Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and suitable for tutorials and demos. Built-in video editor fits neatly into how we already work, and built-in video editor removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Built-in video editor just works and reduces need for separate editing software. MacOS only, no Windows or Linux support can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: trim, cut, and split clips and native Mac performance and design. Where it lags: less powerful than dedicated NLE editors. On balance the feature set — especially optimized for macOS — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.
