The screenshots look nice. This is a segment Open Source has traditionally lagged so it’s very cool to see new entrants.
I was really excited a while back for the OpenShot rewrite, but one thing I never liked was the new (iirc similar to the old) UI. I can’t exactly pinpoint what, it just had more of a “Windows Movie Maker” style UI, and it wasn’t my cup of tea. This UI, though, looks pretty nice imo.
I’m curious to dig in and see where this project is headed. Would be amazing to see an opensource NLE working towards hardware acceleration and supporting huge resolutions well, but I’ll also take an open source mid-tier video editing tool with a nice UI and be perfectly content.
