I found an old Radio Shack Thumbs Up Video Editing panel from the 90’s sitting alone at Goodwill. I felt bad for it and took it to the shop for a tear down video and hook it up one last time to check it out.

It is amazing how far we have come in video editing. If I had to make videos using this thing, I would not have all the videos on my channel I have now 😉

From the manufacture:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Easy Home Video Editor (E.H.V.E.) is a radical new concept in home video editing. Designed for every camcorder owner who has had bad video mixed in with the good, E.H.V.E. makes video editing easy. Simply play your camcorder tapes. Press the Thumbs-Down button when you see material you’d rather forget. E.H.V.E does the rest, recording the good segments and leaving the bad scenes behind. It works with virtually all camcorders and VCR’s. And it supports advanced camcorder features like time code and Control-L, for improved speed and accuracy.

E.H.V.E. is the first low-cost, easy-to-use home video editor that really edits.

Simple Thumbs-Up/Thumbs-Down concept makes editing easy.
