Having never heard of OpenShot before, I needed a video video editor, saw OpenShot and downloaded it, managed to cut a short clip, add extra music track, do other small adjustments and export it suitable format rather quickly. Very nice!

Most problems were related to (accidentally) clicking something and not knowing what it does, trying to revert the changes but messing up things even more instead. Once I figured out what to do and what _not_ to do, the process felt very polished and easy.

I think the problem is the same as with other software that are still being developed: you google the program name, download latest version and there are new features that haven't been added to documentation and tutorials yet. So you have bunch of settings and buttons that do something but to find out what they are and how they work, googling gets you to development mailing lists and where you get lost very quickly without answers.

Will definitely keep this installed and follow the development.

I've used the cheap AVS video editor which works really well for the price. I tried OpenShot for a small clip and had the same feelings bumbling around at first.

The UI did feel a bit slow at times, and I had other specific complaints that I don't recall now but I was happy to have an open-source video editor.
