I agree with this a lot. This is the first thing that needs to become
easier because the pieces are in place, but little changes and
enhancements can significantly improve the workflow:
1) Add render/transcode to image sequence.
2) Disable preview in Slideshow Clip by default and add checkbox to
enable it because we can be dealing with large sequences and preview
thumbnailing is very slow.
3) Somehow bundle this up into the existing external editor support or
some new proxy-editing feature.

Beyond that, we need to step back and discuss wether you want to
leverage the UI of some external tool or just its processing
capability. If you want to leverage the UI, do you want to have a
tightly integrated shared canvas, non-tightly-integrated embedding, or
non-embedded at all - just leveraging the existing tool's UI (perhaps
by directly supporting its project file format via its processing
library)?

The kudos really go to FFmpeg developer Baptiste Coudurier.
