It's an open-source video editing tool for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS users. OpenShot adds 3D animated titles, audio mixing/editing, frame accuracy, clip resizing, and desktop integration.
The different view modes are excellent as is the ability to change the thumbnail captions easily. I also like that all the captions show up at the bottom of the thumbnail instead of having to toggle.
While that discovery was disappointing, it led us to Daminion, which has proven to be anything but disappointing.
Daminion is very easy to use and run. It sports a great GUI (derived from the best photo management tools like Lightroom and Media Pro) and has a complete and powerful set of functions.
The user interface feels a bit dated to me, and at first glance (without digging into the program) it can feel a bit intimidating when it comes to how things are laid out.
The customer care service is great and responsive: It offers a remote assistance service, directly into your workstation or server.
Daminion software regularly crashes. It's easy to restart the software but it's still unpleasant.
I am excited to get the most out of this digital asset management software.
It doesn't support uploading to my Flickr although they have Export SDK and probably I'll write a small Daminion addon that helps to upload to Flickr soon.
Great use, highly recommend to someone who is not confident with advanced, expensive software.
It kept crashing on me with out warning. Kept crashing on me a lot of times.
I love the simplicity and the fact that it is open source. This is an excellent video editor when you don't need a super robust editor like Final Cut Pro.
Before finding this software I faced many problems using different video editing software. That software was more complicated and difficult to use.
Openshot is really awesome and a professional video editing software. The most important thing that it is completely free.
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).
OpenShot video editor is very easy and simple to use software. The user can select different options like adding text, images and audio visuals to their videos to make them attractive and nice.
So far I don't have much problem during using of this software, But I think it is some difficulties I felt during the making of subtitles. It was a little bit of getting more time.
Jacob I.: Hi. My name is Jacob and I am the owner and head IT of Rocky Mountain Expert Computer Service. We've used OpenShot for quite a while and I'll tell you it is one of the best programs I've ever had the privilege to bring into our company. Five out of five. So before OpenShot, we used a variety of different programs. The biggest was Final Cut Pro, which of course is the standard in the industry. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of Final Cut Pro simply is the cost. As a small to medium business, it is not very cost-effective to spend that kind of money and we were looking for something with a little more flexibility, a little more open source and OpenShot fit that to the tee. So one of the things that we were looking for in a video editing program was something similar, familiar so that it would be easy to pick up and learn and for anyone who's used another similar program called Audacity, which is basically the same thing for audio only, OpenShot filled that void simply because it was very similar to what we had been using before. So deploying the software was remarkably easy. First and foremost, it's a simple installer file that you download straight from their website. But on top of that, getting to know the software, they make it remarkably easy. They have a variety of tutorials on their website. There's a copious amount of YouTube tutorials all over the internet and if it's not able to do something that you need, chances are there's a plugin that someone has created in order to accomplish just that very thing. So one thing that you want to be aware of if you're getting OpenShot is that while it does open most of the formats from things like Adobe and things of that nature, it can't necessarily save them in those formats. So if you are needing a piece of software in your workflow that will interact with Adobe, have to say, you probably should go with Adobe. However, if you need a video editor and you're willing to learn a new system and honestly, if you're willing to learn a very robust, simple system, OpenShot is a great addition to your business that honestly, it'll catapult you much higher than using, oh God, Windows Movie Maker or anything like that. This is definitely a much more professional grade version. But it's maintained by a bunch of people who are really passionate about video editing.
