I have done it for years, no big deal. Clients think its cool, you just have to work smartly and keep your scenes and rigs fast.
I have also become myself a better Director/Editor by working like this. I wonder if this would work with an alembic based scene?? Playback speed with alembic files seems to be very fast and might be a good way of editing higher res material if the sequencer can handle them.

For game it is an other story (that I don't know). On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Eric Lampi <ericla...@gmail.com> wrote: I can see a sequencer being very useful. Compositors and clients almost always want some wiggle room, being able to set a value for handles/head and tail on the cameras is what I would consider to be an essential feature.

That is the very first thing I ever did with the mixer while testing the alpha versions of Sumatra , but always wanted more control. For fast cutting 3d action scenes there is no better way to explore cameras/edits than this methodology. I hope there is a way to include handles, if not I am sure it would not be to hard for Chris and his team to add. I will upgrade just for this feature alone.
