In my opnion:
Online video text editor is more easier to use when you have a steady network condition. At the same time, if your network is poor, you might cannot use its service. What's the worse, your edited video might fail to export which the network is not connecting, and you can't save or restore the edited effects.
What's more, online tools always only provide the limited functions for free, and when you're going to make further editing, they always need to pay it monthly or you need to find another tools. Troublesome and wasteful, right?
