Powered by the famous open-source multimedia framework FFmpeg and the Qt application framework, the Shotcut video editor lets you edit a wide range of video formats up to 4K resolutions and HDR, many audio formats up to 5.1 surround, as well as several popular image formats including WebP, SVG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, and others.

Some of Shotcut’s major features include frame-accurate seeking of many of the supported video formats, multi-format timeline to make it easier to mix and match resolutions and frame-rates within a project, built-in audio and video filters, audio mixing across all tracks, pitch compensation for video speed changes, deinterlacing, color correction and grading, and batch encoding with job control.
