Beutl is a free, open-source video editor and compositing application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It combines video, images, text, shapes, and audio through a layered timeline with nested compositions. Users can create motion graphics using keyframe animation, easing curves, and procedural node graphs. Its effects library includes blur, chroma key, shadows, displacement maps, and color grading tools. Advanced customization supports shaders, C# scripts, expressions, and particle effects. Audio tools provide mixing, effects processing, and waveform or spectrum visualizations. GPU-accelerated rendering supports video exports in MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM formats. An extension system adds new effects and tools, while Git integration provides project version history and restoration.
