User Reviews

  • Shotcut is the best open source non-linear video editor.
  • Gosto muito do programa porpem na atualização ele está apontando erro códico 5 e não prossegue. Desde então não consigo utilizar mais.
  • I have got to be honest, I have tried most of the big names and I think Shotcut puts them all to shame. It is an excellent piece of software and they are always improving it and gradually adding features and the price is well perfect. Actually honestly having paid for the Number one Studio and asking for a refund as it fell short of Shotcut, I would willingly pay for this brilliant piece of software.
