Video editing software

@Hans

For years I have hoped there would be a simple but effective video editor software for AmigaOS. If you look on YouTube for videos about a now abandoned NewTek editor called SpeedEDIT you'll see a marvelous style of interface that is not really replicated elsewhere. It combines the tiles of the original versions of iMovie with the timelines of everything else. I paid NewTek a whole thousand US dollars for that software, only to see them take it off the market not so long after. Ugh.

Simple and no-nonsense but with some power and elegance is the way to go with a NLE. For heavy hitting, now I have Davinci Resolve, but I'd love to do some easy stuff on on AmigaOS machines.

VideoClipper is a very nice effort that I used some years ago. I'm not sure it can be called full fledged, but nonetheless useful and appreciated. I'll get back to it as soon as I get my computer room back together.

Are there any modern video editors that still have a story-board style UI? While that is easier to get started, it gets messy quickly when you have multiple layers on top of each other.

Although there are obvious issues with data protection etc, it would be interesting to see how usable the online editors are for simple projects.

It would be very interesting to see how close we could get to porting OpenShot.

I imagine that for a modern editor, our biggest problem would eventually be our lack of RAM for large files
