Beginning with my video released on March 4 2022, I’m now using the HitFilm Free (formerly Hitfilm Express) video editor for my YouTube videos after switching from Shotcut. HitFilm Free is the free version of HitFilm and has all the features I need for creating the type of videos that I make. I use it for lyrics videos, slideshow style videos and cutout-animation style videos although it’s capable of far more than just that.
Unfortunately HitFilm and HitFilm Free are no longer under active development and no longer have a helpful forum on their web site.
