OpenShot Video Editor is a free and open-source video editor for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows.
Video editing is the manipulation and arrangement of video recordings. Video editing is used to structure and present all video information, including movies and television shows, video advertisements, and video essays. Video editing has been dramatically democratized in recent years by editing software available for PCs. Editing video can be difficult and tedious, which is why several technologies have been developed to help people with this task. Pen-based video editing software was developed to give people a more intuitive and fast way to edit video.
Although once the province of expensive machines called video editors, video editing software is now available for PCs and workstations. Video editing involves cutting segments (cropping), rearranging clips, and adding transitions and other special effects.
• Linear video editing uses video tape and is edited in a very linear fashion. Several video clips from different tapes are recorded on a single tape in the order in which they appear.
• Non-linear editing systems (NLE) allow video to be edited on computers running specialized software. This process is not destructive to the raw video footage and is performed using programs such as DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
• Offline editing is the process of copying raw footage from an original source without affecting the original film stock or videotape. Once editing is complete, the original media is reassembled in the online editing phase.
• Online editing is the process of re-merging the edit into full resolution video after an offline edit has been performed. It happens in the final phase of a video production.
• Vision mixing is used when working in live television and video production environments. A vision mixer is used to interrupt the live feed from different cameras in real time.

Like some other technologies, the cost of video editing has fallen over time. The original 2/" Quadruplex system cost so much that many television production facilities could only afford one, and assembly was a very complicated process that required special training. In contrast, virtually every home computer sold since the year 2000 has the speed and storage capacity for digitizing and editing standard definition television (SDTV). The two main retail operating systems include basic video editing software: Apple's iMovie and Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker. There are additional options, usually as more advanced commercial products. In addition to these commercial products, there are also open source video editing programs have emerged. Automatic video editing products have also emerged, making video editing accessible to a wider audience of amateurs and reducing the time it takes to edit videos.
Video editing can be used for many purposes, such as education, entertainment and documentation.
• Virtual reality: Advances are being made to aid in the editing of spherical video used in virtual reality environments. The ability to edit in virtual reality has been created so that users can view their video edits in real time, without having to constantly watch the video in a headset between edits.
• Social Media: Video editing can be used for entertainment and other purposes on YouTube and other social media sites. School teachers have used video editing to help their students retain information and extend lessons beyond the classroom.
