The software is great because it allows me to create multiple versions of video so I can go back later. It also makes editing easier by allowing you to quickly move through clips in various sequences without having to manually link each clip into its correct spot in time and space. Sometimes when adding audio tracks or effects it seems that not all options are available (ie no color correction). Maybe this will be fixed someday but for now keep an eye out for any missing features you might need. This program has helped improve my work flow immensely! The user interface is intuitive and easy to use. It's a robust system that allows you to work quickly without having to worry about getting in your way. There are some functions that are not as intuitive and it can be tricky to get used to them. I would recommend using trial versions of products before buying. We were able to solve our problem of keeping track of media files in one place.
