   I have no idea why anyone would use wordpress. I've used it once in 2019, and still have nightmares.

   I feel you! I'm on Android, and can't believe the morons at google still don't get this! It's insanely slow all the time - I mean, I do have a quad core with 3GB of RAM, it's not top of the top, but still, at this

   Agreed 100%! I've redesigned the UI of my timeline (for a video editor) several times, in order to constantly make it faster. It's painful (for me, that is :D), but I know it's the right thing to do.

   I agree you need to keep it simple, for sure. But if you don't have a WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet editor, you'll need to regenerate your video countless times until you get it right. That's the only issue I have with it - but clea

   I'm curious why you'd actually want to go through the pain of using a programming language to do this. I think there's a reason why this isn't popular -- video editing is insanely hard if you want something non trivial,

    Social media should be a good thing. The trouble is everyone associates it with Facebook + Instagram (and they both suck). It's really hard for a new player to come into this crowded market, but I'm sure it will happen sometimes i

    As far as I know, a lot of companies offer monthly contracts at a premium. Why not use that until you're comfortable with the Saas product?

    I did take a look. It's a nice tool even though the UI is not the most modern :) Seems the features that it has have already been suggested by others in the thread. Having said that, since I installed it on my desktop, I will take anot

    Just took a look at the multicamera feature. While it's a cool idea, seems it's insanely poorly implemented on Sony Vegas. Here's what I have: you can hover over any video track and I instantly show you what's there. So

    Thanks! I have crop, merge, insert transitions/texts. I will integrate blending. That's pretty much on top of my todo list (after some stability fixes :D) It will take some time, since I will do this as part of a larger module tha

    Agreed! :) It took me a while to finally get that in a lot of places, I don't need to reinvent the wheel, and just see what already works (in UI terms) :)

    Thanks! I may take another stab at it in the future. One of the (many) problems I've had with it is that quite a few mkv files have improper headers (thus, you can't know, for instance, the frame size and/or video length in s

    Thanks! Here's my answer to another user: I do want to go multi-platform ASAP. However, because of the sheer complexity of video editing - and since I focused on speed + ease of use from the get go, I chose to go with a single platform
