There's inherent advantages that free and open source video editors have over proprietary software like Davinci Resolve. First, on the "free" version of Resolve you can't export higher resolutions than UHD 4K (3840x2160). So no DCI 4K (4096x2160). Second, free and open source can pretty much accept any file container and codec unlike Resolve because even in the paid version of Resolve it will not accept any files that are in mkv and avi containers. Third, on the Linux free version of Resolve it has the additional limitation of not excepting files encoded in H.264.

Thank you for this review. I've been debating between a few and decided to settle on Shotcut. I'm a total beginner and only need to make simple edits but it sounds like Shotcut can give me the depth I need if I feel like exploring more options but still retains an entry-level feel to it.

Thank You! Right now I am going to try Openshot and Shotcut and later Davinchi for my PC! Actually tried Icecream video editor but looking for something better with a lot of options but light for the system of my laptop

Great summary that gets to the bottom line without wasting time.

Thanks for the detailed description. Thanks!

The main advantage of Shotcut is that you don't need a powerful PC for it. It takes less than 400 MB of RAM when I load a 15-minute video in it. When Da Vinci takes more than 4 GB of RAM with the same video! So you basically can't use Da Vinchi on an 8 GB PC. I just found out about Shotcut, and I am loving it. I switched to it from Magix Movie Maker. Just 30 minutes of KZfaq videos and I got used to Shotcut editing flow.

Great video and channel man! Beetwen Shotcut and Kdenlive which has better instruments for color grading? Thx

Excellent coverage, thank you so much.

Thanks for this video! This helped me tremendously! You're awesome!

Great info. Thanks! Made my mind for Shotcut!

can you please make a video on openshot explaining how to make a credit scene like a rolling text at the end of your video?

Are you panning on doing an update over this? I saw there is a version of Olive as well, but it is super green yet

Hey Geek... Could you please do a video about how to make training video with openshot... Thanks

Edited 4k60 video made on DJI drone both on Shotcut and Resolve (similar output settings, only color grading). The result out of Shotcut was awful, all the smoothness of 60fps was gone, while Resolve managed to keep it intact. Couldn't find any explanation or similar reports on the internet. Any thoughts?

I'm very proficient in Shotcut but have been advised to check into Resolve for system performance reasons. Would my Shotcut experience carry over or would I be having to learn a completely unfamiliar editor from scratch? My main concern is the time investment needed in learning Resolve while keeping my content flowing.

LOL, I always seem to use Openshot :) - I will have a go with Shotcut, the interface and features seem a cross between Kdenlive and Openshot. Very useful

I highly recommend Shotcut for beginners is basic. Myself I used iMovie but it had limitations then Shotcut for some time. But now I edit with davinci resolve 16. Davinci resolve is of course harder to learn. But it has so much tools. And I edit more like more color grading sound effects etc...

hello I am French I am a beginner. I downloaded videopad. What do you think? I tried using davinci but it doesn't open folders. Would Shotcut be the easiest while having the most options?

I’d say I’m just getting to that intermediate level and i am ready to upgrade my software. Ive mainly been using windows movie maker and have quickly learned openshot. I would stick to openshot but i find it to be buggy and lacks certain features that are important to me (a main one; being able to see the frames of my video to make cutting easier). I’m not sure if i should use davinci next bc it’s definitely more on the advanced level and is a big software (which I’m not sure how well it’ll do on my laptop). I do want to go pro editing but at the same time I’m not sure if i should try a simpler software like shotcut first or go straight to davinci to avoid constant switching software...

0:53 The Crack OF the VOIce

For the noise reduction thing. For footage to stock footage like Shutter stock. I know Davinci is best in these options. What about Shotcut , Openshot and Kdenlive? What do you think?

Good review. I use shotcut .... Highly recommended for any level. There are many excellent tutorials on KZfaq , especially yours. Very intuitive after a little practice and when you really dig in deep, you find out how seriously advanced it really is.

Yo i love your channel already. Not even a minute in and you answered my question, what's best for someone just getting into video editing. Subbed.

Can any of them remove objects successfully like you can in Davinci and Premiere?

which editor did you use for this video?

sir i have a low end pc with 32 bit,4 gb ram and no graphics card and i am a beginner . i have openshot in my pc but when i add video in it, it is so laggy. which is suitable for my pc. 1)shortcut,2)kdenlive and 3)olive

Hi, i wanna make videos like with a little bit transitions and voice over so is it good for yt?

Thank you i didn't know about Kdenlive i'm using shotcut but want to improve the quality of my videos, actually want to switch to davinci resolve but i wonder if i can use it on a 4gb ram system You even added links to tutorials Thanks a lot

I used Shotcut but I hated how the clips became "INVALID" and I had to redo my work. I want something more reliable! I'm willing to pay for that reliability, thinking of either DaVinci Resolve or CyberLink PowerDirector.

I got to learn davinci resolve. I've used premiere and camtasia. ACDSee is very similar to camtasia. I'm thinking it's the same company that created camtasia might be the same one for acdsee. Both have very similar UI. I'll try shotcut. Premiere is nice, but since I don't use it often, I keep forgetting its features.

Thanks for the info !

is shortcuts issue of crashing solved?

Where does VSDC fit in this comparison?

Thanks, I think for now I will continue using Shotcut, maybe later I will switch to Davinci

Thank you for crisp video

Hi thanks for this vídeo. Actualy i use Kdenlive, i'm test davinci resolve, its great, but has very hight resources comsuming 😢 for examples not its good for a casual edition on a normal notebook.

Which one is generally lighter on RAM and CPU?

Just a question about how they differ regarding resources? Which is least and most sluggish on ordinary laptops as opposed to ones with high performance capabilities. This might have a bearing to new comers who have already got medium performance computers and can't afford to upgrade.

Which one is the best for editing gaming videos? Cause i always upload them unedited ^_^

I use shortcut for my videos and it's cool. I only wish it would have more effects and transitions

thank you very much!

Comparing Shotcut, Openshoot, Kdenlive with Davinci is like comparing a motorbike with a jet plane. Better compare with Olive - which kicks ass by the way ;-)

I think from simple to expert level or I think more than intermediate and nearly expert level editing of video my pick are ShotCut for Desktop PCs and CapCut for SmartPhones And for music production LMMS + Audacity on Desktop PCs

please tell shot cut or resolve good please tell me

But... What do *YOU* use? I think that should have been included.

Unfortunately the free version of Davinci doesn't support H.264 & H.265 on Linux which renders it unusable for most users on this platform. I won't waste any more time or disk space converting formats to open on Davinci. Since Kdenlive corrupted my saved project after hours of work, I guess I'll try now shotcut and hope the bugs just make it crash but not result in the inadvertent corruption of the project. Thanks for the reviews in this and other related videos.

You forgot 1 big: Blender. Since version 2.8 it is on a new level!

Does shorcut run smoothly on 8 gb ram👍??

Thank you. I have been using DaVinci Resolve 17 (the free version) and it has more features than I will ever use. It is a great program but my laptop only meets the minimum requirements to run it, so it doesn't perform as good as it could. Also Resolve is continually upgrading and soon my laptop won't be able to handle it at all. I will probably try Shotcut for my simple needs.

Shotcut is the best for my 32bit notebook computer

Nah, I tried shotcut, and it's confusing as hell. I imported 2 clips. When I dragged one clip into the timeline, it doesn't go. The only way to make it go is to drag clip from monitor window down into the timeline. Camtasia is so much easier.

Bro shotcut or openshot please..

is that true kdenlive runs terrible on windows?

open shot is easy but consumes 50% of battery

ok im just gonna use shotcut

first!

blender is also:)

I started with ShotCut but then switched to DaVinci Resolve because of how horrible the editing was on ShotCut.
