In Shotcut I was able to create different channels for audio and video as well. That is the reason why I do not have any text at the end of the video although I wanted to add some. It adds special effects and transitions that is not available with CPU render mode, but in return it fails (crashes) on text add-ons and hides a lot of other features. Now the GPU render mode as I am writing is still experimental, but I was expecting differences in render speed only. Hopefully it was an issue only on my machine. If you try out this app on windows 10 and it works for you, please let me know in the comments. It crashed all the time, processor was used 100%, video preview was slow and sluggish. I don’t know how it is for other Windows 10 users, but on my highly capable laptop (i7, 16Gb Ram, GTX 960m) it couldn’t handle 2 minutes of videos.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to the part where I could try out the cutting feature, promised multi-layer capability and loads of video transitions and effects. I was really excited to try this app out, because it promised a lot in features. It is not about the content but rather the features I could or couldn’t use, so let’s begin. If you are on a Mac probably you got a lot more and better solutions than these two, but I am on Windows 10 and it does not support a free alternative out of the box, so I found these two to create this little YouTube video to try them out. If you are like me, who is small on YouTube or/and don’t want to spend that much money (opens in new tab) on a commercial Video Editor, there are a phew good alternatives you can try. Let me tell you my experience after a half a year of Premiere Pro experience. Namely OpenShot and Shotcut video editor.

Today I tried out two free alternative for Adobe Premiere Pro on Windows 10.
