Shotcut is a multiplatform video editor that allows you to work with a multitude of image, audio, and video formats. This program also works independently of the codecs installed on your computer, so they'll never be a problem when editing or loading videos that use different formats.

The first thing you'll notice when you open Shotcut is that it's compatible with virtually any multimedia content you have on your PC. Thanks to FFmpeg, this program supports several dozen video and audio formats. It also supports more than a dozen image formats, including JPG, PNG, and WEBP. As if all this were not enough, you can even import animations in Lottie and rawr. You can also record image and audio directly on this program with a webcam.

Shotcut has an accessible interface that will probably be familiar to anyone who has ever used a video-editing program. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see different timelines, while on the left, you'll find the basic controls; in the center and right part of the screen, on the other hand, you can see the image you're working on at that moment. Best of all, if you don't like something about the interface, you can change it however you want.

In Shotcut, you'll find tons of tools and filters for editing video and audio files. The amount of features at your disposal can be overwhelming, which is why this program's official website includes several video tutorials for users of different levels, so you can advance at your own pace. Thanks to these tutorials, you can learn how to trim and join videos, apply color correction filters, and flip images.

Shotcut is a very powerful video editor, thanks to which you can create professional-quality projects from the comfort of your desktop PC. Moreover, thanks to the possibility of customizing all the program's keyboard shortcuts, it's easy to adapt it to your needs, especially if you're already used to other video editors.
