I think the best way ahead is for you to put together a list of parameter 
types that you need to implement piaves current transitions sensibly, and 
then in complex cases (such as fonts, colors) we can discuss the exact 
implementation details.

Ok, it's just too easy to get carried away ;-)

Yes, let's aim for a beta release first.

Here are the problems that I know about :

Kdenlive :

* Sometimes when trying to move one clip next to another in kdenlive, there 
will be a gap and it won't let you get any closer. I'll look into this, I 
suspect it is a rounding error of some sort, but have not looked into it yet.


Piave :

* Piave does not seem to implement the <render> command at the moment - is 
this a possibility for the weekend or is it going to take more time?


Cheers,
Jason
