A retrospective on two years of development work on Blender's Video Sequence Editor (VSE), highlighting significant improvements across workflow, user experience, and performance through versions 4.1 to 5.0. The small team of 3-4 part-time contributors delivered around 200 pull requests, with upcoming plans focusing on compositor node-based features, hardware acceleration for video encoding/decoding, and enhanced editing workflows. The post acknowledges audio functionality as a major gap and calls for community contributions in that area.
