hey aoktar.

i had to rerender a scene build in 2.16.2... no changes, just rendering a couple of more frames at the end.
whats happenig is, that the alpha channel is completely strange when rendering in 2.21.1...
please check the difference in the alpha channel.. whats shappening there?
left from red line is 2.16.2 where the szene was set up in. right from red line is 2.21.1...

I have missed to check it. Looking now, i think there is a user problem for object visibility switches. Maybe a different behaviour between plugin versions. Not sure yet.

I haven't tested motion blur for long shutters. Maybe a limitation for key storage in plugin, not for duration.
