Agreed. That makes sense.

No I am talking about this, but actually I can only find very few actuall 
definitions:

 <scene duration=”0:0:10:12”>
 	<!-- Effect/input tree goes here -->
 </scene>

ok. 

 <effectname>
	<inputs>
		<input file=”test.avi/>
		<anothereffect>
			<!-- parameters go here-->
		</anothereffect>
	</inputs>
	[... effect parameters ...]
 </effectname>


Ok, as a first step we can keep it very simple, but we will _at_least_ need 
define in and out points for the 'inputs'

  <input file="test.avi" start=3.345345 length=234.55643>

Later it will be necessary to pass some more coordinates to position the 
inputs wrt. to each other and the effects. I think that's what I meant. We 
can maybe skip that for now.

Cheers,
Rolf
