So how in Vixen are you telling it when you want it to do an overwrite versus a blend when multiple effects hit the same pixel?  Because there are times when you want it to happen one way or the other.

To my knowledge, keeping in mind I'm new to Vixen and XL, there is not an option to blend or "overwrite".  I think it will always blend.

Just like XL, Vixen can make groups pointing to the same pixel(s).  For example, a minitree with star.  I can make a group for all stars, then a group for all minis, then a group for all minis and stars combined.  I can have effects on all of these and it will blend, while in XL only one is rendered.  I just tested in Vixen with a wipe effect (which is morph in XL) on one group with color red.  Another group, same effect at the same time with color green.  I get yellow.  I guess if I don't want blending, I only use one effect.  The way my groups are arranged it's easy to tell.

By having the ability to have numerous groups means the possibilities are endless.

Hope my explanation made sense.
