CompositorVSE update for the Real Time Compositor?

[tin2tin]

I don't know how much interest you still have in Blender, but with the new Real Time Compositor: https://code.blender.org/2022/07/real-time-compositor/ your CompositorVSE add-on could become very useful again, and now with even more reason d'etre. However, it properly needs some updates. You can grab a build of the experimental Real Time Compositor branch here: https://builder.blender.org/download/experimental/temp-viewport-compositor-merge/

After installation the UI looks like this:

Clicking the button, a new scene will be generated and nodes will be set up, however switching to that new scene there will be this error:

Clicking the Edit Composition, I get thiss error:

Currently isn't the Reroute and Scale nodes used by CompositorVSE supported by the Real Time Compositor build. Transform can maybe be used instead of Scale?

However, removing those nodes, the composition is actually returned to the VSE fine:

Having the Addon work with the real time compositor would be nice for sure! Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do filming (and video editing) currently, and hence I don't maintain the addons actively. This may change in the case that I'll do some video project in the future, but I can't anticipate that for now.

(And to be honest, it is always a bit frustrating to have all the sophisticated color science workflow abilities in Blender, but still no 10 bit video support for benefiting from properly encoded log footage...)

Anyway, if anyone wants to contribute code, pull requests are always appreciated! :)
