Hey guys,

is there anywhere a little documentation for the mix8layer?
I mean, tha basic stuff is clear i think but there are some options
like the blend mode ( 1-17 or so) And it would be great to know what each mode will do.
(blend, mix, multiply etc etc)

Any hints?

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking, but it sounds like you may have an older version, or are maybe missing the AEmix8layerTemplate.mel file. My blend modes are named as follows (this is just an excerpt from the template):

attrEnumOptionMenuGrp
-l "blending.mode"
-at $attrName
-ei 0 ") alpha"
-ei 1 ") normal.mix"
-ei 2 ") add"
-ei 3 ") multiply"
-ei 4 ") substract"
-ei 5 ") screen"
-ei 6 ") darker"
-ei 7 ") lighter"
-ei 8 ") difference"
-ei 9 ") average"
-ei 10 ") negation"
-ei 11 ") exclusion"
-ei 12 ") overlay"
-ei 13 ") hard.light"
-ei 14 ") soft.light"
-ei 15 ") color.dodge"
-ei 16 ") color.burn"
-ei 17 ") reflect"
-ei 18 ") glow"
-ei 19 ") stamp"
-ei 20 ") freeze"
-ei 21 ") heat"
bcBlend_modeGrp;


But if you want to know the actual math behind each, I'm not sure. Obviously some are common to many applications, but "freeze" and "heat" - I dont know.

So, maybe just consider this a hint.
