A first look at SHOTCUT, the free and open-source video editing software. I heard about Shotcut in passing but never gave it a second look. In this video I install Shotcut for the first time and run through the basic functions to see if it's any good. I was NOT disappointed! I hesitate a few times and make some beginner mistakes. This is an honest first use of Shotcut so I had no idea where stuff was!<br /><br />Watch my video to see how I create a simple video with some imported clips, a title and export it for YouTube in MP4. Shotcut is completely free and could give DaVinci Resolve and other programs a run for their money!<br /><br />Chapters/Bookmarks:<br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />01:04 Installing Shotcut<br />02:10 Running Shotcut for the first time<br />02:33 Choosing project format and resolution<br />03:03 Interface overview<br />03:30 Importing a videoclip<br />04:45 Adding clips to the timeline<br />07:48 Adding audio files to project<br />09:06 Adding filters or titles to clips in the timeline<br />13:39 Exporting the file to MP4 for YouTube from Shotcut<br />16:00 Previewing the quality of the resulting video<br />16:39 Conclusion<br /><br />Shotcut has an impressive set of features, it supports 4K video, lots of audio and video, filters and effects, and exports to most video formats you'd need.<br /><br />Download Shotcut for Free from: <br />https://shotcut.org<br /><br />Graphicious website and blog:<br />https://graphicious.co.uk<br /><br />Graphicious on Facebook:<br />https://www.facebook.com/graphiciousdesign<br /><br />#shotcut #freevideoeditor #videoediting
