we've done a ton of work to optimize the uploads / downloads / transcoding of videos to handle beefy files using proxies, and also allow you to XML export back to traditional editing tools that can link back to your "heavy" media, but I hear you and I think anything running locally on device is just going to feel faster
it does present its own set of challenges, but something we've thought about

There's plenty of great native desktop apps for video editing. And there have been for almost 30 years. I also don't understand why anyone would want to use a browser for this.

there is some friction even in downloading a new app
if our goal is to bring more people into the fold, minimizing the steps for them to start editing is something we want to optimize for
that being said, being on the browser presents its own set of challenges, many of which are rightfully mentioned in this thread
I'm really tired of editing videos in the cloud. I'm also also tired of all these AI image and video tools that make you work over a browser. Your workflow seems so second class buried amongst all the other browser tabs.
I understand that this is how to deploy quickly to customers, but it feels so gross working on "heavy" media in a browser.
