Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor (avilable for Linux, Windows and MacOS). If you looking for free and opensource video editing software Shotcut is absolutely best for those who want to learn video editing by step to step. So, it may be learning curve for beginner. If you learn video editing form Shotcut then it will be useful in order to switch other advanced professional video editing applications such as Adobe premium pro, After effect, DavinchiResolve, Hitfilm, finalcut etc. Because Shotcut' UI, Process and editing techniques are similar to standard and common NLE video editing. But, if you are using other fancy video editing like Filmora to learn video editing, you can make nice fancy style video quickly but you can not really learn editing techniques because you don't know how to animation keyframe works, how to make your custom lower third and titles, how transition works and many more. So, here my suggestion, use those fancy linear video editing for quick and nice looking video quickly (e.g. vloge video etc) but if you really want to learn video editing, you can start form simple VES like Shotcut. Shotcut will make foundation for you. I'm usin Shotcut since 2015 and I learnt so many editing techniques and still learning and testing new features that Shotcut provide monthly with update. Shotcut is not fully complete and feature full VES (see Shotcut Roadmap to find missing features that Shotcut team going to add in future.

There are so many video editor software available including freeware and commercial. Each of them are different form one to another because of different rendering engine they use, user interface (UI), editing techniques, process, function and features. Shotcut has also some best features and tools and techniques. Some of them are listed below:
- Grid views and safe area overlay option in player
- Native editing: it means you don't have to import media to timeline for basic editing
- Webvfx HTML overlay support
- Audio scopes: loudness, peak meter, waveform, spectrum analyzer
- Wide media format support
- Support for 4K resolutions
It is in active development process in spite of few active contributers. Every month, new version of Shotcut is released with bug fixes, improvement, and new features added. Shotcut is not ready for professional video editing purpose. So, Shotcut can not be compare with other professional commercial and closed source video editing software such as Davinchi Resolve, Adobe premium pro, Hitfilm, final cut etc. because Shotcut is a freeware and opensource, few developer are contributing actively with little financial support form donation and ads of their website and forum. So, we don't have to expect much however comparing with Kdenlive(another great opensource and free video editor), Shotcut has some missing features. They are :
- Marker
- Proxy editing
- RGB Parade and Vector Scope video scope
- Group un-Group features
- Multiple Clip selection
- blend mode for each video in timeline
- Video effects: Rotoscroping, disort effect, flip, drop shadow, curve etc.

When I first started editing video, I could not decide on a video editor, but my friend advised me a video editor from movavi https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/make-video-slow-motion-on-iphone.html . When I downloaded it, I was surprised by the nice design and the quality of the video editor itself.
