OpenShot Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• Two different versions?

  On openshot.org you can download version 3 free of charge. - Source: Reddit / 25 days ago

• Help (filmora is shitty)

  My video editor of choice is Kdenlive. It's modeled after Adobe Premiere (more or less), and has a bit of a learning curve. Olive is another promising option, but similarly tricky to master. Openshot is a pretty easy editor that works similarly. All of them are free and open source. Davinci Resolve is a professional-grade editor, and free, but not open source. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Updates?

  Look at the help tab, click on the about. Here you'll find the version your running, the build #, and the build date. You can then go to the openshot.org website and compare. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Upload and then Crash

  No worries u/NredTremble06. Easy mistake to make. I am glad things are working for you. Please keep an eye on the openshot.org home page as a new "production release" of the DEV version you are running now will be published (2-4 weeks time). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Want some tips to reduce crashing when splitting

  When you say the newest version I take it you mean version 2.6.1-Release-Candidate (help | about Openshot). If this is the case, please download the latest DEV Daily Build and give that a try. Go to openshot.org, click on Daily Builds, download the latest daily build available and give it a try. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Troubles with Preview

  Download the latest DEV Daily Build. Go to openshot.org, click on DOWNLOAD, from the middle of the page click on "Daily Builds". Download the latest available. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Hi, problem with CC

  OpenShot won't ask for your credit card. Did you download it from somewhere other than openshot.org? If so, you may have given your credit card info to scammers and should contact your bank/credit card provider to inquire about unauthorized charges. You may need to cancel and replace those cards. Don't wait to do this, secure the cards now. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• Hi, problem with CC

  If this is truly related to OpenShot and you've been asked for credit card then you have downloaded a version from a non-authorized site. Uninstall this version and go to openshot.org and click on Download. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• How to Edit Videos with OpenShot on Ubuntu Linux

  OpenShot is a free and open source video editor that is available for all major operating systems, including Linux. It has a simple interface that provides all basic features you'll need for basic video editing operations: slicing and mixing videos, changing video speed and audio volume, operating multiple tracks of video and audio, generating titles, exporting projects to several formats, among other things. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• I finally stopped using a cracked copy of premiere pro and switched to hitfilm express.

  I gave Hitfilm a try awhile back and it was crap. Skip it. Devinci Resolve is free and so is OpenShot. http://openshot.org. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

• Do NOT buy Microsoft's new UWP video editor, ClipChamp!

  Most people don't even need to pay for a video editor. I've been using Kdenlive instead of Premiere for years, and Openshot should be pretty familiar to folks who remember the old Movie Maker. Both are free and open source. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Video editing software, that's easy to use and set up, free or paid.

  Kdenlive and Openshot are both free. Kdenlive is fully featured, but can be a little complicated. Openshot is pretty simple, especially if you're only looking to put together basic videos. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Video Preview Problems

  When you get to step 5 go to openshot.org, click on DOWNLOAD, click on "Daily Builds" and download build #8946. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Anyone have a easy to use software that can change the volume of a video file?

  If you don't mind waiting for the video to re-encode, and choose your video settings carefully to avoid loss of visual quality, any video editor will get the job done. I generally recommend kdenlive, but Openshot might be easier to get used to for simple tasks. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• anyone know how to bleep our curse words in a video file? (ActivePresenter or other free video edit advice?)

  Take a look into OpenShot it's free and powerful. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• This is my favorite thing I've ever made👾

  Import the video clip & the exported track to any free video editing software (something like OpenShot works well and it's free). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Feedback Friday: Snapping and Improved Timeline Zooming Performance

  We have added 3 new languages to the openshot.org website: Russian, Croatian, and Korean. A big thanks to all the translators who contributed to this effort! This makes our web content and messaging more accessible to more people around the world, and I couldn't be happier! - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• Windows Firewall exception

  Nope, it's an option in the installer downloaded from openshot.org. In my opinion, even if it's used Google Analytics, there is no need for this massive firewall hole. All it's doing is connecting to the internet - not even web browsers ask for a firewall exception, let alone a video editor. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• You can use phoenix wall on high places if you aim up, there's a video down with some examples (P.S. Sorry if the filmora watermark is annoying I didn't have anything to edit with )

  You should also check out openshot.org. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• Windows Firewall exception

  It has never done this with me. If you downloaded this from anywhere but openshot.org, I would delete that installer and get a new pristine copy from the source, openshot.org. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• LPT Search for open source programs, not free programs

  For those currently looking: I was investigating Openshot as well as Shotcut. Fwiw I ended up settling on Shotcut because on my system it drew in a lot less in the way of dependencies (i.e. complexity/ballast/blot), but both seem to be pretty decent. - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
