It seems you can’t get video out of Shotcut without introducing some grievous color errors. My eye is starting to stray away from Shotcut due to the color errors I’ve documented in recent posts. So to wrap up, Shotcut is a tool like any other, know your tools and use the right one for the right job, problem solved. If you get familiar with it and invest some time learning webvfx, it becomes very powerful. Shotcut has a wonderful filter called html overlay. In practice, 99.999% are cheesy that just make your video look cheap. When I have to work with these files, then Davinci Resolve is my go to editor.ĭon’t fall into the marketing trap of “…this NLE has 1,000,004 video effects as standard…” Luckily the Omneon play out server we have is not fussy about this but you could run into problems with other servers/equipment.Īnother bug is Shotcut messing up audio playback speed when the video contains 8 or more audio tracks. It does save them correctly but messes up the flags. One example is ffmpeg not correctly flagging the clips as interlaced top field first. Instead of loading up Premier or one of the others, I’m finding myself using Shotcut more and more.ĭoes it have bugs ? absolutely, although some are because of the underlying ffmpeg. I often have to get clips ready for broadcast, adjust in and out points and sometimes even have to do some transcoding as clips arrive in the wrong codec and/or container. Media Composer - Completely over priced and the “bare bones” version lacks a lot which forces you to buy all the plug-ins at even more inflated prices. Premier - Don’t like their new licensing model and it also has plenty of bugs (yes, plenty) when it comes to subtitles and messing up black levels on certain codecs.įCP - Has an almost cult following, can’t see the attraction really, has nothing special. Now the question arises, do you really need them? In a word, no. I don’t want to get into the Adobe subscription based purchase but happy to spend money as a one-off.īeing in the broadcast industry, I can tell you that Premier, FCP and Avid’s Media Composer are by far the most prevalent. Hence the post… In a nutshell, does Vegas offer anything I can’t get from Shotcut? Consider the question within the context of someone growing into the video editing scene and wanting to explore what’s possible etc.

I’ve downloaded a trial to have a play and quite obviously discovered a sea of features I have no chance of getting to grips with before the offer ends. However… Magix seems to have a brilliant one-day deal on Vegas Pro in both standalone and suite versions. Since discovering Shotcut my wandering eye has been mostly tamed. Most often I conclude the amateur ones are quite middling insofar as they want to take over and, to boot, apply effects and stuff which is mostly quite ugly and cheap.

Having messed with many free or “included” video editors I’ve often wondered what you get from a paid for editor. I feel my faithfulness to Shotcut is being challenged…
