How to automate selection and assembly of clips defined in an input file with builtin functions or (python) scripts I'm approaching the blender video editor and I'm wondering if there are built-in functions/available (python) scripts to automate the operation of cutting/assembling  subscenes/clips indexed in a file.

Meaning, suppose my director gives me an AVI movie and a file containing a list of times t_1_in, t_1_fin, t_2_in, t_2_fin, ... delimiting the subscenes/clips to be cut and assembled.

Is it possible in Blender to automate the cutting and selection of the clips defined by the t_i's in a file (say .dat) and their assembly in a continuos sequence?
There is an add-on to import EDLs (Edit Decision List), it is a trunk add-on that comes with Blender. As long as your list conforms to the correct source and timecode i don't see why this couldn't work.
