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.

Cheers.
