If you have Blender in muscle memory, is using it as a video editor an option for you? Supposedly it's pretty good once you get over the learning curve, does knowing Blender for 3D help with that?

I tried Blender for many hours. It's not even in the same galaxy as a dedicated screencast editing tool like Camtasia.

Even adding something as simple as a good looking text overlay in Blender was a massive undertaking and it didn't look anywhere near as nice as Camtasia out of the box.

It was also extremely slow when editing videos. Like the timeline and preview were super laggy on a basic 1080p recording of my desktop.
