Hi Nick,

I think your attachment got lost somehow, could you send it again?

In general, those new features you mention are all on the todo list, so it
would be great to have someone working on them.

One thing to bear in mind at the moment - later this year, work will begin
on moving Openshot away from using the MLT video library to our own
library. This will affect those features you mention.

But lets take a look at your ideas first and start from there.

Thanks,
Andy.
