This is very cool; I look forward to playing with these templates. There's another similar project that's just been launched that I thought I should share, called snstncntnrs. It provides a pretty intensely edited XML or EDL file that you can then associate with your own three videos with pretty interesting results. It's an open source project that is calling for contributions. It's a fun form of video experimentation, but also a really interesting way to learn about editing aesthetics and other people's approaches to it.
