It's a transcript editor with a timeline bolted on. That's its limit. For quick social clips or trimming a podcast? Fine. But the moment you try anything with layers, keyframes, or precise sync, it falls apart.
Tried to do a simple picture-in-picture with separate audio tracks. The workflow is a mess:
* The "Overdub" feature is a vendor lock-in trap. Your synthetic voice only works inside their ecosystem.
* Automatic transcription errors create phantom cuts in your timeline.
* No proper keyframing. You're dragging elements and hoping the "magic" positioning works.
* Export options are limited. Need a specific codec or resolution? Tough.
```json
// This is the level of control you *don't* get.
{
"video_editor": {
"keyframe_curves": "none",
"audio_routing": "basic_mixdown",
"export_profiles": "presets_only"
}
}
```
It's another tool that's good at one thing (transcript-based edits) but markets itself as a full suite. You'll hit a complexity ceiling fast and have to redo the project in a real editor.
