Hi all, first poster here.
I just downloaded the trial version of VDMX this evening and within 10 minutes I was messing up videos heavily and having a blast. And this is with basically zero prior video experience (I have a video camera but that's about the extent of it so far). Intuitive, reminds me of audio software I've used but actually easier than most of that stuff too. I suspect the more i play with it the learning curve will be very shallow indeed. All software should be this transparent, flexible and powerful all at once.
