I would like to see the ability to say the curtain effect as it opens there is an underlying effect like butterfly showing as the curtain effect is opening.

I think you are describing the existing "mask" features that are used to combine 2 effects.

Steve

The effect I am looking for does not work with the "mask" effect what I am looking for is if you where to use the curtain as effect 1 and say snow fall as effect 2 as the curtain opens you would only see the snow flakes falling where the curtain has already opened would also be like opening a curtain with a picture underneath it  as the curtain opens it reveals the picture as it opens.

I think you're wanting a "super impose" option where one effect is on top of another. In this case curtain over butterfly.  I would like the same functionality for twinkle/strobe over whatever other effect I use.

I have finished this new layer mode.

Before i release it, what should i call it?

Image effect 1 is butterfly, effect 2 is curtain.

Here were the 4 existing combo's
1 is Mask.
This layering will draw a black cell on effect 2 every time effect 1 is non black. In other words effect 1 is cast as a shadow on effect 2

2 is Mask.
This layering will draw a black cell on effect 1 every time effect 2 is non black. In other words effect 2 is cast as a shadow on effect 1

1 is unmask.
This layering will replace any cell in Effect 1 with the color from  effect 2 every time effect 1 is non black.
In other words effect 1 is a mask onto effect2

2 is unmask.
This layering will replace any cell in Effect 2 with the color from  effect 1 every time effect 2 is non black.
In other words effect 2 is a mask onto effect 1

Two new choices I just added

Mask 1 over 2
Any non Black cell on effect 1 will override whatever is in effect 2
This becomes Effect 1 put on top of effect 2

Mask 2 over 1
Any non Black cell on effect 2 will override whatever is in effect 1
This becomes Effect 1 put on top of effect 2

So are there better names?
1 is mask (these feel like a shadow is cast by 1)
2 is mask
1 is unmask (this feels like a true mask. effect 1 allows effect 2 to show)
2 is unmask
mask 1 over 2 (1 sits on top of 2)
mask 2 over 1 (2 sits on top of 1)

here is what the last layer effect looks like. mask 2 over 1.
effect 1 is text
effect 2 is curtain

1 covers 2
2 covers 1

the curtain does a great reveal.

Call it the Reveal.

1 reveals 2
2 reveals 1
