Autopano Video Pro as a Plugin

To make further edits (cuts, fades, add text, more audio tracks, etc) to the stitched footage usualy requires rendering out the footage to intermediate files for further editing. This is time consuming, or either lossy or uses a lot of disk space.

I'm wondering about the possibility of making an AutoPano Video plugin that could be hosted in other video editing programs (Vegas, Premiere, etc), to directly stream the stitched video to the editor. The plugin could open a .kava file, and basically make the .kava act as a video clip item, streaming the timeline of the .kava directly to the host.

Then you could have a direct lossless pipeline from raw footage to the final output, without time consuming intermediate steps.

Could something like that work? Similar tricks can already be done with AVISynth, with whatever programs that support it.

The feature would be similar to the Dynamic Link between Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro; but understandably harder to implement as it would need to conform to each video editing suite's own plug-in architecture.
