Any future interest in improving it?

I want to know if there are interest in improving it with some more options or support (newer Blender versions) and so. Or it is considered a final release?

I just landed here by the problem of don't finding any open source software for video editing that can run on linux and can use some more modern implementations like IA that helps on some works like masking and rotoscoping.

There are neither optical flow being it a very old technology and near to be obsolete. I don't understand how the open source community is not interested at all on video editing.

I hope this project can evolve or almost being updated to have a great automasking feature for blender.

Hi there,

I don't see myself working on this project much in the future. It was fun to develop this feature but there are massive shortcomings.

• The installation is almost impossible to do (even when it still worked)
• The code is really bad
• The UI has some serious bugs

If anyone wants to fix these things, this addon would probably be well received, but I wouldn't blame them for starting from scratch.

As you said, there is not much interest in video editing at the moment, but I think this will change in the near future.
With all these image based tasks being revolutionized by AI the next logical step will be videos.
