Oscar Award winning video editor goes open-source (opens in new tab)

I hope it's better than their website...it's completely unusable under Chrome. But good on them, this is one area where OSS has been lacking up to now.

At least the "productions" page is impressive. Anyone has experience how usable it is for amateurs/hobbyists?

I can't find sys reqs. Mac? Linux? Windows?

Summary: It's not out yet. No mention of the open-source license to be used, or whether they will be pursuing a "MySQL" model of charging commercial users (presumably not -- they already sell video storage hardware). The only mention of monetization is that there will be a "marketplace" for proprietary extensions.

This is very interesting to me as we have been relatively happy using Final Cut to produce our films but it seems to lag behind a bit in adopting new technology and I'd like an open-source solution so we have more options available for doing distributed renders, etc.

Exciting...wish there was more information available!

I'm not going to fill out a form just to check out their software.
