Known issues
- This is a large editor: the first start downloads about 41.5 MB before compression, so it can take a while on a slow connection. Your browser keeps it afterwards.
- When the browser language is Chinese, the editor warns that a Chinese font is missing.
- The tests above ran on a local test server, before this site went live.
When to keep the original software
Keep using the desktop video software for broadcast delivery, camera RAW footage (not supported yet), or projects that depend on its plug-ins.
