. This plug-in can create you a stamp shaped image and mask with smooth edges. You can then composite it to a bigger image. Ofcourse there are other more complex effects, than simple edge effects. This could be great tool for one, who is creating graphics for video.
Visual Card -plug-in also will soon benefit from Visual Alpha.
