SV is great when its working. I'm not a video pro, just a home amateurist, so it has been great being able to do some fairly complex editing and get a really nice result.
I do notice however, that sometimes during a final render it gets to really hitting the system hard, and then after the render, my computer gets into this impossibly slow running state, where I end up having no choice but to reboot by forced power off. Ugh!
Anyway, for now, the benefits outweigh the problems. I'll keep it. But I don't use it for everything. I do a lot with womble. It's bare-bones simple, yes, but so good at the things it's designed to do. Really clean frame-level editing. I really just use SV for the tough editing problems. It also handles a wider range of file formats than womble. Each has it strengths and weaknesses. Together they get the job done for me.
