I absolutely love that your plan of attack includes a list of the top ranking addons for VSE and top ranking suggestions on right click select. I think any plan to overhaul any area of Blender should include a similar list, because it's really insightful to gain a sense of what specifically is most important to users.

Can thumbnail previews in the strip be added to this list? VSE is the only editor I've ever seen that doesn't do this by default.

To me what lacks most in VSE are the effects we can find in any other video editor.
This is why the ability to apply nodes directly on strips would be a huge step forward. Moreover it would simplify the general workflow.
Regarding the Parallel Rendering improvement, I already use the python script developped by Mickeycal Meyers.

@Francesco Siddi (fsiddi) The VSE chat also has a variation of that wording: https://blender.chat/channel/vse

Thanks for the feedback on the project title, fixed it. Let's keep the thread focused.

Really good to see the vse getting some love. I use vse for all my editing. it is actually a powerful editing suite already, but this work will help no end.

Can I just say..... chroma key? Please?

You can do something like this: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/78947/how-can-i-do-color-keying-using-the-vse

I have long list of features to implement, but I have prioritized work on improving existing code so far.

In any case, even though this task is quite broad, please use other channels for feature requests: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Communication/Contact#User_Feedback_and_Requests.

is OpenFX (OFX) support planned for VSE 2.0?
It's open source license. This would mean that many Plugins could be used, it's a world of opportunities.
I use the current VSE. But with no support of OpenFX, this is the reason why I have to switch to an external software, ( like Dacinci Resolve) to apply them.

This is not planned for "VSE 2.0" project. Goals are listed on this page.

External plugins aren't used in Blender. Closest to this there is OSL shader node and addons that could bridge Blender with another app.
VSE doesn't have such API right now, and I am not looking in implementing such API in near future.
I would like to extend flexibility of processing though in some way, but don't haven't thought of anything concrete or discussed this yet.

Feel free to discuss this on https://blender.chat/channel/vse if you need more info.

why the blender vse dont support 3gp files when the vfx work space does?

the speed control effect should change the length automatically . why it don't work like that ?
and even when you change the length manually you wont be able to cut it any more because it will show you the first frame of the footage rather than where you cut it

Please create bugreport for this.

Also keep in mind that this is not place to request features, see https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Communication/Contact#User_Feedback_and_Requests.
