OpenShot Studios

OpenShot Studios, LLC builds and maintains OpenShot Video Editor, an open-source desktop editor that runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. The project started in 2008 as a Linux editor before spreading to the other two systems, and it is licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 or later, so anyone may change and share it. Exports carry no watermarks and projects have no limits.

What OpenShot Studios offers

• Timeline editing — unlimited tracks for video, audio, images and titles, with snapping, waveforms and frame-accurate trimming.
• Colour grading — colour wheels, curves, LUTs and scopes such as waveforms, vectorscopes and RGB parade.
• Effects and masks — chroma key, blur, lens flares and interactive masks for isolating a subject.
• Keyframe animation — position, scale, rotation, opacity, volume and effect settings animated over time.
• Recording — screen, webcam, microphone and system audio captured straight into a project.
