Shotcut is a powerful application for editing videos using a variety of powerful tools as well as it provides a variety of filters and effects.

It’s also worth noting that the export routines of Shotcut are notably FASTER than Cyberlink Power Director, and the compression looks better to my eye with similar codec settings.Download Shotcut 23 free latest version offline installer for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit. For the moment, it will be my editor of choice.įor those editing 360 video, while Shotcut might not have full support, you can export equirectangular from Shotcut and use the free Spatial Media Metadata Injector tool to tell video players to view the video inside a sphere. Way to go! Still not 100% powerful like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere, but Shotcut will meet most people’s simple needs and then some.

I was surprised to see all the filters that have been added since I last used it. I can say that Shotcut has better tools for what I need right now than Power Director. I normally use CyberLink Power Director for these edits since it has built-in 360 video support… but I wasn’t overly pleased with the output.

I have used DaVinci Resolve and would probably choose that… but the free version is limited to 4K output, and I’m working with 5.7K 360 videos and don’t want to downscale them. In fact, at the moment, I prefer using it over other programs I have installed because I just need a simple timeline editor for my currently simple projects. I’m sure I could crash it if I went big… but for what I need right now it’s serving the purpose. Right now I am just doing simple projects with a video and audio track to sync, no major effects. The latest version hasn’t crashed yet for me. I can’t say which version I used some years ago to work on a small, simple project, but I got lots of crashes back then. Shotcut really has matured since I last used it a few years ago.
