[Bf-compositor] Extending some node functions to VSE

[Christian Krupa]

While I can see that full integration of the compositor and sequencer is a
difficult / non trivial thing for the programmers to achieve and possibly
not desirable for the users, I agree with the notion of having a comp node
that can access edit info, be it from a particular strip in a sequence, a
VSE channel or even a whole VSE edit as an input. This would keep the
realtime(ish) nature of the VSE intact and also allow further work to be
done on edits in progress without full commitment to the timeline - Shaun's
mockup is a pretty good example of what might be useful. (maybe only the
strip input would work in this way as it wouldn't have to deal with the VSE
at all besides getting the IN/OUT points of the actual media on disk...)

This debate seems legitimate to me and there are a good few users who would
like to see it progress to the point of action.

cheers

Chris
