content: What's a good, free video editing software? After a bit of testing, I found Shotcut to be pretty good. The main fault I found with it is that, if you delete a video from the timeline, it won't let you delete the file. You have to close the program so that it releases the file from use and then you can delete the file. Maybe there was a way to release the file while keeping the program open, but I never found a way to do it. Another peeve is that when you try to zoom in on the timeline, it doesn't zoom in on where the market is at, so you have to to scroll to the part of the timeline you want to edit, which can be unnecessarily time consuming if you have to zoom in very closely. Anyway, I  just needed some software for minor editing. More than what's included with my OS, but less than what you can get from something like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier and that you'd have to pay for. Some problems I experienced with others include: having troubles encoding the video, freezing when editing a video, lack of features. Is Shotcut the best or are there better (free) video editors out there?
