Ads Assessor Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Irreplaceable video editing software" June 13, 2023 5.0 Very positive experience. I recommend the use of this software to all those who want to approach the world of video editing without special foundations Pros I'm not a professional video editor, but I'm self-taught and am always dabbling with new photography and video editing software. Since I discovered OpenShot, I no longer use any other alternative software, both for the videos I have to create for work presentations and for personal purposes.I really appreciate the ease of use and the fact that you can create professional videos even if you have little experience with it, as the software is very intuitive and also offers pre-set templates, as well as automatically generates the video simply by selecting the contents you prefer. Cons I would like the choice of transitions to be inserted between the various frames and the possibility of making texts more dynamic to be implemented. Review Source BC Bintou C.

General Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's Good For Light And Home Videos" May 22, 2021 3.0 Overall it was a rather pleasant experience. Especially since it allowed me to explore the world of editing and develop my skills on a low-end computer with relative ease. I'd recommend it to everyone I know who's wanting to start. Pros I like how simple the software. Plain drag, drop and adjust. It's super lightweight and it rarely stutters on low-end PCs unless your videos are in 60 fps or something. I really like the app because it was what allowed me to edit short videos on relatively low effort and what got me aiming higher and higher until I needed more developed software to achieve the results I was looking for. I recommend this for those who want to edit home videos or even if you just want to learn the basics of editing without having to necessarily dive too deep and learn all of the advanced techniques. Cons Even though the software is rather simple it should at least have a few options here and there for basic adjustments like exposure, lights and shadows. It's a small thing but the main reason why I had to move onto other software. Review Source ISC Ibrahima Sory C.

Me gusta que admita muchos tipos de video y de audio, sus herramientas de edición son geniales, hay una gran variedad de efectos y transiciones, se pueden arrastrar los elementos y soltarlos para agregarlos al editor. Se organizan los elementos en una línea de tiempo y por capas, por lo que es muy fácil de trabajar. Cons A veces se pone pesada, sobre todo si uso muchos elementos en un mismo archivo.

I was able to do a video with some great quality. Openshot can serve where others may be too expensive and/or not available. Pros Openshot is an open-source video editor, making it completely free to use for a simple video editing project. It's pretty easy to use as well, mostly drag and drop with some infusion of inbuilt effects and transitions. Cons Openshot cannot yet comfortably compete with the industry bigwigs because it still lacks cinematic sophistications like video stabilization and unlimited motion tracking. Sometimes it shuts down abruptly when you're working with bigger files.

Then exporting to MP4 has many choices to meet my needs. Pros Drag and drop video editing for free! Love this program. It is simple to use right from first install. I have used other bundled software, and even Adobe products. OpenShot is way better and easier to use. Cons I cannot think of anything that is lacking in this product. But I am a nubie at video editing. So that I can create a video from multiple clips and add photos and title is awesome.
