%%%Creating proxies for meta-strips with animation on internal transform strips breaks the transformation.

Attached is a blend file and image. The file contains a meta-strip which groups an image strip that is then scaled with a transform effect strip. The preview window is set to use proxy 50%, but no proxies have been created.
Notice that the scale on the transform strip animates nicely.
Now select the entire meta strip and have it build a proxy at 50% to a directory of your choosing (it doesn't matter where).
Now play the sequence again. There is no transformation, and upon opening the proxy directory, you see that the images in the built proxy do not contain any animated transformation either. Furthermore, blender has mysteriously deleted all the animation data from the transform strip inside the meta strip. This appears to happen for any animatable image property inside a meta strip. I have not yet checked whether the curves for an audio strip inside a meta strip are removed after building proxies (i'm not even sure if proxies could be built for this kind of strip).

Expected behavior: Building proxies of meta strips takes into account any animations applied inside that meta strip and applies them to the rendered proxies. Blender then uses the proxies in place of the meta strip and ignores but retains any animatic data that exists inside the strip for use in final render.

Actual behavior: Blender renders proxies with animated values 'held' at the current frame for the entire proxy render. It removes animations from inside the meta strip, forcing users to re-apply them for final render.

%%%I've fixed issue with removing animation data after building proxies in svn rev53077. As for animation not applying on proxies it is how proxies are designed to work, and it's not currently possible to apply animation data when building proxy. It should just not be needed by the usecase -- you need to bake original movies only for less memory consumption while editing. Proxies are not for pre-caching any data.%%%
