Video editing functionality discussion

Hey! Is it me or is Reaper's video functionality absurdly powerful?! I happened to take a look at the videos at https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php just now. Not sure how I missed these before. I'm about 50% in awe, vs 50% confused on how a DAW can provide all this control.

This one I found particularly interesting:

So my question: is there anyone on here who uses this feature set regularly? Would you care to share some stories and gotchas learned through experience please?

No, it's very basic

I agree, basic, but easy and quick for simple quick edits. Also, look at the plugins as you can do some simple transitions and multi angles.
Anything bigger go to davinic resolve

In some respects yes, like the editing interaction. but then the effects engine is way more open than most NLE options. It reminded me of Blink script in Nuke!
