The current version of Shotcut is a complete rewrite by Dan Dennedy, another MLT co-founder and its current lead. Dan wanted to create a new editor based on MLT and he chose to reuse the Shotcut name since he liked it so much. He wanted to make something to exercise the new cross-platform capabilities of MLT especially in conjunction with the <a href="https://github.com/mltframework/webvfx#readme">WebVfx</a> and <a href="https://movit.sesse.net/">Movit</a> plugins.</p>  <h4><br>Dan Dennedy</h4> <p>Lead Developer of Shotcut and MLT</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="cwrap"> <div class="container"> <div class="row centered"> <h3 style="margin-bottom: .5em;">Some of the Software Projects used in Shotcut</h3> <div class="hline" style="margin-bottom: 2em;"></div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3"> <img src="/assets/img/clients/client01.png" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3"> <img src="/assets/img/clients/client02.png" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3"> <img src="/assets/img/clients/client03.png" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3"> <img src="/assets/img/clients/client04.png" class="img-responsive"> </div> </div> <div class="row centered"> <p><br><a href="/credits/" class="btn btn-theme">More Info</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mtb"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8" id="ads-footer">  <script> if (location.hostname.endsWith("shotcut.org")) { document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutorg_Desktop_728_2"></div>'); document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutorg_Mobile_300_3"></div>'); } else if (location.hostname.endsWith("shotcut.com")) { document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutcom_Desktop_728_2"></div>'); document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutcom_Mobile_300_3"></div>'); } else { document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutapp_Desktop_728_2"></div>'); document.write('<div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22247219933/shotcutapp_Mobile_300_3"></div>'); } </script> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footerwrap"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6"> <h4>About</h4> <div class="hline-w"></div> <p>Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor for Windows, Mac and Linux.
