I am working on my own NLE for the Mac

Has anyone come across this one?

it looks modular… but not cheap. The editor is essentially Sony Vegas apparently.

Borisfx you say?  Well, since this is a thread about editing, good spot to mention the old Media100.  Anyone here know what I'm talking 'bout?  That Boris guy was busy in the 1990's. 

Actually, if you want an old school editor, you can take a journey into the wayback machine and download his media100.com/ 

Along with the early and buggy versions of Premiere (you can't fault Adobe for staying true to their legacy), the M100 was the system on which a lot of early NLE adopters did corporate work.  NTSC, baby!  1/3rd of a megapixel!  And all of that plugged into a 68040 motorola Macintosh.  BTW, similar chips are in my Amiga/Video Toaster, which I still have and still use it to play "Worms" on it as well as "Pinball Fantasies." 

My Amiga is right next to my Vectrex Video Game System that I got for Christmas as a 13 year old.  Anyone here play Minestorm?

Anyway, back to computers:  the Video Toaster's NLE, "The Video Flyer," was the biggest POS to ever even try to call itself non-linear-editing.  Their horrible attempt at it basically took a nail gun to the coffin of the company's, NewTek, earlier successes -- successes that started in the late 80's.

Geeze-Louise, really going into the past now.  [insert obligatory "Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk" joke here and also maybe the "Onion on my belt" Simpson's gag]

This guy has made a great tool to make Resolve super easy to use. In his examples he makes pretty great looking grades within seconds, and it's all done inside the EDIT page, using the viewer as a slider canvas. Drag up for more, drag down for less.

I've been a user of (Sonic Foundry/Sony/Magix) Vegas since it evolved into video editing software in 2000 (the first version was audio-only). Although I've strayed away from it a few times over the intervening 25 years, I've always gone back to it because I like the way it works. I'm currently running (Magix) version 22, the first BorisFX version is Vegas Pro 2026 (derived from Magix version 23).

It's MS Windows-only though...

replicate the simplicity of iMovie HD with some modern tools.
