I seek more FLOSS/FOSS stuff where I can

Oh yes, the open source enthusiast that does fuck all but seek out the most competitive softwares for free and adds nothing but constant moaning and complaining.

You're doing open-source a great service.

    Tell me a single FLOSS NLE I can use professionally. I’m all ears. Truly.

    You only use FLOSS right? What phone do you have? Computer? What apps/software do you use for work and entertainment? Let’s really drill down here. Because if you’re going to drop bombs and attack me you better have your house in order.

    I identified the significant hurdles open source NLE’s face. It’s reality. It’s why they aren’t being used professionally at all. If they can’t even reach 10% feature parity they aren’t on the table dude. I have bills, I have obligations. You think a client is going to accept “no I can’t fix that simple problem because my free NLE won’t let me but this other free one that’s closed source does”? Imagine this conversation.

    Hobbyists can hack away with these limited tools. It’s why drew that distinction. But i can’t unless I want to quit my career over not using Resolve/Premiere/Avid. You going to end your income over FLOSS?
