It feels like DT is approaching a place where, should this transcript-to-video become a reality, then @BLUEFROG, @cgrunenberg et al, are going to have to prepare some standard responses to
“Why can’t I edit clips together in DT?”
In the text world, you can cut and copy text from any number of formats (RTF, md, docx) and cobble them together in another new doc.
Video editing works entirely differently than making a new text doc (a sequence in Resolve, Premiere, or AVID is, in Devonian terms, indexing a ton of files on media hard drives)
If you think there’s a lot of text editing software and layout formats, please take some time to read about codecs, pixel aspect ratios, and frame rates.
I welcome new features like everyone else but I’ve also lived through all of the video editing packages getting bloated with added functionality and all of them have gone through dark phases of waiting for the available CPU/GPU to catch up to make them stable again.
