    I can't believe how much I learned from a 30-min video! Thanks

  3. Lori

    Great video. I am learning to edit dance videos. Is the Shotcut able to delete small sections involving maybe 1 or 2 seconds?

  4. Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I don't need a powerful video editor and Shotcut is perfect now that you have shown me how to use it.

  5. Thibault

    Thanks for the tutorial. I was surpise with the result. Also, my pc is def not powerful enough – preview lagging while scrolling through the clips. Big thanks !

  9. rene marie jones

    Another GREAT tutorial, Kevin! And this one made it easy for me to FINALLY choose an editing program to start out with as a somewhat "beginner". Thanks mucho…AGAIN!!

    I want to have music playing in the background of my video while im talking. How do you adjust the audio on only the audio track and not everything at the same time?

  11. this is a grateful video but I have a question ? can I use this video editor for YouTube ? I meant this is a making copyright

    Thanks for the tutorial. I lost my favored Movie Maker going from XP to W10 a few years ago. I know, Movie Maker was nothing special, but it worked for me and the replacement in W10 stank. Shotcut looks promising, I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

    IVE HAD TWO PROJECTS COMPLETLY ERRASED. DO WE HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING TO KEEP SHOTCUT FROM ERRASING PROJECTS BEFORE THEIR FINISHED OR IS THERE A TIME LIMIT TO MAKE A VIDEO OR… IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH VIDEO THAT CAN BE USED SUCH AS 90 MINUTE VIDEOS OR SHORT FILMS?

    LET ME KNOW ASAP ..
