About Shotcut: - Pressing the "s" key when you are on the timeline also splits clips. The "cut" tool removes a clip and copies it at the same time that way you can move a clip to somewhere in the timeline without dragging it if you want. - When you have a clip selected in the timeline, you can just press the "f" key to bring up the filters menu and it will have the cursor on the search bar already. - If you want to know what all the shortcut keys are, hit / or ? on your keyboard and it will bring up the action and shortcut menu. You can also get to it through the help menu. In the action and shortcut menu you can search keywords on how to do certain functions and even edit the shortcuts if you'd like. - There has two types of keyframes. You only saw the simple keyframes. The advanced keyframes are activated by pressing the clock icon that is to the right of every parameter that allows for keyframes in the menu for each effect. You didn't see that icon because it got cut off in your fx layout. Open up the effects panel more to the right and you will see the clock icons. The advanced keyframes function like how you would expect normal keyframes to. And there are two types of advanced keyframes depending on the parameter. One with curves and one without curves. The keyframes without curves function similarly to the ones in Kdenlive. - There are helpful notes that come up right under the player screen when you select some filters and even the advanced keyframes. For example, when you picked the size position and rotate filter right under the left side of the player there is a note that explains how to work the filter purely on the screen. Also a helpful note comes up in the same place when click the clock icon for advanced keyframes. Keep an eye out for them. - Speaking of notes, there is a notes function where you can write whatever notes you want for yourself or for someone else on a project. Just look for it in the list of icons above that is to the left of the list of layout options. It would've been best to run through some full tutorials to get at least the basics of Shotcut before doing a comparison

Also, shotcut does have the ability to make multiple keyframes on one clip. You have to press the stopwatch/clock button next to the property in the filter and you can set multiple keyframes there.

Had to either buy of find something other than Adobe (long story). I found Kdenlive and can't believe how great it is. Thanks for the tutorials!

I think Shotcut can add additional keyframes? It has the default start/end simple start/end for simple start stop filters, but you can add additional keyframes from the keyframe view timeline.

7:29 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Lower the bitrate and set it to slow or very for smallest size and best quality. These fast presets matter more for capturing footage where you need performance the most during gameplay and etc. When you're converting you're big recorded file, you want it to be small and efficient if you plan to keep the video in any storage device, including external SSDs that store all of one's videos. Also, this video did very little to convey any difference between programs. I was hoping something along the lines of, does Shotcut support SRT/ASS burning like Kdenlive does? I need to burn English subtitles into JP content like Cardcaptor Sakura and Sonic X, and make X-VCD for the Sega Saturn.

What do you look for in a video editor?

Great video with very useful information, but apart from that I really like your graphical art with all the moving parts, rectangles etc...I hope to be able to imitate these effects in the near future. Well, I am only just starting with learning how to edit, so it will take some time, and I am not stressed about it, but you really show what these programs are capable of, once you get the hang of it.
