From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For those who don't know (including me):

Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor.

Is Shotcut any good? Why would I pick it over Kdenlive?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I think its a bit easier to use than kdenlive. I'd say it's a little bit less full featured than kdenlive

I'm not sure I agree with the other OP, I haven't used Kdenlive, but I thought it lacked OpenGL and Decklink support compared to Shotcut. Personally been very happy with Shotcut after using Premier and After Effects previously.
