Hung at 66% of clip 3/3 on output. Nice interface, but useless if it can't write output.

Just doesn't work on Windows. It says the video file is corrupted but it plays in video players just fine.

i don't recommend it, it can't write output, my cutted video got hung at 60% even though i waited 2 hours, it just doesn't work.

I thought it was a pain in the butt! No help menu, difficult to mark exactly where you want to cut. Even after that, it never did cut, well, anything. Sucks

Not very precise, output files are frequently off by a second or more. Works best on splitting up longer video. Doesn't reencode so there's no need to fiddle with output settings and processing is quick.

If you press check for update the program effectively locks up. off to task manager.

Linux support is flakey. The choices you have are:

  1. download 2.8 GB of crap and run a 'Flat Pak'

  2. bind yourself into another closed eco-system -- Snap -- antithetical to 'Open Source'

  3. compile your own from source

Yeah, very helpful for the droves of refugees to Linux from the Windows world -- NOT!

Can't transform clips at all, not even do basic rotations.
