Pros / Cons

- Not sure if it was the software or limitations with my PC, but even with an 4GB dedicated Nvidia graphics card, it was a little slow at times once adding layering to the 3D models.

- It offers many advanced features such as support for multiple file formats, the ability to add effects and transitions, as well as the ability to adjust playback speed and create slow motion or fast motion.
- Despite its advantages, I have found that Shotcut can sometimes lack stability and crash when processing large files or long videos.
