Running the business
OpenShot is an open source video editor released under the GPL, meant for somebody who wants to cut a clip without first learning a timeline suite. It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows, and the project is funded by donations rather than by a paid tier. It carries fewer features than the heavier free editors, which is the trade you are making.
Nothing is charged. OpenShot is free software under version 3 of the GNU General Public License, funded by donations, and available for Linux, Mac and Windows as direct downloads or torrents. Daily builds and the source are published alongside the releases.
Somebody making occasional simple cuts who wants a desktop editor with nothing to sign up for. Heavier projects, effects work and long timelines belong somewhere sturdier.
Pick this over Shotcut if the simpler interface matters more than the format coverage, and pick neither if you already have DaVinci Resolve installed. The project has been going since 2008, which is worth something in free software.
