If you are new to OpenShot and want a Complete Beginners Tutorial, check out my new tutorial on it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLWCdpB32tbUnaM.html

anybody else just love it everytime he says "edidrr"?

It’s so cool how much open source freeware is readily available nowadays. You have Gimp for images, Audacity for audio, OpenShot for video, and LibreOffice for documents.

7:42 if anyone wants to have a short answer, the video goes into detail on what is good and bad about it.

Openshot is fine for getting started with the basics. You will reach its limitations fairly quickly if you're trying to do any serious editing. It also has bugs sometimes, like unexplainable audio anomalies and black frames appearing for no reason at all. For basic editing it's fine but special effects are clumsy and very limited. For a free program it's not terrible though. You can learn the basics for free and there are lots of how-to videos on KZfaq.

Appreciate that you have not added a random soundtrack. Thanks.

I am very much a beginner. I used to do a lot more video editing back in the XP days with Windows Movie Maker. This interface is very similar, and I was able to hit the ground running.

He just said the same thing over and over and over. TELL us WHAT is missing besides features!

Does it support MTS and MOV files perhaps ? Since my Sony Videocamera records in MTS format and my other camera records in MOV format and it`s probably one of the reasons why videos made in the Windows video editor refuses to export ( save ) to my pc.

for some reason it sometimes key frames itself. how do i get rid of that?

Thank you very much for the useful info

i have been using this for a couple weeks now, i have somehow removed all of the parts of openshot apart from the tracks, i can no longer use it coz i think i broke it, please help

sry but i need short answer, is this program good im searching for free video editing program i can't afford to buy a one and im not interested in cracked. and which is the best free program for editing?

How do you add multiple lines of text to go into a corner so that it does not obscure any of the video. With this all i can see is it adds one line only. :(

While on the internet I saw this editor, I had no idea if it was good, now I know!

So basically pros = it's for beginners cons = it's for beginners perfect for me, as i'm sure myself is going to be a much more limiting factor for me than simplicity of software lol thanks for the video, very helpful 8)

Does it have a preset size output for Instagram?

Thanks for the info

Does support all formats ?

I dual boot Windows and Linux. I wanted to do some video editing in Linux without leaving it so I checked it out. I use Premier in windows like cs5 or something. I don't usually do complex things in the sequencer, but may in blender and then have an alpha mask. So far it seems workable, but I am used to having opacity bands in Premier that controlled fade in outs. So I need to research but something tells me it does not have them

Great Video Keep up the good work =)

can it zoom in? also can you add text?

Really helpful, thank you!

i was hoping this would be good but it doesn't seem like its good for what i want to do, if you know a editing app with all of this please tell me: can hold ALOT of screenshots and make a movie with them has greenscreen thing can layer can use audio from videos(and just use the audio without the video) and easy to change the duration of a screenshot

I've been looking for an editor, that allows me to cut the video, add a narration, and then that's it. I don't want to jinx it, but it seems to work perfectly with no errors or bugs. I've tried Clipchamp that was derping at every opportunity. I tried LightWorks Free, and it gave a 720p max resolution. It just won't do for anything anymore. This is perfect.

How this video has only 33k views? This is a GREAT review!

awesome content! One question: can I also upload predesigned animation video clips generated by other animation softwares onto Openshot? since I plan on creating video content which has combinations of normal video clips along with motion animations :) thanks heaps!

Love it

dude you're Adventist! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!

The program crashes every time I try to change the speed of a clip. What could be causing this? I have the latest version of openshot and I’m using a Surface Pro 4 device running on windows 10.

I've been using PD14 that came with my new laptop that is a limmited feture program that has been good for learning but I'm having a go with Openshot and compaired with PD14 I'm finding Openshot good as its a full editor BUT. The cons I'm being challanged with include: When i bring clips in to the project the film framing when i have twenty or more clips get a bit lost with the film framing that is put around each clip meaning the clips are harder to see and blend with each other. when a clip is bought into the timeline on PD a green tick apairs that lets me know that clip is on the timeline but Openshot dose not so if i have sevral takes of the same sceen that i want to choose from it can be hard to tell which is timelined and which is not. To preview i PD i select a clip and it loads into the preview window and i hit the space bar to view it, on Openshot i have to click the clip, open the menue, select preview, click the arrow and so on making it a five step process just to see if i want to add it. I can just add it to the timeline and view it there and delete it if i don't want it but I'm finding it a bit clunky, Good but clunky. If I want to speed up the clip I get the option of 2,4,8+ rather than what i want or a slide bar to make it faster or slower. I'm going to keep using it for now to see if more use makes it easier to use but though I like Openshot it feels and looks old school to use.

im thinking to get this . I have a video but I need to edit the sound levels in it can this app do that please?

For me it lags badly if I add many effects to a clip but I think its my pc problem...

Hoping you can help me. I'm new to video editing. I am looking for a Free Video Editor (or very cheap) to edit together footage from my motorcycle rides from a GoPro knockoff, have stabilization capabilities and be able to add various music of my choosing. Nothing crazy, I'm not doing commercials, just for viewing for myself, friends and family. Easy to use would be nice. Thanks!

I downloaded OpenShot and tried to edit a video. I am brand new. I had no idea what anything was and had to watch multiple videos to try and figure out how to do what I want to do. I thought I had it essentially worked out, but when I watched the final rendered video the sound was completely out of sync! I tried to build another video today, and the same issue seemed to happen. Any help would be appreciated.

very helpful, thank you

The most frustrating thing for me is the playhead seems to be difficult to move. While dragging with the mouse, it is constantly "sticking" and forces me to move the mouse and try again several times. Although I have hardware acceleration, it's still a bit laggy and slow. That being said though, I find it's an amazing program given that it's free.

openshot is soo laggy, anyone know a potential fix?

Hi EJ Tech: Congratulations for your excellent content. I have a question for you. If I want to create a 10 minute long video in OPENSHOT, how may I set or adjust the timeline, so I can see all the minutes, and seconds, until the 10th minute, where my video will end.? Kindly appreciate your answer. Thanks. Jose.

I was lagging when editing on open shot that's was my problem with So I use shotcut and have not lag when editing

ive been using openshot for the past few months for my projects, and it really is just an editor. text is annoying to add, resize and so on. theres no crop feature so resizing videos and pictures is extremely tedious since you have to fiddle with the settings to get the right size. overall i rate it a 5/10, not good but not bad either,it does its job.

i got my PC yesterday and i am trying to find a good free video editer app. Thank You

When I use openshot and start video editing all the time hang or lag and stock like 5 to 10 minute my pc specs 4gb ram and i5 4gen processor you have any solution to solve this problem pls answer

I downloaded OpenShot and gave it a try. I've used DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere before, but I don't do enough editing to become really good at using either of these more complex programs, so I was hoping that OpenShot might be a simpler, middle-of-the-road option for me. However, forget it. It crashed on me constantly doing basic things, was very laggy and frequently hung when scrubbing thorough a FullHD clip. Program stability is the #1 thing I look at in evaluating software and if a program is not reasonably stable I don't go any further with my testing. (OpenShot 2.5.1 on Windows 10 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx, 2300 Mhz, 16 GB RAM).

Thanks for the review, after 3 minutes, I started to wonder when you will say 'basically' again :-)

the thing is idk how to upload it to yt once i have Exported it

Is it safe?

I'd love to use this, got it downloaded but am a complete noob and don't know how to actually 'open' it to actually see what you have on the screen let alone actually edit anything! lol Anyone got any tips?

Be on the look out for starting your sentences with "So".

be careful to the ads of the site pretending that their the openshot to download getting info and credit cards suddenly its not and I already charge good thing the bank txt me to stop..

Only thing i have noticed is that when you try and watch the video you have created in openshop it will lag, the best way to watch it is to extract the video and open the file up

What other video editing programs, would you like for me to review?

I have found this editor to be extremely sluggish. Trying to edit a simple video with just a few transitions, and an mp3 file and a video it was all buggy on playback. Alongside having crashed well over 20 times by the time i finished. And this was a simpler task. I would love it if it wasn't so buggy and unpolished. My specsheet well exceeds what recommended lists. Im kinda lost on how this would be fixed.

NO 4K HD ??

Thanks

hey, luv the video. Does it leave a watermark?

Powerdirector is Good but it's too expensive to use especially you need to upgrade to premium

how can you blur faces please?

i clicked on the video and i gotta filmora ad

behind the video ediderr or video eddiding, I am suggesting he is from one of the south asian countries.

I was interested by your videos, this message isn't only for you, but it goes mainly for that kind of reviews. As a beginner looking for informations, the ultra fast speed of explanations and the mouse moving as a flea that you try to catch make it almost impossible to understand.

My principal asked me to edit our videos in our school. Just installed it!

him saying 'Video Editor' so much didnt bother me until i read the comments. funny how saying the same word/s over and over can make the word completely lose its meaning and for a moment i forgot what the video i was watching was about. Just kidding though, great video man!

Is this software works in 4gb ram smoothly ????

This reminds me of Sony Vegas. It has a similar interface with the transitions, effects, project files.

Hi I’m new to video editing, Looking for a free software where I can edit my videos which one do u advice shotcut or openshot ? Also Can you do a video on how to remove background noise (like fan or ac noise ) in open shot ?

It's a lot better when you speed it up to 1.75. The repetition actually works.

Does this work offline?

What software did you use for this video

Openshot it doesn't respond after few seconds , very bad

Really good video. Could you do one for Filmora9 Wondershare please woops you have already done it. thanks. :)

Why does it crash and stutter so much, I have an 8 core with 16 gigs of ram I figured I wouldn't need a super computer to use a simple program..

My head is spinning, with non-stop, repetitious narrative, text flashing on the screen, and totally unrelated distracting editing activity goes on in the background. O good example of how not to do a review. I'm heading to some other videos to get a calm, organized presentation.

I may start with this one, seeing as I have the video editing skill of a caveman.

"video editor" was said in like every sentence

Now openshot supports hardware acceleration under linux, so the performance is even better if you're using linux. Otherwise, you will be using just your CPU.

Take a shot every time you says video editor 😳

Do a video with legend next time

Legends says hes still saying "Video Editer" (No hate tho)

As long as its as good as imovie im good

Why use one word when you can use 20 and repeat them!

video edduddrrr

is it safe

is it a virus?

right.

Thanks my dude. Make a video in blender

Take a shot every time he says "Video Editor" you'll have many bullet holes :D

2:50

open shot looks like really really old to me unlike davinci resolve i use that because it looks new, its colorful, and simple to use, and plus it looks professional but i still love this channel thank u

Try using a script

For the people that don’t have time to watch the video I’ll just sum it up it’s dogshit mid way through it will crash hours of work gone then you think you can save it nope it won’t save

openshot crashes very common so watch out.

Take a shot every time he says video editor.

Speaking of editing, your voice-over here needs serious editing. Your droning repetitive word salad sounded like a high school oral report where you are trying to make four minutes stretch into fifteen interminable minutes.

...

Bummer. You didn’t say anything about what it can and can’t do. Not very helpful.

Gibberish

Openshot on Ubuntu is garbage. It uses 450% CPU just for a basic video slicing operation & brings the OS to it's knees.

horrendous to edit videos with, bit ironic its a video editing tool, i absolutely do not recommend it to anyone, considering its out there since 2008, available in 172 languages and multiple platforms this is an extremely bad attempt of a video editing tool, I will certainly make sure not to recommend it to anyone

He just keeps dragging.. Get to the point man!
