As a musician for many years I have performed live for many audiences. Now that I'm retired I find I don't want to travel anymore. So I decided this year to become a puppeteer and create puppet music video's of the many songs I wrote and collaborated with others by using my talents, but changing my character to a puppet. (less chance of paparazzi following me to take my pic) Have done lots of research to get a good video editor to help me produce some excellent quality videos to share with everyone. I loved your tutorial. You speak well. Plain and clear and have showed me how to produce a video using Shotcut. Used it a few times and watched other tutorials, but yours seemed to be more fluid in translation and application. I have a clearer understanding of the program. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Jesse Mendez Thanks. Glad my video helped you. Look forward to your channel. I see some musicians doing well on TH-cam. There are so many options eg you can teach music, tips for the new live musician etc. once you learn a bit of video editing.
This tutorial did actually help me, quite a bit. The ShotCut user interface is not intuitive, IMO... so this is exactly what I needed. Thank you for creating it!
David McKee Glad the video helped. A walk though helps most people when it comes to video editors. Once you use in for a few hours, it will get easier.
Software is kind of personal. I've reviewed several video editors both free and paid on my channel. I always suggest that you find one that fits you the best.
This video answered every single question I had about how to do what I wanted to do: How to create a separate audio file and move audio from one clip to this new channel; how to create clips so that I could show different parts of the two videos I wanted to combine; how to add text, and more. Fantastic! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. You walk the viewer through it to where we can understand. I'm a 71 year old disabled gal who has so much time available and would like to learn how to edit video. I can't afford to pay for the software since I am only bringing in my monthly SocSec checks I am forced to use free programs.. I'm new to this stuff but so very confused and your tutorial got me all the more interested.
This is such an amazing video. It covers video and audio syncing, transition between scenes, and the addition of texts into your video. Absolutely perfect for a beginner like myself. Thank you, James!
Excellent video. Thank you. I was never very proficient at shortcut, But I haven't used it in over a year, and I forgot some things! 🙂 I definitely learned a lot and I feel much more confident now. I'll be checking out your other videos also! You are a great teacher.!
Hi James. Nice tutorial. Tempo of video is good and sound is soothing yet i didnt fall asleep like other tutorial video. Thanks! I am motivated to try this
Thank you. One of the most informative, helpful tutorials, written or video, I have ever had the luck to view. I do simple videos. I add an intro and credits, paste together clips, add some sound. Only thing you did not cover is inserting a still image and having it play for a few seconds.
Thankx Bro. You have helped a great deal. I have just started with Shortcut. I have been on AVS Video Editor and the frequent freezing was killing my time. so I decided to switch. Cheers
Thank you very much for your time! I needed to quickly learn how to use a free editing software when I was far from my workstation, and this video was perfect for getting the job done.
Thank you for the tutorial. I hope that you have included the output because I am trying to get rid of the watermark that appears on my video after saving it. But this is also helpful.
@@JamesWoo Sorry, for any misconception. The software I used that has a watermark was different and I was trying to edit it on shotcut. If that's the case, then I'll switch. Thanks for this.
'J Woo'....thanks for this short tutorial! I Just getting into video editing, but I think that 'Shotcut' could help me "simplify" and MayBe help my daughter who like to do animation but has yet to post.
thank you for doing this helpfull video about shotcut . Iam travelling and install shotcut for editing my travel videos . Start with this software is now easier for me . Wish you happy days and healthy although

Awesome video man and is really helpful. This is the first video editor for me that was easier to understand and your video was really helpful. I’m subscribing to learn more of this awesome video editor.
Just installed Shotcut on Ubuntu yesterday ... was able to work with video and audio on the timeline easily. But I couldn‘t figure out how to cross-fade and how to create moving texts. Now that‘s clear (hope the current Ubuntu version supports that). Looking forward to my 1st edited video for YT. The resulting video quality is very fine, btw.
Excellent tutorial. Just the right length/content. Thanks a million. I'll start using it now on Ubuntu and as it's cross-platform I will be able to recommend it to Windows / Mac users :) PS. Did you create this video using Shotcut?
I'm new to Shotcut and video editing, and have a question. Why do you need layers of videos, why can't you just use one timeline and edit your whole movie there? Thank you for your great video!
Great question @Mary McAndrew It can be better to organize some assets on different tracks i.e. layers. For some effects, you have to do it on different tracks. As you edit more videos, you will eventually realize it. I made a video to explain this further th-cam.com/video/jrFzxCFBaDQ/w-d-xo.html You may also like to consider my training course to learn faster.
Hi. Thank you so very much for creating Shotcut, and creating this really wonderful tutorial. This really helps. I have used OpenShot a lot - but it has some serious problems! I can already see, Shotcut looks better and easier in many ways! So, again, thank you so much for all your effort and help. Wishing you good heath, good fortune, and very good luck!
Hi CmdrMic. Glad you found the video helpful and that Shotcut makes it easier to make videos for you. To clarify, I recorded this tutorial and also created the official training course but I didn't create the Shotcut app. :-)
555zxc_Gamez Glad you like Shotcut. I have to say that software is up to individual preference. The most important thing is the video you create and how it works with you. 😃 Thanks for leaving your comment.
This program is very impressive! There is lots to learn. I have two questions. The first is how do I make titles pages? And, how do I take a completed MP4 file and burn a video from it?
Thank you for sharing this. I am new to Shotcut so it is a little intimidating to use. I have learnt some new things from your video. I do find the add text feature odd, for example you adjust the size of text etc to get it to look right then if you use the preset to get it to move in etc, it changes back all your text so you have to re format it again. Unless of course I am missing something?
Good tutorial, thanks. Two questions please: How can I record a voice-over for the video? and How can I control the duration of time that text remains on the screen?
Just left-button mouse drag clips around within the timeline to where you like. Maybe add a new video track to make room to put clips. To cut a clip, put the cursor in the timeline to where you want, click on the clip to select it, then click the icon that looks like an open book. Suddenly, you have two clips made from the original one.
Is there a way to show which clip you imported is on your timeline? If i have a sort of big number of clips imported, it's hard to know which one has been added to timeline! Also is there a way for the audio not to play for a split second when you are moving the tracking arrow back and forward? It's a little annoying
This is wonderful, Thank you James. Let me ask you, where can I get arrows and smileys and other such things in PNG format to overlay on my videos without having to pay or give attribute etc. ?? Is there such a place. All I can find is ones that require attribution and/or payment. Any help would be great..
+VALERIE Hi VALERIE. I'm glad my video helped you. Do check out the other videos in the Shotcut playlist. If you need more help, I have a course too in using Shotcut. Link in the description. GB.
Thank you for the nice video. It is also possible to add simple or HTML text. Is it possible to use the tag also, or does Shotcut just ignore this tag(, as it is not a standardised tag)?
okay just found this, great tutorial for beginners like me, ? how do you put your self cutout in the video, or can you point to a video tut that explains that, thanks for the good work
Hi, it is nice when you add text and position it. Then why the rectangle selection tool remains? How to remove once the text positioning is over?2-12-2019

Its in the video above. For step by step instructions you may want to check out the complete training.
Thank you Mr. Woo. I learnt from you!!
I'm glad!
Thank you for sharing this. I am new to Shotcut so it is a little intimidating to use. I have learnt some new things from your video. I do find the add text feature odd, for example you adjust the size of text etc to get it to look right then if you use the preset to get it to move in etc, it changes back all your text so you have to re format it again. Unless of course I am missing something?
When you to use the preset for keyframes after setting the text box size, it resets. You can set the keyframes manually
Good tutorial, thanks. Two questions please: How can I record a voice-over for the video? and How can I control the duration of time that text remains on the screen?
+Y Fish AFAI The speed will be the actual speed your video plays at. I don't use this feature much.
I use my phone for that, any voice recording app will do and then transfer that file to your computer and open it in the program! Super easy. (:
@@sugar7185 Yes, that's one way of doing it.
More Questions: How can I change the order of the video clips and how can I cut portions of a clip in timeline?
Just left-button mouse drag clips around within the timeline to where you like. Maybe add a new video track to make room to put clips. To cut a clip, put the cursor in the timeline to where you want, click on the clip to select it, then click the icon that looks like an open book.
