[Bf-committers] compositor-effect in sequencer

[trip somewhere]

Hm,m,, I second the problem of seeing the preview. Stuff like After
Effects has a good method of rendering particles and glows and such
effects in the editing window While blender still lacks any real 3d
view preview of anything more than mesh and wireframes.

Could that be added as a target?
