- free alternative to premiere pro or final cut
- cut and arrange clips on a timeline
- non-linear video editing across windows mac and linux
- open source video editor with hardware acceleration
When to choose
- you want a free open-source NLE on Linux, Windows, or macOS
- you're willing to test unstable alpha software and report bugs
- you prefer compiling from source or trying nightly builds
When to avoid
- you need a stable editor for production work
