[Bf-funboard] VSE Meta Mode

[David McSween]

Hmmm i have not noticed this behavior recently. Currently I add a color
effect strip at the bottom of each meta stack of strips, this makes it
easier to identify as the meta strip shows a mini version of it's strip
contents.

Also when you un meta a meta strip you loose soft cut information, it would
be useful to have an option to trim the strips to the meta length as they
are released from the nest.
