Well this early version will be able to simply cut video, no fades no 
anything. It'll be able to cut at any frame, but not between frames. Audio 
currently is impossible.
But maybe we should define a number of abilities and put them into a 
cutter ability file:
In my case this might be:
cutting accuracy 1
or something

Ohh so you don't have a lot to do :)

Good

Well I think in version 2 we should add thought controll for the whole 
editing process, as well as automated scene recognition so you just feed 
in your material, and it will automatically know how it should be cut. As 
well as script parsing, so you'll enter the script and your material, and 
you get the whole movie cut.
