As with Vegas Movie Studio, the panels are undockable, offering good interface customization-especially on multi-monitor systems. Once you open a video file and click on the timeline button, however, it starts looking more like a regular video editing application, with source clips in a panel at top left, preview window at top right, and the timeline along the bottom. Shotcut's interface, as you might expect of an open-source multimedia application, is far more bare-bones than any of the commercial video editors I've tested-at least to start with. I tested on my trusty Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC, with a 4K touch screen and running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro. It's updated with surprising regularity for an open source app, and on first run the app asks to check if you're running the latest version. For a video editor, it's a lightweight download of only 184MB. In addition, your GPU must support OpenGL 2.0 or DirectX 9 or 11. Your CPU should be 2GHz, with 4 cores for 4K video, and you need 4GB RAM for SD video, 8GB for HD video, and 16GB for 4K video. It runs on Windows 7 through Windows 10 for Apple desktops, macOS 10.8 and later is supported Linux machines need at least GLIBC 2.13. Shotcut is available for Windows (both 32- and 64-bit), Mac, and Linux. It's free, too, so you have nothing to lose by kicking the tires. Shotcut offers many standard video editing features, and after you spend a little time figuring it out, it's not that hard to use. In some cases, like the GIMP photo app, you take a huge usability hit, but video editing software Shortcut is only moderately less usable than the commercial offerings like PowerDirector and Pinnacle Studio.
