More and more users are getting involved in the world of video editing. For this reason, from NeoTeo we want to bring you the five open source video editors. With these platforms you can cut, copy, paste, and add different effects to your video clip. The environments also include more advanced functions such as color correction, video composition, creating a chroma key, or adding special effects, among many other features.
OpenShot
OpenShot is the best option on the list for editing video simply and with a professional finish. The environment has more than 100 transitions, effects, filters (alpha, shear, anchor, frame number, scale, gravity, waveform), adds subtitles, crops video, extracts audio, manipulates the aspect ratio and playback speed, among other tools. OpenShot is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Shotcut
Shotcut is another powerful open source video editor that has all the basic functions of an editor (cut, fade, etc.). But one of the most important features of the platform is the ability to add filters such as key spill, chroma, old film, alpha, etc. The environment supports several video import formats, including 4K videos. Shotcut is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Avidemux
If you are a user who is starting to take your first steps in video editing, we recommend you start with Avidemux. A simple environment that lets you perform basic editing tasks (crop, fade, paste, etc.) and also do more complicated jobs like adding effects, doing chroma key, etc. But one of the most popular features of the environment is Transform, with which you can manipulate the speed and frames per second, add logos to the image and frame, among other functions. Avidemux is an editor available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
VirtualDub
VirtualDub is an open source video editor that has all the basic functions of an editor. But it focuses its features on color correction and codec compression (Microsoft RLE, Intel IYUV, etc.). It has filters such as Doubler, Motion Blur, Gamma Correct, Chroma, Interpolate, Emboss, HSV Adjust, Temporal Smoother, etc. VirtualDub is an editor available for Windows.
