    Finally! Someone who can explain the basics without jumping right into the advanced stuff. I wish though that someone would demonstrate how to edit a single video. Yes, I am very new to this. Thank you.

      Yep, that's what I'd like to see. Editing a simple video- trim clips, add transitions, maybe a voice over. and publish

    Having struggled for years with Corel Videostudio, slow performance, crashes and general poor useability I decided to look for a replacement of which there are many. Most were either too complicated, buggy or just did not work until I found OpenShot. Not only did it work out of the box but I created a video with fixed images, video content and music within half an hour of downloading. I could not believe how easy it was and the tutorials have helped with some of its finer abilities. Well impressed Jonathan. You can expect a cheque in the post ;-) Yes - I will be donating shortly. A very professional piece of software. Highly reccomended.

  • @poetryjones7946
    @poetryjones7946 7 місяців тому

    I’m reluctant to choose this over PowerDirector because most reviews say Openshot has too many bugs and crashes all the time.
    But your tutorials are so much better than theirs; you go nice and slow and cover small details which, asa new computer user, I find relief in. Not everyone was born knowing Nerd-Speak. So, since I can actually comprehend your instructions I’ll probably go with Openshot. Thanks man. ❤👌🏾

    Amazing tutorial .... incredible! Believe me I've watch a number of tutorials on Openshot & sooo frustrating. You to the point, the examples & details what you CAN do in Openshot is mindblowing! WoW wish I found you right at the beginning instead of wasting hours & hours & hours of my life (& hair) & still a blank slate (i'm not that thick - I used CorelDraw etc a few years ago - not like zero idea). Thank you so much, Abundant blessings, love & light. May the Universe shine on you forever!

    @iwannachopbladeslawncare Рік тому

    Wow yall made some BIG changes to this. One thing I hated about "open source" was it's pragmatics and crashes... which this app did LOT and I hated most about this app at the time was it was tedious adding transitions and stuff and now you guys have it to where you can select each one per frame that's freakin awesome!!!! I just upgraded my laptop with an SSD drive and it's 20 times faster now and not imma try this again. I have a feeling imma love this now. THANK YOU for continuing to be open source and I hope people are donating to you to keep it that way before you corporatize it and charge a stupid subscription or some crazy price.

    monitors (and have done for about 20 years now) otherwise I quickly forget what
    is behind the window I am working in) and discovering that I can drop the
    preview window or really any other function window onto another monitor just
    put a huge smile on my face. Adding to
    that the fact that the settings are remembered for the next time it’s opened
    well my face is hurting,
    , thank you for your superb effort and for putting the work into the public
    domain. I cannot thank you enough and a
    donation will be on its way as soon as finances permit as I am a pensioner and
    money has to be rationed.

    Thank you, Mr. Thomas. I am learning how to navigate the "Openshot Video Editor." I an old end-user: before the Internet the only technology I opened was a book or newspaper. Therefore, I appreciate the slower pace of your tutorials. Best wishes to you and all your "students." Let's knock 'em dead one day, figuratively speaking of course, with great videos.

    Sometimes I use Openshot to edit my videos (not that I edit very well) but I find it quite nice to use. Maybe not the most powerful and exact video editor ever, but it's good enough for me and I like that there are ready to use effects. More experienced editors might require more detailed editing software, but since I'm useless at editing, Openshot is helping me learn about video editing quite a bit :)

    I was a Master Training Specialist in the US Navy. It's not only important to show or tell how something is done, but also why? Why are you doing this or that. Explain the purpose of what you just demonstrated "Why" ties everything together and helps the student understand and remember. Better than the last five so-called beginner videos though.

    If it was a problem for me, it's a problem for someone out there too. To move the rectangles around to place them around the desktop for better work flow, go to view and select 'unfreeze', THEN you see the 'x' on the corners of each rectangle. The tutorial doesn't say that, I had to find it by testing all settings in 'view'.
