basic+video+editing+in+Shotcut

Launch Shotcut. Pull down View to show the Timeline, the Playlist and the Properties windows. Drag your video files into the Playlist window at the left. Double click a video file to play it in the top right window. Press ‘I’ on the keyboard to enter the in-point. Press ‘o’ on the keyboard to enter your out-point. Click the + sign in the Timeline window to append the in-to-out portion of your video to whatever is already there. Or, place the playhead in the timeline where you want the new shot to start and click the down arrow icon to overwrite the timeline at that point. You can add new video and audio tracks to the timeline by clicking the leftmost 3-line icon. Whichever track is highlighted is where the new clip will go. Use the magnifying glass slider in the timeline to zoom in and out for more precise editing. The split at playhead icon (beside the magnet) is also a useful editing tool. When the magnet icon is turned on, clips snap to each other (useful). When the scrub while dragging icon is turned on you can hear while you drag (useful). You can drag the beginning and end of a clip to shorten or lengthen. To make a transition, drag one clip to overlap the other. By default you get a dissolve. Select the clip and click Properties and you can change the transition. To fade out the audio on the clip: Select a clip in the timeline. Click Filters on the top menu. Click the + sign to add a filter. Click the right side (speaker) icon below the filter list to just show audio filters. Select Fade Out Audio and adjust the duration as necessary. Play across the end of the clip in the timeline to make sure it’s working. To export the finished product: Click Export at the far right of the top menu. Select YouTube from the long list at the left. And click Export File. In a Jobs window at the far right you can watch it count up to 100%
