It's not always obvious that all of today's top goo tube stars only started editing videos 10 years ago. Firstly, goo tube wasn't a serious money maker until 10 years ago, tube stars have a finite lifespan below 10 years, but less obviously, the tools for editing videos weren't accessible to consumers until 10 years ago.

Lions don't often realize it because they've been editing toy videos for over 20 years. There's a long way between what lions have done for 20 years & what the full timers have done for 10 years.

In long form editing with lots of tracks, the commercial products do a better job keeping everything synchronized. The commercial products import all HDR footage & LUTs & do realtime colorimetry as part of the codec. They have a lot more canned titles & overlays. They do a better job with speed curves.

Those are the long term baseline functions which have arisen in the last 10 years, as opposed to fads like 3D, VR, & JPEG 2000.

Lions have always gotten what they need for their level of editing from Cinelerra. The only way to justify having the last 10 years of baseline functionality is to actually need editing on the level of a full time goo tuber. In this case, there's a case for just using a commercial editor.

Premiere is still a top program, despite all the new Apple products, & it's freely downloadable from the right places. Final Cut Pro is also freely downloadable from the right places. It definitely wasn't that easy to get commercial software 10 years ago. In some ways, the increasing ease of getting pirated software killed the open source demand.
