OpenShot Video Editor is an easy to use, free, full-featured video editor for Windows, Mac, Linux (Pebble Beach, Boxelder), and Android. The free version has only been released for a short time, but already it has established itself as one of the best free video editors available. OpenShot Video Editor is based on Adobe After Effects CC, so it should be compatible with most other production applications. OpenShot Video Editor has many features including a fast and efficient video scrubber, a large collection of filters, and screen captures that you can access from the edit page. This software also includes an integrated library, so you can search for a particular effect or logo and it will automatically load in the application.
If you are new to video editing programs, you may want to start out with a free trial before purchasing a full version. OpenShot will work well with most Windows systems and works on both the Desktop and the Web. For those who do a lot of editing and would prefer to use a Windows based application, there is also an option to download the Windows version of OpenShot. However, most users report that they are very happy with the Mac and Linux versions that are available. This free, open-source video editor is perfect for beginners and professionals alike, and many people have commented that it performs well even better on Linux computers than the Windows version.
The video editor has a simple, elegant design that makes it easy to use. Like other video editors, OpenShot also allows the user to add text or apply various effects to the clips. The simplicity of the application and its simple user interface (which require no installation) make it a great choice for people who are looking for a basic yet effective video editing program.
