Allow editing multiple videos at the same time. about javis.jl HOT 3 OPEN

I'm sorry that I missed this issue for so long. Yes I think that is a reasonable approach. I think there are a few more changes that need to be made like it would be good to store the video struct in every Object then and let it default to the current video.
Your approach would also make it easier to run Javis in Pluto as Pluto needs to figure out which cells depend on each other.

Are you yourself interested in working on a PR for this?

I might have time for PR next month if that is fine with your plan.

that'd be neat , until then if one wants to just re-use objects between videos one can still append one videos objects to another video

using Javis
video1=Video(500,500)
Background(1:5,(v,o,f) -> (background("white")))
line1 = Object(1:5,(v,o,f) -> line(O,O+100,:stroke))
line2 = Object(1:5,(v,o,f) -> line(Point(100,0),Point(0,100),:stroke))
render(video1,pathname="vid.mp4")

video2 = Video(600,600)
Background(1:5,(v,o,f) -> (background("white")))
append!(video2.objects,line2)
line3 = Object(1:5,(v,o,f) -> line(O,Point(0,100),:stroke))
render(video2,pathname="vid2.mp4")

vid.mp4 will have line1 and line2 , but vid2.mp4 will have line2 and line3
you can also import all the objects using video1.objects[2:end] if you ensure that the first Object you create in video1 is Background
