Ram, thanks for checking out the tutorial, and thanks so much for your awesome comment! 🙏😁

Hands down, tNice tutorials is THE best beginner video I've watched. Others want to brag about all the sample, loops, etc they have. You keep
greetings!
Thank you Luke Skywalker McHale, The last time I used any editing tools it was tape to tape and now that I have me time I'm working on videos to show how I make Cannabis infused foods. I would have paid for this education as it was an excellent course on the use of ShotCut.
T-bone, thank you brother! Shotcut works great for video editing - especially for those how to make those "special" brownies... 😁🤙
Your hard-won experience commentary really helps! Example: "You can switch between predefined layouts -- I use Edit the most." I'm just getting into Shotcut so it helps me to focus primarily on things which I will be using a lot!
Thanks for checking out the tutorial and for the great comment! I tried to show the ropes and then cut to the chase for what works best!
I watched nearly a 100 videos for learning abt shotcut. Nd I would say this is d best video ever.. Very clearly explained . Any beginner would understand easily..
Hema - oh my goodness, that's a lot of videos! Thanks so much for checking out the tutorial, and for dropping an awesome comment - much appreciated! 🙏😁🤙
Thank you for the most comprehensive guide to shotcut
Bbern, thanks for checking out the tutorial, and dropping a great comment! 😁🙏
Excellent tutorial, Luke! Great presentation! Amazing sharing. Continued success. God bless.
Super ! I like your great video ! Nice sharing ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you galasound!
I love how easy it was to understand! the video example really helped I've seen many videos on shotcut, but yours was most in depth!
Jello - thanks for checking out the tutorial, and I appreciate your awesome comment! 😁
I agree. This video is the most in depth shotcut informative editing tutorial i've ever watched. Thanks man.
@@tigro-knight thank you brother, glad it was helpful! Appreciate you checking out the tutorial and leaving such an awesome comment! 😁🤙
Thanks better than Justin briwn
Thanks for info. This is the best and most concise shotcut tutorial so far and I've watched quite a few.
bbface44 thanks so much for this awesome compliment, and for checking out the tutorial! 😁☮
Absolutely! I'm thinking that regardless of topic, Luke is one of the best instructors on TH-cam.... While I'm retired now I can't help but think Luke's concise manner would be major benefit in a business meeting.... orderly and solid content, clearly conveyed, with the fewest possible words.
Thank you for explaining the difference between simple and advanced keyframes. I didn't even know that there were two kinds!
Thanks for checking out the video! Yes, you can do a lot of cool stuff with both types (simple and advanced) keyframes 😁
I watched few of other videos but I didn't get this much detailed and well structured tutorial. Thanks Luke for the well structured details.
Kishore Babu - awesome, thanks for checking out the tutorial and leaving this great feedabck! Appreciate you! 😁
Very informative and helpful tutorial especially for YT creators . Thank you for sharing Luke.
Hi Nora - thank you!
Luke, a thousand thank you's for putting together this excellent tutorial! I really liked the agenda break down... this tutorial simply rocks. Today I downloaded Shotcut for my first time ever, and thanks to your tutorial I was able to compose a pretty cool short video with fades and text overlays, simply awesome!
Raf - that's wonderful to hear, and thank you so much for leaving this awesome comment! 🙏 If you downloaded Shotcut and composed a video with fades and text overlays in the same day - then I think you are more talented with Shotcut than I am, as I didn't get that far on the first day! 😁
🇲🇨🌏👍🍀
OMG...Your channel is what I'm looking for Mr. Luke. It helps me to improve my editing about my cover songs.
Lemme Sing - thanks for stopping by brother! Shotcut is fully free and works great for video editing! Keep rockin!
Thanks very much! So detailed yet comprehensive 👍👍👍
Arlen - thanks for checking out the tutorial, and leaving a great comment! 😁🤙🍺
very good totorial my new friend 👍
this is very helpful. Greetings ❤from Indonesia, stay connected
Excellent job Luke!!! You’re just AMAZING... you’re the KING of Shotcut!!! I still remember how shocked I was when I watched your green screen trick in the previous video...!!! 😄💕❤️ Just wondering, is there a way to easily re-order the video/audio clips in the timelines, like how you could drag and drop the clips in the playlist? You’re a natural born educator... you’re presentations are so well organized and clear...you’re just soooo AWESOME!!! Rock on Luke!!! 😘❤️👍
And here we are and now really out teacher Luke is teaching us the perfect skills we need for shotcut!!!
Thanks Jazzy! I've been slow, but aiming to get out some new music videos too (using shotcut) 😁
@@LukeMcHale I totally know what you mean. I am slow as a turtle myself 🐢😂 but good quality takes time, so don't rush yourself 😉😉❤️
And here I am again and watch the rest of the tutorial that I missed :) I used a lot these skills here for the "otherside" video and I can really say that shotcut needs a lot of cpu and ram to work properly. My computer is regularly put of breath when I am. Done with a project, giggle. NY the way, If. I have never mentioned it, your speaking voice sound absolutely soothing and vibrant.
Pro and concise tutorial. I cannot recall to see better one about shotcut 😊 Congratulation Luke
Had been using it for a while. Didn't notice that there was an update available. Thanks
Z T D - thanks for checking out the tutorial! Yes the updates can be very helpful - they just released a 13-channel EQ, that replaces the prior 3-band EQ, etc. It's always cool to see what enhancements they've added!
@@LukeMcHale What does that enhancement do?
@@ztd2845 EQ is for sound equalizer if you are adjusting treble/bass levels on the audio. It was previously only 3-bands (low, mid, high), and now it's available in 13-bands of adjustments. Just an example of cool new things that are included as new versions are released.
This has to be the mother of all Shotcut tutorials😃. Thank you so much for this complete, concise and easy to follow introduction to this amazing software. I hope you will make more videos about Shotcut.
sensitive issues - thanks so much! I have been thinking of releasing an update, or just a new version of a full tutorial, to cover all of the enhancements that have been released in ShotCut since the time I made the video. Thanks for the encouragement to release an update
I didn't even know this software existed, thank you so much! :D
Hi Rebecca - thanks for checking out the tutorial! Shotcut is one of the top options for free video editing!
OMG THANK YOU!!! I went through hours of "beginner" guides before I could find tNice tutorials and at least make a simple soft... Only video I've
Thanks for checking out the ShotCut tutorial! 😁
Excellent tutorial!!! I am now optimistic about trying this software. Thanks.
Hi Leon - thanks so much! Shotcut works great for me. It's not fancy or polished, as it is freeware, but it has a ton of functionality (editing, filters/special effects, etc), and doesn't take very long to get up to speed. 😁
Superb and easy to understand tutorial! Thanks
minar heights - thanks so much!
I'm late but this video has TONS of value. What you shared on TH-cam most people have to pay for. Thank you again. Like and subscribed to your channel.

topic, topic, topic. Good that when the adverbs come between every topic I can put the video on pause - take a break and go for some coffee. But the explanation is splendid!
predicationst405cp - thanks for checking out the tutorial! Glad the explanations are helpful! 😁 Merci beaucoup!
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge Luke. I discovered your previous Shotcut tutorial last May, when I was looking around for info on how to get more out of some video editing software I bought. I abandoned that software and with info from your tutorial, I've been using Shotcut ever since to make phone-sized music videos of my band during (socially-distant!) lockdown - I've done about 30 now. This latest tutorial has brought me on further - I picked up some great shortcuts & will now be using keyframes! So thanks again Luke, great job, much appreciated.👍
deantree - thanks so much for checking out my new tutorial, and for the kind feedback on the last one as well! Yes, definitely check out keyframes - the example I demonstrated (pan/zoom) is not hard to do, and it makes the video look like a cameraman is filming. I showed an example with only 1 track, but if you want to add it to a project with multiple tracks, just add the size-position and keyframes on the "output" (master track) to apply it to the whole video. Thanks again for the awesome comment! 😁🎵🤙
You're the man, Luke! Great tutorials, great music talent! Rock on, brother 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much brother - as they say in the south, "appreciate you"!
Yesssss, thats what i was looking for. hanks for helping

Eric, thanks for checking out the tutorial, and leaving a great comment! 😁
Just got my new gaming pc and I had no clue how to edit videos but this video has really help me out tremendously! thank you so much!!
KING ALLISTER thanks for checking out the ShotCut tutorial video, and leaving a great comment! Gaming PC + screen record (I use OBS) + ShotCut video editing = cool gaming video! 😁🤙
@@LukeMcHale 1000% I use OBS as well! just wanted to show my appreciation! once again Thank You.
Excellent tutorial video. Clear and well thought out. Is there a drop shadow filter for text without the duplication method? My only suggestion would be to "fade out" the talking head once you've established yourself as the instructor at the beginning. Then, "fade" it back in at the end for your closing remarks. Otherwise, well done.
Hi StoneyRun - thanks for kind words on the tutorial! ShotCut does not currently have a filter like a drop shadow. So at present it seems two layers of the same sized text (you can make the lower one black, and add blur, etc.), is about the best option for this. I appreciate the feedback with your additional comments - thank you!
This is awesome, Luke!
Excellent explanation and detalied walkthrough!
Keep up the good work! 👍👌
Charly - thanks so much brother!
*Thanks for your video my friend. Wishing you and your family always happy and successful. Stay connected, my friend*
Thanks Trinh!
I wish it can let us highlight multiple clips so that we can move/rearrange clips around but besides that it's great
Hi T11 - thanks for checking out the tutorial. Yes, shotcut has a ripple toggle on/off button, but not a true ctrl + select multiple clips. I saw that the shotcut forum had a thread on this topic (that mentions the ripple button, and some workarounds) but the program doesn't have a clean option. forum.shotcut.org/t/how-to-select-multiple-clips-and-move-them/4273/2
@@LukeMcHale Sweet thanks, I'll play around with it and see what I think, I'm debating between blender and shotcut.
Thanks Luke, you know how I feel after watching this tutorials, just like stumble on a gold bar.
Ha-ha, awesome comment Melodious Relaxation - thanks so much for checking out the tutorial!
Nice tutorial Luke, I will have to download it 🎬 👌 🙏 👏👏
by far the best tutorial on shortcut. the one where I have finelly understood how to use keyframes. Great job Luke!!
paolob0208 thanks so much for checking out the tutorial and for your kind words! Keyframes confused me at first too, took me a little bit before I understood them - glad to hear the tutorial helped! 😁
Thanks Luke. This is the best video on the Shotcut and is an excellent example of the instructional/tutorial videos. Easy navigate options make it even better!

DarkElixiqR thanks for checking out the tutorial! Shotcut works great for TH-cam video editing!
I enjoyed this video specially the key frames, since I am kinda used to the other stuff GREAT JOB on this tutorial!
Best explanation by far on you tube
ern thanks so much!
That's an incredibly great free software! I've already been using the other software, but if I hadn't, I would go with it!
By the way, your tutorial is very easy to understand even for me, a Japanese! I'm not good at listening in English, so usually I don't watch tutorial videos with talking much on TH-cam, but I can understand over 80% of what you talk! That owes to your high teaching skill, I think. Thank you!
Thanks so much KPO - and I very much appreciate the kind feedback that the tutorial is understandable, for someone whose 1st language is not English! 😁
Very well made and clear explanation - thank you very much.

Thanks, helped in learning how Shotcut works

夕張ゴーゴー thanks for checking out my new tutorial! 😁
Thank you, Luke! This video is super helpful! I gave you a well deserved thumbs up.
I also need to know how to export. The only other video editor I used is Hit Film Express, and it has 2 different ways to export.
Anthony thanks so much for checking out the tutorial, and for leaving a great comment! In the video at the start of Topic 12 at 48:26 I cover how to export a video in ShotCut. If you take a look and have any questions, just let me know! 😁
@@LukeMcHale
Sweet! 🍨 Thank you, Luke.
Oh, I missed the part on exporting. I feel like Homer Simpson. D'oh! 😁 I mostly focused on the beginner topics in the first part of the video. Note to self: Focus on the whole video the first time through. 👍
Anthony - no worries my friend! In fairness to you, it was buried in a topic called "Topic 12 - Keyframes and Pan/Zoom", and it's smarter to take 1 min and ask a question than watch the length of the video for 55 min searching for 'maybe' it's in there. 😁🍺
Great tutorial! Perfect presentation style! You waste no time, every idea is compact, to the point, and easy to follow! Great video Luke, thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! I subscribed, great musical taste and talent too!

Have a great day, best!
Zuma - ha-ha, thank you and I'm happy to help out! Do you use Shotcut or a different software?
@@LukeMcHale Yes you did! I use Adobe Premiere, because I am used to it, and has a couple of powerful pro features, but, Shotcut should be more than enough for my kind of videos, in fact is the software I always recommend (free and powerful!)
Zuma records - very cool!
You deffo know your stuff Luke, quite a powerful tool clearly when know what your doing. Does Shotcut do video merging? I.e. one video on left sync'd with one video on right for example?
Hi Jonathan - thanks for checking out the tutorial! You pretty much have freedom to work with multiple clips in any way you want to. So if you want to work with 2 clips synched up left, right, you just manually line them up (dragging one clip left or right until it is in synch with the other) and you can move / resize / etc the clips however you want to!
Great performance, well done! Tremendous job!
Thanks Lewis!
Awsome explanation, very clear and interesting, all well done 👍💕 New fan here✨
