[Bf-committers] VSE movie and other improvements

[Aaron Carlisle]

I have been working on getting the VSE documented.
If you would like to join me on my journey see the the contribute to the
manual page (1).

As for that one phrase 0 is used by the display mode to view all strips.
You can change the viewing channel to be something other then 0 e.g.
to just see channel 2 change the viewer channel to 2.

Does this make sense? I will adjust the wording on that phrase.

As for your tutorial you should also include adding basic effects and
filters.
