Shotcut

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!

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.

Overall: Overall, I recommend wholeheartedly, at least for folks like me who use Shotcut to edit video blogs and tutorials. From what I can tell from other reviewers, it also meets the requirements of professionals who have tested it. To the Shotcut team, congrats and keep up the good work:

Pros: -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

Cons: -Time to export a video is quite long
-Not always easy or intuitive to use, there is a learning curve

Overall: Shotcut is a good video editing software for someone who is not a professional and needs a free video editing tool.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Bugs and occasional glitches while rendering - rare crashes as well.
Less encoding presets.
Misses on advanced features like lossless editing.

Overall: Shotcut may not be an advanced video editor with all possible features but it a free, open source, cross platform, light and fast video editor that is efficient for basic video editing.

Pros: Multiplatform: It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux (Snap, Flatpak and AppImage), so you can edit on any computer.
Large number of export formats.

Cons: 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.

Overall: Overall, Shotcut is a great tool that offers many tools to edit your videos, and I would recommend to anyone.

Pros: 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: - Interface is not the best
- GPU acceleration is very limited
- Sluggish when the project becomes too big

Overall: For the last 3 years of using Shotcut I was able to create dozens of music videos (1 to 6 mins) and short video tutorials. The program is great for non-commercial use and for relatively simple projects. It also requires knowledge of some external apps to handle audio or create static pictures/collages.

Pros: Easy to use even for beginners.
Open Source & free to use.
Large number of export formats.
Supports 4k video resolution.

Cons: Resource heavy - requires a decent hardware.
Steep Learning curve for advanced features.

Overall: Shotcut is a free to use video editor that provides an overwhelming number of features. Although its is beginner friendly to start with, it has a steep learning curve to master all its advanced features.
