First look at Free Video Editing Software ShotCut

A first look at SHOTCUT, the free and open-source video editing software. I heard about Shotcut in passing but never gave it a second look. In this video I install Shotcut for the first time and run through the basic functions to see if it's any good. I was NOT disappointed! I hesitate a few times and make some beginner mistakes. This is an honest first use of Shotcut so I had no idea where stuff was!

Watch my video to see how I create a simple video with some imported clips, a title and export it for YouTube in MP4. Shotcut is completely free and could give DaVinci Resolve and other programs a run for their money!
