I want to be able to edit MPEG2 files natively with an Avid- or FCP-style timeline-based approach, so that I can have the video on one track, the audio on another, and be able to edit both of them either independently or together, with full split/trim/copy/paste, and then export to a new MPEG2 file without having to re-encode. Are there any freeware or shareware apps for OS X that will do this?
I have MPEG Streamclip and QT Pro, neither of which have the degree of editing control I want. I'm currently using the MPEG Video Wizard by Womble, but it's a Windows app so I have to reboot my MBP into XP to use it, and while it's OK in a clunky non-intuitive Windows kind of way, it's not as slick as I know an OS X equivalent would be!
