Shotcut has become my preferred video editor for quick projects and content creation workflows. Its interface is intuitive, and it supports most video formats seamlessly. I particularly value that it's free and open-source, yet still offers professional features such as multi-track editing, a variety of filters, and reliable export options. For the kind of editing I need, Shotcut accomplishes everything efficiently without unnecessary complexity or costly subscriptions. I can quickly apply video actions, edit, export, and have my project ready, simple as that. There are weeks when I use it daily, but even on quieter weeks, I rely on Shotcut at least a couple of times.

Shotcut is the video editor which I work with 4K footage smoothly due to its GPU rendering support. It has an interface geared towards facilitating a very practical editing experience and a plurality of materials and step–by–step guides are also available online to help absolve most of the problems encountered during editing.

I was pleasantly surprised that Shotcut provides all of the editing features I wanted and more even though it's a free product.
