ScreenEdit is no match to Apple's QuickTime Pro.  Nonetheless, Just like QuickTime Pro, ScreenEdit lets you edit QuickTime movies by copying, cutting, pasting and trimming frames.  It also lets you re-compress QuickTime movies with such QuickTime built-in compressors as Animation, DV, H.264, MPEG-4 (Part 2). 

So what can ScreenEdit can do that QuickTime Pro cannot do?  ScreenEdit allows users to split a video clip into up to 50 segments quick and easy.  ScreenEdit gives you access to more than 120 SMPTE effects and lets you create a simple slideshow movie with an imported video clip.  Furthermore, the user can take desktop snapshots with the Mouse pointer.

Under Mac OS 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, ScreenEdit can open the following movie and image formats so that users can export them, split them or produce slideshow movies with them.

• Movie imports: 3GP, DIVX (DIVX Decoder), DV, FLC, MOV, MP4, M4V, MPG, MPEG (MPEG2 Playback), WMV (Flip4Mac required)
• Image imports: BMP, GIF, JP2, JPEG, PDF, PICT, PNG, PSD, TIFF

ScreenEdit will not decode MKV (Matroska).

What you can do with ScreenEdit Pro:

• The user can copy, cut, paste and trim frames and then save the edited movie.
• The user can insert audio clips to movies.
• The user can delete and enable/disable specific audio & video tracks.
• The user can export movies with different audio and video compressors just like QuickTime Pro.
• The user can split a single movie (.DIVX, .MPG, .M4V, .MOV, .MP4, .WMV...) into multiple segments.  Resulting movies will be formatted as MOV.
• Using imported movies, the user can create slideshow movies with up to 30 snapshots (30 still pictures + 29 images with effects), utilizing 130+ SMPTE transition effects.
• The user can take desktop snapshots with or without the Mouse pointer and send them to Preview or Mail.
• The user can change the default desktop snapshot format (BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, OpenEXR, PDF, PNG, PSD, TIFF) and also the default destination where desktop snapshots are saved.
• The user can open movies hosted at remote servers and take snapshots.
• The user can record iSight movies with different video compressors (Animation, DV, MOV, MP4...) supported.
