What makes you think that a reusable TM exists? And if you don't create a new TM, you won't have an active translation memory.

If you attach a TM *after* you start, you will have to explicitly upload the previous segments.

Something being by design does not make it intuitive and user-friendly!

I am talking about videos from the vendor. Also, the experience of a user who is familiar with the workflow will differ.

My comments are about a particular tool, not about a contest to find the most frustrating one.
In my original post, I wanted to share my experiences here in the forum for the benefit of others. Your response, on the other hand, seems to be a defense of Memsource at any cost based on poorly constructed arguments.
