Looks nice. A quick packaging for windows and Mac could let non technical folks wanting to edit video easily adopt something like this. Maybe in the meantime a quick how-to install a virtual machine and edit within.

Yes, I get the impression it only runs on Linux? And we're supposed to infer that by the fact that it's "distro-agnostic" and sometimes the word Free is capitalized in the middle of a sentence. Because if you're in the right place, you're already running a Free OS.

Unfortunately, when I last tried this a couple of years ago (I think), it crashed frequently. It could be my fault since I was using nouveau drivers.

I was gonna ask that. Every video editor I've tried, even back to Windows Movie Maker, crashed frequently.

I don't know why. ffmpeg is rock-solid. Modern CPUs are good enough that you can basically handle 1080p without touching accelerators.

Multi-threading is not impossible to get right in C++. So why do they all crash?

Only works on like RedHat? No other Linux
