Getting Started | OpenShot Video Editor Tutorial
Affordable consumer video editing software used to be a needle in a haystack, nearly impossible to find for free. However, the proliferation of smartphones combined with a flood of consumers wanting to create and edit their own videos has resulted in many more options. OpenShot Video Editor is a great choice among many.
OpenShot hits the trifecta of software triumphs. It’s free, open-source, and regularly updated. Plus, it’s available for a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Chrome OS, Mac, and Windows. We’re big fans of the open-source development community, so if you find OpenShot Video Editor meets your needs, we encourage you to support the developers.
Video editing is resource intensive, so you’ll want to install OpenShot (or other video editing software) on the most powerful computer you have available. If you have Windows, Linux, or Mac, make sure it has a 64-bit operating system.
