I have been thinking (read: obsessing) over the idea of implementing a simple media management feature in Blender using a Python script. This morning I found a topic — prerendering for sequencer — which shows that the Python API covers at least part of the VSE. So it may be feasible.

Since the BlenderAVC clip meta info is contained in a clips.xml document in each “project” folder, the script could allow you to choose a set of these XML documents and then use them to show your available clips — size, length, thumbnail … ? You could then tell it to place a clip on the timeline and it could automatically create a meta strip containing the video and audio tracks. Hmmmm …
