Thanks! > GUI's. Plain and simple. It's gotta be as absurdly easy to use like iMovie but at least have the basic capabilities of a Sony Vegas Home version (the $30 kind). Agreed! I do hope I've done this, but yeah, you would need to try it and let me know :D I'm sure it can always be made easier, and I will certainly constantly improve on it! > Cutting, scrubbing, aligning, have multiple tracks, and for gods sake a simple and easy way to understand what I'm encoding/rendering (see Shotcut). Got it! Cutting, aligning, multiple tracks - it's there. Scrubbing - it's on my todo list (this is really difficult to implement! :)) I do think I have a simple way to show what you're rendering (once you press Export), but I'll take another look at Shotcut. > KDENLive and Shotcut are two OSS video editors I've used simply because they're open source, but by god do they still have a long ways to go in terms of stability and ease of use. Hehe, I just took a look at KDENLive - it's decent, but the UI is pretty horrible :D So I guess I'm in good shape :D > For me, 99/100 times all I want to do is trim, split, have multiple tracks, have some fades, add text (animation or not), and lastly read and output various codecs. Yup, makes sense! I do have a bit to go on this front, but yeah - all that I don't yet have, added to my todo list. > Update: I had a thought right after posting. Basically if you could take Shotcut, but make it look and feel more like Sony Vegas, I think you hit the nail on the casual/semi-pro you're looking for. Got it! Not a huge fan of Sony Vegas, but I'll take another look. My biggest inspiration so far has been Final Cut.
