[Bf-committers] VSE devs?

[Piotr Arlukowicz]

Dear Coders, and lovely Ton,

I'm a long-term, dedicated VSE user. I often beg you in the past to fed
more love to VSE at developers meetings at the Bcons. I do my movie
productions only with VSE, and I can't imagine it will be eventually
removed as a development stopper in the future! But I remember what you
have said Ton: "if you take something out, you should give something better
instead". I appreciate this, these words are bringing hope for all of us,
and if VSE will get some attention, hopefully we can still have it and we
will have it better... I really would like to participate in development
etc, but unfortunately this is a really long way and quite a high jump to
make. Indeed, if I'm on to help, the VSE is way to go for me. I will need
some support though. I know of course git, c-programming, c++-programming
and I'm working on optical-flow algorithms in my scientific job at the
university, the only problem is limited time and finite resources to
support you even more. So, if somebody could help me to help you, that will
maybe work... I tried to code something in Blender with a great help of
Julian (and with some warm words of wisdom from Sergey) but this was not
enough to start become a daily coder. So VSE is a good option, maybe the
only option, because I do really need it and I'm working with it since
years. It's a model you seemingly share: if somebody need something so
dramatically, one could even become a developer to code or improve it :)
Where to start then? Please do not remove VSE yet! :) And let us all have
some fun with this adventure! :)

best regards
pio
