Shotcut

Shotcut is a free, open-source, cross-platform video editor with a strong focus on supporting a wide array of video and audio formats natively-it doesn't require importing media, which saves time. It features a flexible interface, advanced audio filters, and 4K editing capabilities. Its interface can feel less polished than commercial alternatives. It ranks as a decent, capable tool for users who need a truly free (no paid tier) editor with professional-ish features and format support, ideal for hobbyists, educators, and those who value open-source software and privacy.
