Shotcut was originally conceived in November, 2004 by Charlie Yates,
an MLT co-founder and the original lead developer (see the original
website). The current version of Shotcut is a complete rewrite by Dan
Dennedy, another MLT co-founder and its current lead. Dan wanted to
create a new editor based on MLT and he chose to reuse the Shotcut
name since he liked it so much. He wanted to make something to
exercise the new cross-platform capabilities of MLT especially in
conjunction with the WebVfx and Movit plugins.
