    is good compared to premiere pro. some features are missing but you can do better videos compared to other poorly designed free alternatives. it's a good software for making videos for free, it's designed much better than other free alternatives.

    Quite simple, really. Very easy to learn in my personal opinion. Lots of official tutorials for various tricks and techniques are on YouTube.

    This software is too simple for advanced use, it snaps video to the beginning of a track even if you are trying to not do that.

    Versions before 2.2 are not recommended, but the new one is stable and optimized.

    OpenShot is very user-friendly and intuitive, but can absolutely not replace a professional video editor. Too many features are missing.

    There's tons of stuff in this program. Their latest release offers video masking and they have better keyframing control than any of the others listed that I've used. It's powerful and there are lots of learning materials developed while you're learning to use it.
