It's capable of loading massive files (even though it's not as adept at previewing them). In terms of performance, though, OpenShot is a lot better than most other open-source alternatives. The title creator is also not the most flexible of the bunch, but it gets the job done nonetheless. For example, the provided effects and transition effects are not what one might call eyecandy or professional-looking.

OpenShot suffers from the same aspects as most free video editors. There are also various educational videos, and an above-average User Guide provided on the app's official website, which should make the lives of new users a lot easier. In the bottom part of the GUI, you can find the Timeline function, a clip bin on the left, and a preview pane on the right. OpenShot's GUI is laid out in the same way most video editors are. Not to say that OpenShot is the easiest video editor out there, but when compared to other apps of this sort, it does alright. You can go through each frame of your video creations, you can change the speed of your clips, mix and edit audio files, as well as tweak your video's basic parameters such as brightness, gamma, hue, greyscale, and so forth.

When it comes to micro-editing, OpenShot does not disappoint, but it doesn't impress either. Furthermore, it's SVG-friendly, meaning you can include vector titles and credits. Not only that, but it's capable of creating 2D animations (image sequences), as well as 3D animated titles (with various effects). It provides various video transitions with real-time previews and it does a decent job when it comes to title and sub-title creation. It supports a plethora of video, audio, and image formats (it's based on the powerful FFMPEG library), unlimited tracks and layers, and boasts various basic editing tools such as clip resizing, scaling, trimming, snapping, rotation, and cutting. OpenShot is a Qt-based video editor that works on all three popular OSes out there: Windows, macOS, and Linux.

While OpenShot was not designed to compete with premium, professional video editors out there, it's more than adequate for anyone looking to get into video editing, as well as for those who want a decently capable app for their video creation projects. Launched in August 2003, OpenShot is to this day one of the best middle-tier, open-source video editors you can get your hands on.
