Quite true- nothing to write home about!

OS: Windows 10 64-bit Ease of use: 5/10

I find this cumbersome to use and very limited.

My previous review comments stand. Contrary to the info listed here, and apparently contrary to the official changelog (which did not mention it, the last time I checked), there is a 5.1 Build 44 (circa 2024), and I just updated my licensed copy to it. In the past, I was able to obtain a later build from the company itself, but in more recent years there was no response to my request. So I obtained a "bootleg" copy from Sanet.st, then ran the installer file through UniExtract, to get the Machete.Exe. I strongly suggest that you ignore the cracked (separate) Exe file in their archive, as it drives VirusTotal bonkers ! However, if you extract the Machete.Exe from the installer MSI file, that merits scarcely a peep from the VT multi-AV scanner report. I then had to reapply my existing license, and I'm back in business with the 3-years-later update build.

And a yet-further update to my previous comments. Any points noted before still hold true. Despite the "No Longer Developed" tag shown here, a later "Build 44" was posted recently at
https://sanet.st/blogs/killdozer/machetesoft_machete_build.4794293.html
It seems to carry the same (probably false positive) virus detections. So I would follow the procedure for this update that I previously outlined: extracting the new executable with UniExtract, and trying to swap it into place -- although I will run the separated .Exe by VirusTotal first, as a precaution. Then, if it still looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, we'll continue business as usual with it.

This is a follow-up to my comments from last March. I have not yet tried this latest update in quite some time, v. 5.1. Some interim updates to the base 5.0 had to be obtained through unofficial sources, as they were not found over the past couple years on VH, or at the developer's site. My previous attempts at contacting the developer were unavailing -- don't know whether that lack of response has since improved. I happened to have a license for ver. 5. In theory, that made me eligible for any 5.x updates, such as this one. What I ended up doing was applying a tactic that has been effective in some other such situations. I used UniExtract 2 to remove the installation archive constituent files, then swapped in the new .Exe file. This appears to have been successful, and it recognized my existing license, merely incrementing the version. Because my video editing needs are usually on the modest side technically, and I prize its simplicity of use, this remains my 'Go To' choice for most of the video edits that I do. The program does have certain limitations, but it has generally been quite effective for my usage.
