Hi @bryan0johnstone ,
I think @waylow is the best person to answer this question.
I only use Blender’s video editing along with the compositing in Blender, and find it relatively easy to use and capable of achieving my needs.
Now, I am not producing high quality animations for Netflix, but like I said it works for me.
And like any software, the more you use it the more you learn how to use it and its capabilities.
I would suggest it is well worth the effort of learning Blender’s video editor, and compositing tools. If you then feel you need more than what’s available, you can the invest in other software.
You may be surprised in what Blender can do with video editing, as many are and continue to be surprised the level of modeling which can be achieved with Blender.
Happy Blending New Year.
