> I realize now that, because of the size of video files and the time required to process them, the manipulate-the-file-directly workflow probably wouldn't be feasible.
Yes, it is very unfeasible :) You don't wanna know the things I do behind the scenes to make this as user friendly as possible :)
> But if you think that Windows users inexperienced with video editing would have the same file-based mindset that I had, you might want to see if you can make your interface seem as though the user is opening, editing, and saving their video files directly.
Not sure what to say here. As far as I know, users have a far less "file-based mindset" as a while ago (I would know, I'm 42 years old :D)
I do think the UI shows to the user that he's opening/editing/saving the files directly - but that's for you guys to say :D
One thing I struggle with is this: how do I show to the user that he's not modifying the original video files? And since we have a video project, if you later remove one of the original video files and reopen the project, part of it is "lost". I need to add a "Create local copies" option and make it easy enough to understand ;)
