Most importantly, it's FREE, SIMPLE, easy to use, and makes editing faster. > > **Cons**: Some elements and features need improvement. > > OpenShot is both a SIMPLE and POWERFUL video editing software with the ability to produce great videos. OpenShot can make dazzling recordings, movies, and activities with a simple to-utilize interface and a rich arrangement of highlights. It can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems. ----- ### "OpenShot Hits The Target" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *31 December 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite aspect about OpenShot Video Editor is it's simplicity of use. I am the Tech Advisor at our church but also the volunteer editor of the weekly services. I am using OpenShot in hopes that one day another parishioner will step up and assist. I don't think it will be difficult to train them on this Editor program once they use it once or twice. > > **Cons**: Perhaps it's my machine but I wish that it would render / export the video quicker. I've gotten the process down to where I do other things during this period (about 3 hours / hour of video), but for the price you can't go wrong. > > We're able to provide a Sunday morning service to our shut-ins parishioners or those who couldn't make the service in person. Since we started a few years ago, this has been a great method of outreach. ----- ### "So frustrating" — 2.0/5 > **Brian** | *3 October 2020* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free, and if I was starting from scratch and using this and learning along the way, I would probably love it ... because I wouldn't know any better. I got it because right now my budget doesn't allow for anything better, and it's the closest to what I use at work, PowerDirector, which I love. > > **Cons**: It's very frustrating to use when you're used to using a platform that is easy to learn and relatively intuitive. For instance, while you can see how far into a video you are (e.g., 01:06:25). It's on the lefthand side of the timeline. But if you click on that (say to jump forward or backward), it takes you all the way back to the beginning. Now there is a place in the lefthand column (that pops up with some digging around), but it renders the time in \*seconds\*. So, for instance, right now I'm working on a 1 hour, 10 minute project, so if I want to jump forward or backward, I have to calculate the time in seconds (e.g., going from 1,284 seconds to 1,173 seconds) by translating that from minutes. Whereas in PowerDirector, I just click on the time stamp in the right, type in the place to which I want to jump and, voila, I'm there once I hit enter. Another frustration I'm dealing with at this moment is how difficult the minimize functions are. I want to be able to see all the images I plan to insert in one window, but the video playback screen goes over that. So I minimize the video window. It virtually disappears, and it takes a stroke of luck to get the window containing my images and other videos and titles to appear as I want it. Once I do that, I try to get the video back. I have to shut it down, hoping the project doesn't save as it's currently configured because that does me no good. This is too much wasted time when you're editing a 1 hour, 10 minute video\! > > If I had the money to afford PowerDirector on my own, I'd buy it. I don't, so I'm stuck with this clunker. I assure you this is not an ad for PD. I 'm sure there are many better programs out there. But OpenShoot just frustrates me to no end, and PD is my only other frame of reference. ----- ### "Software for editing videos" — 5.0/5 > **Ismaël** | *19 December 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and simple above all effective (transitions, animations, interfaces, etc.) > > **Cons**: Except that the video sometimes loses sound on my pc, everything is perfect > > Very good video editing tool to recommend for all editors ----- ### "the video editating software" — 5.0/5 > **Meale** | *22 December 2022* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Openshot Video Editor is a very good software . it is generally used to edit videos > > **Cons**: some editating tools are not really easy and must be explained to new users > > a strong software for videos ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2047424/openshot-video-editor?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2047424/openshot-video-editor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
