Shortcut has been a game-changer for my video editing needs! The intuitive interface makes it easy to create stunning videos quickly. I love the drag-and-drop feature, transitions, and customizable templates.
-
Excellent program and the learning curve is short especially if you have done video editing before. With each update the program gets better. All of this for free.

It is really a good software for beginners and/or occasional video makers like me. I have experienced no troubles installing, setting up (automatically) and finishing a project from a to z. i used a chat gpt as a personal guide and there was no flaws in work. F.E.: cutting a video in 3 is as simple as making 3 markers, then pressing "s" 3 times, then exporting 3 separate video clips from the timeline. The software (shotcut) creates a sequence of tasks in the right hand side of the screen and executes them one by another. It'sreally convenient and simple! Try this out if you are looking forward to "just cut a video" or something. It's worth waiting to install.
