Imagine, you publish raw clips and media assets that you have scripted with this plug-in.  Others can then use the same assets to hack-up their own versions of your work.  A sort of Avisynth meets Adamation's (video editor for BeOS) real-time effects preview.  Video mash-ups?

A video producer will just want to apply various effects and 
export the whole kaboodle to a final video file, no plugin 
barriers. Video effects are widely varied and have to be fresh to 
audiences -- a creative artist wouldn't want to be shackled by a 
drop-down menu of effects... the point is that your effects will 
be limited by what you implement in the player. PowerPoint 
enthusiasts will like that, but for real work...

Much of the discussion is quite relevant if the target demographic 
is Lua enthusiasts, but I don't think this will really bite in the 
real world.
