Looks fairly interesting for some of my more casual use, I might give it a download. Any big gotchas that you have come across or any tricks using it (special plugins, etc)?

  Like most (all?) of the Linux video editors you have the occasional crash. It happens way less than Openshot or Pitivi but it's still present. I don't know if it also happens on Windows or OSX. You can version control your edits and do text operations since it's a MLT file so that helps. Not really my thing but you can insert HTML5 overlays and animations. There's a demo on the youtube channel but it's quite "verbose" for most users. GPU accelerated filters are really fast and I have no problems working with 1080p 15GB+ files. But that's nothing compared to what professionals use so I can't really comment on that.

    > the occasional crash I don't get this. Why is this true for the genre? I've been trying various video editors for 10 years, and they all crash. Every last one of them. I recently gave up on Windows Moviemaker because it crashes rendering anything over 30 minutes long. (Not only does it crash, it freezes Windows so bad you have to powercycle.)

      Exact same experience here. I too would like to understand why this happens. Am guessing the excuse on Windows would at one time have been the huge variety of supported video hardware, but that no longer seems to be the issue. And that's only a guess. Not sure if it's DirectX or whatever they call it, device drivers, application-level code, or what. These experiences have made me loyal to exactly zero video editor programs.

Is that first screenshot showing QT and the last one GTK, or is it just QtCurve or some other theme-trickery?

  Per github page it's a Qt5 application. Qt can use Gtk2 to render its widgets, so that's probably what's happening in the ubuntu screenshot.

thank you, you've provided exactly what every software website, open source or not needs and often doesn't have. Good large screenshots, and a true walk through, not some wonky thing using animated paper cutouts or some other showing of benefits displacing actual features. If a realtor wants to sell a house, they can talk up benefits in the car all they want, but ultimately they need to show the nooks and crannies of the house for any traction.
