Shotcut
About Shotcut
Shotcut is a free and open-source cross-platform video editor started by Dan Dennedy in 2011 and built on the MLT Multimedia Framework. Thanks to FFmpeg it supports a wide range of audio, video and image formats, and its native timeline editing means you can drop clips straight onto the timeline without importing or converting them first, even mixing resolutions and frame rates.
On Windows it runs on Windows 10 (build 1809 or later) and 11, with installer and portable ZIP builds for Intel/AMD and ARM CPUs. It offers multi-track compositing, color wheels, keyframes, subtitle creation and import, speech-to-text subtitles, audio scopes and filters, webcam and audio capture, and 4K/8K, 10-bit and HDR workflows.
