Lumiera (I understand) will have a meta-clip/EDL concept; will this meet your needs?
The idea is that one can put together an EDL (Edit Decision List) and then drop that into another timeline as a meta-clip. For example you could make each scene a separate EDL and then combine them all in a top-level EDL. Presumably, you could do some of the other things that you mention, such as dropping the same meta-clip in several times (or reusing it in several videos), or changing the speed or adding other effects. 2008/6/7 Thorsten Wilms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Fri, 2008-06-06 at 13:47 +0200, Kurt Georg Hooss wrote: > > well... erm... sorry i don't understand. that's really compact. > > maybe there is some really smart sense in it, so it could be worth > > that you please elaborate a bit for dummies like me. > > > > http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/containers/ > > Think of the folders, files and folders within folders on your > harddrive.
