A new all-in-one editor is in development

This isn't my project but I think it deserves attention.
This app aims to handle video editing, raw image editing, simple vector graphics and animations, and obs-like handling of streams.
It's completely hardware accelerated and even though development only started 4 weeks ago, it looks really good.
It also has a nod-based ui
Here is the latest update about the app for those interested:

I'm good. Thanks.

I really recommend watching the previous videos specially the first one, he was a bit frustrated with Kdenlive and realized that a lot of stuff was already implemented in QML with hardware acceleration and someone just needed to put it together, he also realized that he could reuse stuff for a lot of types of media not just video.

So much for the Unix Philosophy.

Wonder if the akira team may be interested in contributing to the vector portions or just sharing potential pitfalls.

An app to surpass the Metal Gear.

What is a nod-based ui? Google isn't helpful, it just thinks I mean node

It's a typo, I meant node-based ui.
You can drop in video clips then connect other nodes to apply effects and combine them to a single video

I like the idea of this. One of the biggest, if not the primary advantage Adobe has is how almost the whole suite integrates.
Open an Illustrator file in Photoshop to work with it a bit then open the PSD in After Effects and combine it all in Premiere, etc.
The only thing that would concern me is everything being in a single app, but that could just be because of how everything exists in the corporate world, with separate licenses for each component.
I know KDE has a lot of the underlying tech already in things like Kdenlive, Glaximate, Krita, etc. so the ability to do all this isn't in question. I'm just curious about the decisions of a single "everything app" instead of working on making file formats from software such as Inkscape, Krita, etc. be better able to work together, like some sort of common protocol/bus they can all tie into and share?
Either way, greatly looking forward to see how this develops.

This isn't an official kde project but the developer is a former kde contributor and wants to turn it into an official kde project

Actual project is here: https://invent.kde.org/niccolove/plasma-studio
