The ability to apply filters / adjustments to pixel area sections of a video for a set number of frames.

Eg I want to lighten or darken or HSV adjust a limited area of the video for 400 frames. As opposed to applying an adjustment only to the full frame. Like using lassos, marquee selection, brushes, and so on in Photoshop or the equivalent.

Perhaps the ability to create pixel area adjustment layers (that sit over top of the video) with filters and then be able to apply those template layers only to a certain set of frames.

Nearly all video editing software lacks this type of granular ability; I assume because it's a pain to implement.

This will definitely be there! Long story short, I will allow for something even better, but lets keep it a secret for now :) Having said that, I do believe this will come in an about 3-month timeframe, since it is indeed very hard to implement :)

This should also be there, again, my take right now is we'll have a BETA version of this in an about 3-4 months, and I assume it will take an additional 3-4 months to make it stable. Yes, it is very hard to implement ;)
