That dramatically increases the time it takes to color grade a whole video project. You also can’t apply filters onto your timeline, but rather only onto individual clips.
It’s essentially impossible to organize source clips within the software, which makes it harder to get a new project off the ground. However, Shotcut 20 does fall short in a few places that matter a lot. We especially liked the timeline builder, which is simple to use and features helpful tools like a ripple editor. The platform’s layout and general design mimics what we’d expect from a top-tier paid editor. We were impressed with how easy Shotcut is to use, considering it’s a free, open-source video editor.

This makes it surprisingly complicated to fade slowly to black, then transition to a new clip with no fade. However, you can’t control the speed of the transition using keyframes.
There are 24 different options, which is more than most creators will ever need. You can only change the style of your transition after it’s been created, using Shotcut’s Properties window. The result is that it’s somewhat difficult to control how long your transition is.
Instead of treating transitions like clips that you can drag around the timeline, Shotcut generates transitions when you drag one clip over another in an existing track. The process for adding transitions in Shotcut 20 was somewhat odd, especially if you’re coming from another video editor. It’s not a huge deal, but it does add an extra step into what should be a seamless part of your workflow. You have to manually create a new track before adding new clips. The main disappointment we had with the timeline builder is that it doesn’t enable you to create new tracks just by dragging and dropping clips from your source folder.
