### "Delay, Movement, and Other"

January 31, 2023

1.0

Bad. Real bad.

Pros

The only positive part of my experience with this software was the fact that it was free.

Cons

I cannot simply move the clips to separate areas of the timeline without the program telling me it is "Not Responding". Coupling this with the interface issues, I found myself working on a simple project for 3+ hours before I gave in to the depths of demise that OpenShot provides.

### "A Free Video Editor Which Beginners Can Start With"

July 23, 2019

3.0

This was the first the first video editor I ever used when I started work on presentations in college. It was free so really didn't have many options to begin with. The learning curve was almost non-existent hence I really got used to OpenShot for almost till the end of college. Overtime though as I gained knowledge and shifted to better sophisticated software, I started using it less and less. Overall as a starter software for budding video editors and content creators, it is a recommended choice.

Pros

1\. A very easygoing user interface. The learning curve is not steep at all. 2. For a free tool, handles a variety of features quite well such as trimming, cutting, filters etc. 3. Is not very taxing on the system, so even a machine of decent specs can run this software.

Cons

1\. A high quality video edit can sometimes crash the software. 2. Adding too many filters also slows down the software.

### "Great Video Editing and its Free"

March 4, 2019

5.0

I was working on creating some online business videos and the software is very capable of doing that

Pros

I like the variety of effect and transitions that were provided with the software. I have used other programs in the past and they did not nowhere near as many effects and transistions.

Cons

I could not read the descriptions at the bottom of the screen, it could be placed better. I could not see the clips button to see the additional features

It's one of the best video editing software's I used because how user friendly it was.

### "After my long search for a decent open source editor I finally found the best!"

July 14, 2021

5.0

Pros

Clean and really simple UI which I believe is a really important part of a good video editing software. Excellent selection of features. Huge community and availability of large number of tutorials. Cross Platform Support allows you to add effects from other editors like Blender. Free editor means no watermarks, no expensive fees.

Cons

Apart from minor performance issues I think it is perfect for beginners. Can add more transitions.

### "Not as many features as I'd like"

September 22, 2022

3.0

Pros

I like that I can easily upload my own videos and audio files into the program and that it doesn't take up too much space on my computer.

Cons

The software is not very user-friendly and does not let me easily edit the audio or split my clips. I wish there were more filters for videos as well as transitions.

It wasn’t good. Program consistently crashed. Very minimal options.

The only pro I have for this is it’s a free option for video editing. It does do very basic video editing.

Cons

The software crashed so often it made it difficult to use.

### "Un amigable programa para editar vídeos "

February 2, 2023

4.0

Me gusto el programa, lo conoci por una sugerencia de un creador de contenido. Lo uso para hacer videos en formato shorts. Para editar vídeos que no requieran ser demasiado profesionales como lo son los mios, es un programa muy recomendado. Con un buen tutorial aprendes a sacarle el jugo a esta herramienta.

Pros

Curva de aprendizaje cortaTiene muchas herramientas disponiblesTiene varios formatos para editar

Cons

Al inicio su interfaz no es muy intuitiva

### "Free Video Editor for Simple Projects"

January 25, 2021

4.0

It worked very well and we still use it for small projects that are not complex.

Pros

Free. The software was easy to install and did not include bundleware. It is easy to use and navigate as it does not offer as many options as some of the bigger products that come with a hefty price tag. It is great to use for simple projects with basic transitions.

Cons

The software offered little support for titles and animations. We would have to make them in a separate program and then import them and make adjustments. Setting still images to transform and scale was often a challenge.

### "Excellent free video creatir"

July 3, 2021

4.0

This program is great for beginners and has multiple options for video quality and type for export. I love the program

Pros

I like that audio can be separated from video and I like that there are so many useful features that are easy to figure out.

Cons

One drawback of this program is that there is a choice between a larger view of the video or the tracks that are being edited.

Pros

It does cut editing in a simple way . Great for amateur.

Cons

It is not what I call a good editing program. The interace is badly done. Not enough important option. Only 1 video preview. I mean it might be good for amateur editing but that's it.
