![OpenShot Video Editor - Tutorial for Beginners in 9 MINUTES! [ UPDATED ]](/img/n.gif)
Oh my god I didnt know you were the ACTUALL creator. Just wanted to say this editor is very easy to use and helped me alot.😄
me too
th
When splitting, you can't click the progress bar. You need to click the time marker and then move it, also, this pauses. So finding the spots to split feels like doing a surgery. Then I go to "export video".
I click save and it's asking me required advanced information about the start/end frames. Like wtf, can i just save the fucking video I'm asking to save.
So I put Start at 1 and End at 100.
It's been not-responding for 10 minutes.
I've installed gentoo, this program is garbage. Go get Premiere.
It's a great software system.
I saw that OpenShot was created 10 years ago .... and I was a fool for 10 years. Thanks a million, Jonathan. Your Creation is a Gold Standard in Video editing.
Wow! The creator himself! No wonder it's super helpful, straight to the point, no fluff. Very useful video. And thank you for creating Openshot and keeping it free.
Ive actually made a ton of progress on the quality of my videos just by playing around with this program without even watching any tutorials. That's how simple this is. Bravo.
Had I known just how simple it really is to trim videos I'd have been doing it much sooner than today, when I really needed to do it in Linux.
When I was doing casual video editing long ago, it was with the free software that came with new DVD burners and the process wasn't this simple. Thanks for creating and supporting this amazing program, Jonathan.
capcut better suk my bbc(big black cakez)
Thank you Jonathan for creating such a wonderful & amazing video editor. The more I am learning about the OpenShot features , the more I am loving it. Thank you once again for your valuable tutorial lesson how to trim videos in different ways.
You are so welcome!
Thank you, Jonathan for making Openshot. Also for making these easy to follow videos - you are a good teacher too. This 8 minute video was worth it since I am a beginning user and was getting frustrated using the razor tool (since that was the only obvious method). At one point I thought i need to check for a tutorial. So many better ways which will save me a lot of time
I installed this Software yesterday and was so totally overwhelmed by all its options and menus and terminology that i was quite close to despair - and then i took the time to check your videos , tried this afternoon what i remembered , knew that i was still being stupid , checked once more , and now , slowly , this old dynosaur is warming up and gaining speed
Thank you , Jonathan 🙏
Johnathan, you are amazing at explaining things! You make the confusion in my head and my overwhelmed thoughts all clear out. And all I need to do is listen well to what you say, watch your mouse, than go and create my own magic!
Oh sweet Baby Jesus, this piece of software right here is a life saver. I don't know why I didn't find it sooner when I needed some simple video fixes. Thank you for developing it.
I might as well donate on your page, so you can enjoy some cold, refreshing, wonderful craft beer on me.
Same here! I went through so many different programs before finding this
No need to blasphemy
@@PunkDogCreations That is no blasphemy it is an expression of the love of Jesus
@@georgestyer2153 1. That software has nothing to do with Jesus and 2. he clearly uses Jesus's name as a swear phrase.
@@PunkDogCreations maybe it is how you interpret the phrase.
I just discovered OpenShot, thank you thank you thank you! It is SOOOO easy and intuitive. I am 64 and not very comfortable with confusing programs with way too many pro features and buttons like the starship Enterprise. Jon you are my hero! PS-Just donated.
I'm 45 and I've NEVER ever worked with - or used in any possible way - graphics and editing. Not talented in drawing, never had to edit a video, not a single frame.
But I've found some old videocassettes with videos I wanted to keep, brought them to a guy near here and I've obtained lots of vob files. After converting them with a tool I needed to adjust split and edit them.
In literally F I V E minutes I've managed to find all the methods Jonathan explains in the video, BEFORE watching it. I watched this to learn how to save single cuts into MP4 files and other saving methods, still very new at this.
Anyway thank you. VERY powerful tool, very reliable and it really makes the job easy, actually it's TOO easy for a program of that kind, I was very surprised considered I've downloaded not one but some apps for this task and most of them were uninstalled without being able to proceed to step 2: editing after opening a file
i'm so happy you created this for free! I had been looking for a year until i eventually gave up, but a friend suggested this editor to me. i'm happy i found this
I almost gave up on this software because I was using it wrong.
Trim, cut and slice is pretty much all I want to do, so this video helped a lot :)
Thank you Jonathan.
Nicely paced tutorial, I like that you've kept to the point and given lots of different ways to do the same thing. I've just come across OpenShot and that is a really nice application, thanks!
Pretty amazing for a piece of free software. Never realized how easy it was to do these kind of videos
This is a great tool. It really makes video cut and splice etc accessible in 5 minutes flat. Sometimes video tools aim so high the entry point is unreachable. Not here. You can do it.
Whether you see this or not I want to express my appreciation for this tutorial! Most of it is intuitive but alot of this had me scratching my head! You're the shit, man! :)
Thank you Jonathan, you are the best teacher and an amazing creator. I am learning everyday as a beginner. I wish I can correct a lot of things in my past videos which got lots of views already.
You are awesome. I want you to know that OpenShot saved my University during the pandemic because all manuals and tutorials for students are being built with it. Don't know how to thank you. THANK YOU
I know it's free and I don't have a lot of money, but I just want to give you money for your genius. It took me a whole week to create a very imperfect video with VSDC. Soooooooo unnecessarily complicated even though it's supposed to be one of the easier ones.
thank you for the program and this great video series i am a 56 year old guy with my first video camera and even i can learn from this series straight forward and easy to follow
Thanks soooooooooooooooo much for creating this! I have cerebral palsy which makes it hard for me to use traditional editing software! This is soooooooooooooooo easy for me to use and a godsend!!! You da real MVP! !!
Jonathan I came to your software because i was struggling with another. Yours is a work of genius. Once I've used it more I'll contribute to help you keep it going. Thanks!
Thank you for open sourcing this video editor. God Bless you more.
Just shaved about 90% off of my frustration level. Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS SOFTWARE i legit praise people who do open source content wish i could donate
simply wanted to thank you for having this wonderful program available for free, and for your wonderful tutorial! kudos to you!
Thanks for this! I'm brand new to OpenShot and the capabilities are pretty daunting. The tutorials are soooo helpful.
On each tutorial my envy to your genius and creativity increased. Especially green dots linking animations between clips or photos is very useful. Thank you!
Very good. I learn a lot with this video. I always used the razor tool. I was a little disapointed with the lack of precision.
Thanks Jonathan a very good demo I have learn a lot of it.
A remark, with the arrow key you can move the cursor by 1/100 of a second for a accurate position in the clip.
I just started using this software tonight and have never done any video editing before in my life (though I've done some audio editing and that was invaluable in picking up on this software) and absolutely LOVE the razor tool. I get around the imprecision by placing the cursor precisely where I want and adding a marker, then using the razor to hit that spot :) It works quite nicely (for what I'm doing anyway, which is just editing a monologue type of thing) that way :)
I would absolutely love it if you added a hotkey command to switch between the razor and the compass-looking-default-thing, and a quick way to force all tracks to align with the red line without cutting off any part of them. Like "align all tracks to start here" type of thing.
More hotkeys, please!!!! :-D I live and breathe by them!
And thank you thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH for this software. You are amazing!!!!
Mr. Thomas, thank you for your hard work. Please do keep the videos coming. I am learning a lot from them.
short simple and sweet. no need too fancy thing. you really did it well Jonathan
Wow, I know that you must hear this a lot Jonathan, but you are genius. Excellent software man Thank you so much!
PS...I will be making a donation!!
You don't know that how much you made my life easier by uploading this playlist full of helpful tutorial..... Thank you so much 🥰.
This is the best tutorial I found for a beginner. I will definitely try and then come back with more feedback. Great Job Jonathan.
I love this software, thanks for creating it!
Thank you so much! What a great editing software product!
For a newbie to all the video editing, this has simplified so many things that seemed complex!
I feel empowered for real!
So grateful.
Best wishes to all especially those starting out working online and setting up new businesses. Believe in yourselves, and keep at it as there is so much help for us.
Absolutely fantastic video! Everything I needed to know, and much I wanted to know but didn't even know was possible! THANK YOU for your time and efforts!
Thanks for the comment, and happy this video helped you out! Yay!
Fantastically capable yet simple to use tool and top notch expert guidance at just the right level of detail --amazingly at no cost! You've done a great job on the tool itself and are serving many in a most helpful and generous way. Thank You, TYVM, Gratzi!!
You're a brilliant programmer, and an excellent teacher. I hope you have a patreon or some type of way for people to donate.
Thank you so much for creating this wonderful software. Some of our students have very little in life, your software makes it possible for everybody to have a chance to learn and create. Thank you.
Great tutorial and very helpful. I am just starting out on openshot and I am already amazed by its capabilities. Thank you Jonathan for this tutorial.
I tried this software on Ubuntu and i find it very easy to use and quite powerful.
I supported your software and i wish that you will receive more and more support.
Dude I'm stoked I found your software! It's fabulous. Does so much. Free! As the song goes, "Don't go changing, to try to please me."
Wow, this editor is what I've been looking for, for a Very long time! I'm an amateur video editor, professional musician. This does everything I need it to do for quick cuts and transitional ideas then hand it off to our pros. Thank you for this software.
Ok Jonathan...I'm new to this editing business and went with Openshot due to reviews and marketing of this software as one of best if not the best for beginners. Everything started out fine as was learning to overlay text etc...completed one 34min video was pretty happy with result for first time but thats is when all problems start happening. While doing my second video project i got my time line all done overlays etc but while doing this all i got was a lagging spluttering view of my video in preview box audio all over the place. So i saved it and exported it to see if video exported with no lagging etc..and it did, so i thought ok it pain but if video exports ok then i can deal with it. So now i reload saved project to finish last couple of things, this was a cut that needed to be made. So i splice/cut (was a jump cut to shorten video) kept what i needed and position it on time line. Everthing looked fine in preview but due to lagging and audio cutting in out and constant not responding errors this i could not be sure of. So i saved and exported again what i though and hope was finished video but on checking exported video i find that the cut piece of video has no audio. Everything else up untill the jump cut is fine then no audio, after cut piece is finished audio comes back in at end for my outro. I tried doing it all again and then again with same result. Am my missing a simple fix here or is your sofware not as marketed/advertised. Any help from anyone on this would be appreciated as i cannot for life of me find a fix...Cheers
I use Razor Tool more often, and use play and pause in the preview to choose the position where I want to trim it.
This is the best! I've tried several other editors which were ok for rough work, but this gives fine control; just what I needed. thanks a lot!
Thank you for being so kind and making this open-source! Good man good man
Man, do I wish I had this available 4-5+ years ago when I first started using this! I can't believe how much I'm learning, and how much time I've wasted not knowing better how to use this incredible program.
Amazing tutorial. I didn't know there are so many ways to cut or slice clips.
Hello Jonathan, thank you so much for the software and the video. You are a Great Teacher. May Allah Bless you Abundantly. Amin
Thank you so much Jonathan. Your explanations are easy to follow.
Amazing! The creator himself is helping us.
Wow. Amazing intuitive and really simple to use. Thank you Jonathan! Africa, Lesotho.

Thank you Jonathan for creating this amazing software!!
Thank you soooooo much for such an easy-to-use video editing package! With term just around the corner, I was starting to despair...!
Thank you SO much for making this and making it easy to understand.
You are the best Jonathan... Openshot is really a great tool... you are amazing...

This is fantastic - super easy to use. The tutorial is very helpful too.
Thanks SO much for openshot programme. New to laptop editing. Previously made video on phone with InShot for my channel but needed to up my game. My son uses your program for his channel & highly recommended it to me.
Hands down the best tutorial Thanks !
Well colour me impressed! You did something in OpenShot for eight minutes without it crashing six times.
I'm giving up on Openshot. It is a tool that promises but still has many problems to correct!
@@estanislaumarques4669 So what similar to use instead?
@@cintula82 I'm currently using kdenlive with no issues.
Hey god this world is amazing .it is soo....... easy I was frightened that how to make my vedio on my online classes Thank you soooooo.. much

I promise I would PAY full price for this software if would be able to afford it 🤩
Thank you. We just discovered this software and are so happy with it already!
Thanks so much for making this video explaining how to edit. I came here wanting to know how to remove a clip made by the razor tool and oddly enough, you did not demonstrate that one! It's all good, the other ways are far superior!
You've just explained every single clip, slicing operation existed our world not just in Open Shot !! Very helpful brooo so much thaaanks !!!!!
Jonathan, thank you so much for making such a great open source video editor. Bless you
Thank you sincerely. I use OpenShot for my videos and it is very simple and useful
If it was up to me, I'd smash the like button so hard it would deform its shape :D Thanks

Thank you so much Jonathan for your software and your guides.
New to openshot. EXCELLENT. Way over my expectations. Thank you Johathan SMACK!

Thank you for this. I was using the Razor tool but it’s not working so I’m glad to know there’s another way to split clips.

Not were, IS !
This video editor is the Best one out there for free
It's about time - after spending 15 frigging days, I kid you not, dealing with stupid, totally unintuitive idiotic design interfaces and watching irritating How To videos by amateurs (pretending to be experts) who do not properly instruct, skip steps, or the version being used is not the latest one, I finally found the best of them all. This is the way all video editors should be - easy to use. Well-done, Jonathan.
I do have one question. What exactly are you trying to accomplish between 2:19 and 2:35? How does it change the clip?
You made a fantastic piece of software! Thanks so much for keeping it free and all your tutorials are awesome. God bless you buddy. ❤😀
hence on here a month later. thanks for making feel normal again.
Thanks so much man! That razor tool is a hero
thanks sir, for giving us this software in free.
very sharp very easy-to-learn video editing software, and after all it is Free and open source... Sounds great... Thank you for the lesson!
Great video as usual. Very clear. I am still struggling with title's backgrounds not appearing. I will keep watching your videos. I love how organized your playlist is. Is your mind made in Ikea, Jonathan?!😂
You re the real bruh giving us this wonderful piece of free software. There is one burning question I have: Is there a way to autodrag clips after removing/clipping unwanted clippings, having to drag the different pieces together is giving me some serious RSI/carpal tunnel syndrome. Still a wonderful program for basic rough editing, Thnx!
