Shortcut has been a game-changer for my video editing needs! The intuitive interface makes it easy to create stunning videos quickly. I love the drag-and-drop feature, transitions, and customizable templates.

Excellent program and the learning curve is short especially if you have done video editing before. With each update the program gets better. All of this for free.
