Thanks for the quick response Romain. Adding "cut" support for local files
is exactly what we need right now :). I hope you put support for the
annotate protocol, so we could use something like
annotate:liq_cue_start=x, liq_cue_end=y, liq_fade_in=z, ... :/path/to/file
Currently we are "cutting" files as Jean-Francois mentioned, but it would be
much more desirable to have a consistent and unified solution.
