Bump: movie support

Went to the history of pixory postings, lost in the mist of times.
This mail got no response what so ever. Together with album
hierarchies is the thing I would like mostly to be added.


Has Reimer left the building?
I like Reimer's scenario's 
My preference would be 1 with the addition of:
Select an image and placeholder yourself, since selecting a frame from
the movie, although very cool, would be a bit too ambitous in first
iteration. Fist option would be to choose a picture yourself. 

Movies should be clearly distinguished from pictures since the
behaviour would be different. How to visualize this I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?
