I've been thinking about these suggestions for a while, and think I'll
do the following:
1) Update the plugin so that is uses templates instead of a macro.
This is a great idea - I wonder why so many of the plugins use macros?
2). Change the plugin so that it fades to any color. I think I can do
this, but may run into complications. I'm reviewing other plugins to
see how they implement a GUI to pick a color. Any suggestions are
appreciated!
3). At this point, the plugin name would change to "flash to color", I
guess. Would the current "flash" plugin be a subset? I realize that
you would not want to eliminate the current plugin for backwards
compatibility reasons.

Thanks! That did it. The Dip2Black transition should be in the

If it needs any changes, please let me know. I can also work on other
issues if you'd like. Thanks.
Thank you!
Wouldn't it be possible to add an option to the Flash plugin to "flash" to
black instead of to white?
Can't the same effect be achieved with a fade? That is, you fade out the first
clip, then fade in the second clip. What is the advantage of a transition?
Answers to these questions should also be recorded in the commit message.
BTW, if you intend to work a bit more on the plugin, I'd prefer if the
DIP2BLACK macro were converted to a template function. That makes it much
easier to run the plugin in a debugger.
