Shotcut is good to start but you should move on to something more professionnal as soon as you have the chance IMO. The many problems I had are:
- Blur lagging so much I had to export the entire video to see how it looks like
- Font border gets ugly for more than 5 px
- Audio desync present in the video preview of the software but not in the export
- Impossible to move groups of clips, so you need to export parts of the video to be able to move it as one block
- Various crashes, although the recover feature is nice
Here's the result, if you are wondering:
I got a lot of inspiration from https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-make-an-indie-game-trailer... I hope it shows in my trailer! Overall shotcut can do nice things but at some point you need to switch. I'm not sure what I should switch to!
