Wow, this EDL thing is unlimited; it must be pure magic! I was trying
to prevent questions like "how do I represent the effects and
transitions in my timleine?" Read what I said. EDL is definitely a
more limited representation than the Kdenlive project file. I know
that it is used to exchange information with other editors, but only
*some* information. That is, by definition, "a limited subset of what
Kdenlive can do." When we provide things like this, many less informed
users will expect that they can now load their kdenlive project into
blender with full fidelity. You give an inch and they expect a mile.
