[idea] Scripting capabilities

[vjeux]

Many video tasks are pretty repetitive and the GUI interface may not be the best. For example, I wanted to make a compilation of a video game tracks I built. I had a list of individual video files, their name, when they were played. I manually created the transition for how I wanted it to display. But then I had to copy paste it for the other 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MgWAbPNeeI

Instead I wish I could have written a bit of JavaScript:

const myTracks = [{name: 'Clippy', date: 'December 13 2021'}, {name: 'Yeet', date: 'February 7 2022'}, /* ... */];

const referenceTransition = timeline.tracks[0 /* labels */][0];
for (let i = 1; i < myTracks.length; ++i) {
  const myTrack = myTracks[i];

  const myTransition = referenceTransition.clone();
  myTransition.elements[0].setText(myTrack.name);
  myTransition.elements[1].setText(myTrack.date);
  myTransition.setStart(timeline.tracks[1 /* videos */][i].start);

  timeline.tracks[0 /* labels */].push(myTransition);
}

I don't particularly care about how the API looks like but being able to script the timeline could really give super powers to the video editor.
