Works fine. Crashes often and has low performance on Windows, but is fine in Linux.
Worked perfectly to make a few quick cuts to a video for a presentation. Easy to figure out and had what I needed done in under an hour.
Looks like it has great potential, but kept crashing in my Quad-Core Windows 10 machine.
On my PC (Windows 10 Pro, core i7 4770k, 16 GB) with the latest OpenShot (2.5.1), a simple click on "Préférences" in the menu, just after starting the software and closing immediately the box of tutorial leads to a crash... Worst than Avidemux!

Simple, intuitive, easy-to-use solution for video editing.
Very intuitive GUI (no joke, I liked it)... and the preview doesn't work on version 2.6.1, and you can't get much of older versions. This extremely critical bug is almost 6 months now. So... you decide. Yeah, this was on windows
Unlike alot of other reviewers, I've had almost entirely good luck with this program. From my experience, it's quite stable, and the UI is cohesive enough without feeling overwhelming or confusing. It's largely a matter of discovering "ohh, so that's what this does" as opposed to "how do I do {X}??" The main flaw I've encountered with it, is the exported product seems to always have an audio glitch, where there is a split-second of noise at the very beginning of each rendered video. Also, the lack of customiseable text overlays forces me to make-do with what few presets are available. Unless I'm just not looking deep enough.
Other than that, all in all, it's suitable for what I use it for. It's great for beginner novices like me who mostly only do minimalist projects.
It's horrible in Windows. I don't understand why so many likes...? Maybe it works with light files and if you expect a lot from this application. Lack of configuration options and errors configuring windows paths, temporary folfer can't be set....
It's just a pain in the butt. I even tried exporting my work to a file that final cut could read, but it wouldn't accept the file!
