Whereas editing in Final Cut or Adobe Premiere can take even experienced editors a few hours, Shred Video can cut these videos down in a matter of seconds.

You really need to be careful with journalists saying things like this. If Shred ends up with the same result (or even just a similar result) as an experienced editor then it's truly amazing and it will revolutionise amateur video. If it doesn't then comparisons like this one will leave a lot of users disappointed with the product when they try it, and disappointed early users are incredibly toxic to getting traction.

Thanks onion2k, great point it's importance to not go too far with the hype. There are certainly a ton of things users can do in pro softwares that Shred Video doesn't (yet!) deliver. We've found most GoPro/equivalent users don't want to go to the trouble or pay the cost (Final Cut Pro is $299 in the Mac store) of these pro softwares, Shred Video is a great solution for them.
