I need something that can be as simple and stupid to use as Quicktime Pro 7 used to be. Basically editing the video as easy as editing a text file with fast, consistent, frame accurate selection, instant copy and pasting.

Also, sensible hotkeys.

Thanks!

Agreed! Haven't used Quicktime Pro, but I will ask around.

> Basically editing the video as easy as editing a text file with fast,

Yes, basically that's my focus from the get go.

> consistent, frame accurate selection, instant copy and pasting.

Agreed. Right now, you can even move with the arrows between frames :P

About copy-pasting - I will need to improve on this one. I do allow you to cut a segment very easily. I don't allow pasting yet (you can achieve it easily by splitting the video into segments, then moving the segments around)

> Also, sensible hotkeys.

Agreed. I have hotkeys as well, I just need to fully document them.

Quicktime Pro is ancient abandonware. The downloads exist as do "cracks" for the serial numbers to unlock pro mode. Apple will not provide the download and will not sell serial numbers.
I see, thanks! :)
