Mac video editors - Where are they?

1

For the life of me I can't find a video editor for Mac OS X that can edit the major formats. I switched recently. I used to use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 on Windows. It accepts any format and I can cut and trim all I want and export into a combined file or separate files.

I couldn't find anything like that on Mac since I switched in February 2012. Please help me find one, I am drowning in video files that need editing and all my HDDs are full.

PS: I'm talking frame accurate visual timeline editing, not like Handbrake, where you have to enter the number of frames or seconds. Handbrake also cannot combine parts.

2Do you mean you can't find any free or open source software? – iglvzx – 2012-05-20T02:04:30.027

AviDemux has a Mac version, and handles multiple file types.

MPEG Streamclip has a Mac version and handles a few file types, but is purported to be a bit basic.

ZS4 has a Mac version, but is a different kind of editor. Might be worth a look, considering it's free.

HyperEngine AV is a free Mac editing tool.

Of course, you could always install Windows on a part of your hard drive using Bootcamp, and then use TMPGEnc again... or any other Windows editing tool.

Thanks a lot, I tried 2 of those but I will try the other 2. Its sad to see there is nothing equivalent on the Mac. I switched blindly thinking Mac has to have a similar or better video editing app that accepts all the major formats. – vxt – 2012-05-20T20:41:14.353
