Shotcut is een opensource en crossplatform videobewerkingsprogramma voor Windows, Linux en macOS met uitgebreide mogelijkheden. Het maakt gebruik van FFmpeg en heeft daardoor ondersteuning voor de gangbaarste formaten audio en video. De bestanden worden niet geïmporteerd, maar worden in hun originele formaat bewerkt. Het kan overweg met verschillende sporen en binnen een project kan er een mix van formaten en resoluties worden gebruikt. In versie 26.4 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
