What it is
A multitrack video editor with proxies, keyframes, effects and a large format list, built on the MLT framework.
Good for
YouTubers and small teams who need a capable editor without a subscription.
The catch
It can be less stable on very heavy projects, and some codecs and effects need extra setup. It has fewer templates and integrations than Premiere.
