@**northstar: **Not sure what exactly you’d like to see stripped from a “sequencer engine for movie makers” anyways. It would still need (or benefit from) the majority of systems (render pipeline, visual scripting system, material editor, animation suite, particle editor, sound engine etc. etc). And then to what benefit? Just for a smaller on-disk size?
The 6.5GB would be the download size btw. (presumably - I haven’t checked), it’s 20+ GB after installation. Fortunately though, modern hard drives do have quite a bit more space than the 20MB of ye olde days, don’t they? ;p) (And yes, I do remember those times, too - I don’t miss the 90s that much though).
On the other hand, Epic chose the “specialized version” approach already with the “Studio” Edition to some degree, so you are not entirely off here (even though it adds features, not the other way around).
