You won’t see an “Import” button, though the software boasts “native timeline editing” with no import required. Shotcut can work with a wide range of video and image formats, including 4K-resolution content. Each panel can be un-docked, moved around, and re-docked or left floating, giving you nice control over how to arrange your workspace across one or more monitors.
But once you start adding more modules depending on the functions you want to use, Shotcut starts to show its depth. The free cross-platform program-available on Windows, Mac, and Linux-opens up to a clean, minimal interface, ideal for new or casual editors who want to keep things simple. It might not look overly impressive at a first glance, but Shotcut is a robust non-linear video editor with enough tools to satisfy most levels of video editing skill. I have to shut it down, hoping the project doesn't save as it's currently configured because that does me no good.Fewer audio and transition options than some other servicesĬan be difficult to learn time viewing tutorials is necessary for many users Once I do that, I try to get the video back. It virtually disappears, and it takes a stroke of luck to get the window containing my images and other videos and titles to appear as I want it. I want to be able to see all the images I plan to insert in one window, but the video playback screen goes over that. Whereas in PowerDirector, I just click on the time stamp in the right, type in the place to which I want to jump and, voila, I'm there once I hit enter.Īnother frustration I'm dealing with at this moment is how difficult the minimize functions are. So, for instance, right now I'm working on a 1 hour, 10 minute project, so if I want to jump forward or backward, I have to calculate the time in seconds (e.g., going from 1,284 seconds to 1,173 seconds) by translating that from minutes.
Now there is a place in the lefthand column (that pops up with some digging around), but it renders the time in *seconds*. But if you click on that (say to jump forward or backward), it takes you all the way back to the beginning.
It's on the lefthand side of the timeline. It's very frustrating to use when you're used to using a platform that is easy to learn and relatively intuitive.įor instance, while you can see how far into a video you are (e.g., 01:06:25).
