Hi Jonathan Personally, i don't know/use Blender but when i see that, and if i imagine to use it in Openshot with easy way, i can just said : Whaooo. But it is a great and long feature to develop. And it is not in ................the survey ( perhaps in the categories Video Effects!!). And with this effects, We dive in the professional effects (Fx). there is a post (enormous) on the forum of a professional videaste who ask a lot of thing in the section features requests and it is here : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=386. It will be very complementary with the title editor.
