AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVideoPad (version 18.05 and later versions available) does not currently offer a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary version. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 emulation on Apple Silicon Macs. Since the search results show the app is still being actively maintained and updated (versions 18.17, 18.23 Beta are referenced on download sites as recent), the developer (NCH Software) may be working toward Apple Silicon support. We recommend checking the official NCH Software website periodically for a native release announcement, or contacting their support directly to inquire about Apple Silicon compatibility plans. If native support doesn't materialize soon or if Rosetta 2 performance becomes unsatisfactory for your workflow, consider professional alternatives like Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve (free version available), or iMovie, all of which offer excellent native Apple Silicon support.
