Apologies if this sounds silly but i was wondering if openshot or shotcut are good video editors especially for someone starting out on video editing for the first time, the type of videos i might plan on making is either general gaming videos or YTPs (hopefully y’all know what that is).

I have also considered kdenlive and davinci resolve aswell (i will not discuss davinci since that ain’t open source).

Out of curiosity, i was also wondering y’alls thoughts on shotcut or openshot (and probably kdenlive).

I’ll be waiting for responses, Thanks!

    My old PC seemed to only be able to handle shotcut it didn’t have everything i wanted, but it had all the basic stuff you could need.

    I think if you were going to really be getting into the weeds of video editing, you might want something better. I personally wasn’t able to find ways to speed up certain editing functionality, which took up some extra time. Certain features are still being developed and worked on.

    But at the time, I just needed a lightweight editor that my PC could handle, and it did the job well.

    I followed this tutorial, and it helped me learn the ropes.

    I’ve decided that I want to learn DaVinci at some point, but I’ve been frankly lazy in recent months and haven’t been editing as much as I would like/should lol
