usable for real work

For this milestone to be reached, users should be able to get real work done with Lumiera. Especially, a basic asset management should be in place, Lumiera should be able to handle the most common media types, the user should be able to do common editing tasks (adding, trimming, rolling, splicing copying, moving) both by direct manipulation within the timeline, as by using the conventional two-viewer setup with in/out points. Moreover, it should be possible to attach effects (probably still just some limited kinds of effects), apply simple transitions and control the layering and overlay mode on output. Similarily, the elementary routing capabilities and the handling of multiple sequences should be suported (probably still with limitations). The framework for automation handling should be in place, while there may be still limitations on automation/keyframe editing. Having about this feature set indicates, that Lumiera entered the beta phase.
