About Shotcut

Shotcut is a free, open-source video editor for Windows, Mac and Linux. It supports hundreds of audio and video formats directly, so you can edit most files without converting them first.

It offers a multi-track timeline, a wide range of video and audio filters, transitions, colour correction, keyframes and 4K editing and export. There is no watermark and no paid version – everything is free.

Shotcut is lighter than DaVinci Resolve and runs well on most computers, although its interface is less polished than paid editors such as Filmora.
