Awesome product + awesome support and documentation

  • September 16, 2019
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I've used OpenShot desktop app quite a few times in the past years.
I started working on video project (soon to be lunched) and got very gladly surprised when I found out about OpenShot Cloud API.

First, I liked their powerful features, then the documentation. So after that, I decided to give it a try. It was a breezy to start developing using their AMI/API. But even with a good API and good documentation, sometimes we might need a helping hand, and every time I needed help, I got a fast and 100% effective response.

Besides all these good things about OpenShot Cloud API, it feels good to support OpenShot Project.

Keep up the excellent work!

It is free.

What do you like best about the product?
I like it because it is free and you can do almost the same as with paid software. It is an excellent free option for video editing for social media. It has a wide timeline that allows you to clearly see where the elements are located, the audio can be trimmed, it has some effects both for transitions and others applicable to the videos. It is quite good and easy to use, in general terms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that bothers me is that to modify the letters I need to install another software and do it from there. It's quite annoying and I would like it to come integrated into the complete software. When the videos are long and with many elements, the software freezes and closes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create content with this software when it doesn't require many elements because if it exceeds its capacity, it crashes. It is quite useful for making short videos for social media with music and some text. In this way, it works wonderfully, and the fact that it is free adds a bonus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a basic video editing software, but if you are going to make short videos for social media, even if you are just starting to upload videos to YouTube, it is very good. Remember that it is free.

Video editor at hand

  • August 12, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is multi-platform, has no cost, different video or audio formats can be edited, it can be played frame by frame to verify the work done, digital effects can be added, as well as credits, audio, subtitles, among others.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like is that it is not fully optimized, and even though it is using high-end hardware, the graphical power and data buses are not fully utilized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is good for making edits for advertising, also for making informative videos about different products. In several projects, I have used it, as it supports various formats, which makes my work easier when the client has different types of formats for their video. Interviews can also be edited.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for basic and simple projects for better results, high-definition videos can be viewed either for review or editing.

OpenShot Video Editor is fantastic!

  • July 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is that OpenShot Video Editor is completely free and open source! For home users who are looking to make a video as a part of a presentation or for their own YouTube channel, OpenShot Video Editor fits the bill. OpenShot has a very user friendly interface and you can see all the available features within the main window, so you don't have to around looking through the menu to find one particular feature for editing the video or audio that you need. Every basic feature that one would need is presented in a simple manner to make video editing easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't come across anything I dislike. My use for OpenShot Video Editor does not go beyond adding audio clips to existing video clips, cutting audio and video clips, combining two audio clips, etc. So far, OpenShot has managed to allow me to do my work without any issues at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I personally use OpenShot Video Editor for my YouTube channel where I upload compilations of clips from my video game sessions. As someone who's used Windows Movie Maker and Sony Vegas Pro, I'm just astounded at how OpenShot has everything that I needed from Sony Vegas Pro for absolutely no cost of money!

It has now become incredibly easy and time-saving for me to make videos of my game-play with music added in the background on YouTube, which is all I can ask for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd highly recommend using OpenShot Video Editor if you're looking for a video editing software for your basic needs such as compiling videos, adding audio or music files to existing video clips, etc or longer videos for YouTube purposes. OpenShot provides everything except graphic editing that suit most, if not all, your needs.

Simple but seems to be missing some key features

  • July 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I obviously appreciate that its free. It is also simple to import videos into the program from several formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
My main issue has been that for any new video clip added, you have to manually reorganize your project to give it space. I have also not found how to mark the beginning and end of each clip which would be helpful instead of manually doing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been a great free way to edit and compile short videos into longer summaries. Its also helpful that it can take videos from multiple formats.

It is a software in constant growth.

  • July 09, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the user interface is, it is intuitive and open source. It can be downloaded directly from its website completely free. We can create all kinds of videos as it supports different formats. Various elements can be added, and it offers different types of transitions and effects. It can be integrated with Blender, Inkscape, and other software for more professional results. It is extremely lightweight, consuming little RAM compared to other video editing software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like about OpenShot is that when I add many elements, it can freeze and I have to restart to continue. It's not something that happens often, but it has happened to me a few times, so I try to save constantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Part of my job is to create visual elements for the client and their web pages, including short videos that don't take much time to create. In these cases, I choose OpenShot because it is free, doesn't require much RAM, and is compatible with any format. Since it is constantly being developed, it is software with a lot of potential, is constantly growing, and is worth learning to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a software that I recommend, as it has nothing to envy from other more well-known and paid software. It is an excellent video editor!

What do you like best about the product?
Title and Effects are the most amazing things in this tool. Since this is cross platform and very user friendly it is easy to use. Interface and the workflow are just too perfect for a video editing tool. Pretty fast and does not log unlike other video editing tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
This lags when some effects are applied. Few bugs are there in the software, other than that this is a pretty amazing tool.

Day to day processes in the company where i do presentations and demonstrations for my clients.

Free and functional

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is free open-source software. It has several transition effects, text can be animated, modified, and elements of various types can be added. I like the integration with Blender and Inkscape as it allows expanding the program's functions, improving texts, creating images, and animations of any kind.
What do you dislike about the product?
It bothers me that it requires external software like Inkscape and Blender as it increases the learning curve, because you have to learn to use all three software to make a professional video. For being free, it's very good, but paid software is much easier to use and has many more effects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create a lot of support material for the classes I teach, sometimes I have to make videos and this is the tool I use. The videos I make are basic, with text, transitions, and some simple animations, but the times I've tried to do something more elaborate, I've encountered obstacles because I need to know how to handle Inkscape and Blender very well. It's not bad, but often simplicity is better. I think for beginners like me, using the basic functions is fine. It fulfills the objective and most importantly, it's free and accessible to everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is excellent software considering that it is free and open source. If the learning curve is overcome, videos of excellent quality can be made. For beginners, it works very well since it has basic functions and they are very easy to use.
