#### Easy-to-use video editor with powerful creative tools

**From your first cut to the final export, OpenShot makes video editing
simple.** Bring video, audio, and images together for films, animations,
YouTube videos, tutorials, highlight reels, and more. OpenShot Video
Editor is open-source, with no watermarks or subscription required.

**Creative tools include:**

* Timeline editing: layer video, audio, and images with drag-and-drop
  editing, trimming, splitting, and precise frame-by-frame control.
* Titles and transitions: customizable title templates, fades, wipes, and
  image overlays.
* Animation and speed: keyframes, motion, scaling, rotation, transparency,
  slow motion, and reverse playback.
* Effects and compositing: an extensive library of video and audio
  effects, green screen (chroma key), masks, and layered visuals.
* Color grading: color wheels, curves, LUTs, and video scopes.
* Audio and recording: music and dialogue mixing, volume keyframes,
  waveforms, audio visualizations, and microphone and webcam capture.
* AI tools and effects: local AI models for object masking, plus ComfyUI
  integration for generation, enhancement, and custom workflows
  (additional models and ComfyUI setup required).
* Formats and export: combine popular video, audio, and image formats,
  then export videos for online sharing or local playback.
