Hey yeah, do what you can with it, no need to include me at all, just summarize.
The multi-scene concept is great.  Just be sure to query for same frame sizes is
all as it can't do different ones you know, at same time.  Wonder if you can
check the file size for a relation to the frame size automatically somehow...
Then again that could run into a problem with aspect ratio being different yet
have exact same pixel count maybe.  Hmmm.  So just warn about it I suppose, up
to you.
Anything else isn't really needed anyway, the editing stuff I mean.
Just thought, that means a version 5 might exist soon!
