    No mobile version, and does not have many of the features that CapCut has.

    No built in text, graphics, videos, audio, etc. It's just a video editor, not a real comp. to capcut's createable software.

    OpenShot is really nice and after the new Ui came out, it also looked really good. But I had a few issues with it on Linux. On other platforms it works fine.
