Pros / Cons
- 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.

- Today you can edit a flashy video with an app with a few templates of effects and you can do it in 10 minutes and it would take you a few hours with Vegas to get a similar result.
- On the other hand, you would actually numb your fingers trying to edit a longer video on your cellphone, at the level you can do it in Vegas.
