Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Lots of excellent YouTube Shotcut tutorials (thank you to all who share). Packed with great audio and video features. Easy to use but I can't really compare as Shotcut is the only video editor I use. Constantly upgraded (and not just superficial upgrades) And of course, it is free!
  • -Shotcut is completely free to download and it doesn't have annoying paywalls or pop-ups to upgrade -Lots of different filters -Very easy to work with timelines -Different formats to export your videos in
  • Free and open source. Simple and easy even for beginners. Screen, webcam and audio capture. Cross platform - Windows, Linux and mac. Has a portable version as well.
  • Multiplatform: It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux (Snap, Flatpak and AppImage), so you can edit on any computer. Large number of export formats.
  • Shotcut is capable of handling most aspects of video-editing: video segments editing, various effects, keyframes applied to effects, text overlays, video overlays, etc. Very impressive for a freeware program.

Cons

  • As I said earlier, I can't really compare. The only thing I have noticed over time is that there's the occasional crash so best to save your work regularly. I've never lost any work and recovery is fast.
  • -Time to export a video is quite long -Not always easy or intuitive to use, there is a learning curve
  • Bugs and occasional glitches while rendering - rare crashes as well. Less encoding presets. Misses on advanced features like lossless editing.
  • The interface and video editor can take some time to accustom to. Sometimes it crashes on Linux - so you need to save the project regularly.
  • - Interface is not the best - GPU acceleration is very limited - Sluggish when the project becomes too big
