I'm against the video editor stuff. I don't think that should be in PeerTube. PeerTube was designed to be a video-hosting platform, not a video-making suite.
I think a simple video editor is only an enhancement. All it does is let you add watermarks, change start/end time and add an additional video intro. All of these really surround content protection and legal liabilities.
Seems like the feature could also save admins some overhead by swapping bandwidth for re-uploads to CPU power for transcoding. If there's ways to limit how often videos can be edited or allow admins to shut it off with a toggle that would be ideal.
First of all, it's a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I'll drink to this.
And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.
