Thanks, this is definitely something that would be possible. > I think the main hurdle would be actually doing the editing because of how time consuming it is. Perhaps the edit lists could be sold, and the after market editors could get paid. That's exactly what was envisaged. This is just an open format. There could be (commercial) platforms or markets that offer complete filter lists. You don't have to do it yourself. Even more than that, you shouldn't do everything yourself. This can be a community effort, where you contribute only small parts. > I wouldn't want to get into the mess of distributing copyrighted content, so I was thinking of using the seek mechanism built into video players. This is what this project is about. You don't have to distribute source material. You have to distribute the filter lists only. The format can be "transpiled" to popular playlist formats that make use of the seek mechanisms. > In the naive implementation of this scenario, time would have to be very well synchronized between source materials. This is built-in. You may take a look at the converter/transpiler tool.
