About OpenShot Video Editor

OpenShot is a free and open-source video editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows. It is made for creating videos with effects, titles, audio tracks, animations, and common timeline editing tasks in a friendly desktop application.

It reads and writes many video, audio, and image formats through FFmpeg. Projects can use unlimited tracks and layers, clip resizing, scaling, trimming, snapping, rotation, cutting, transitions with real-time previews, compositing, overlays, watermarks, title templates, subtitles, scrolling credits, and frame-accurate navigation.

Import and export cover EDL and XML, and rendering targets many codecs and formats. Experimental hardware encoding and decoding work through VA-API, NVDEC, D3D9, D3D11, and VTB. OpenShot is GPLv3 software and runs locally on all three desktop platforms.
