Shotcut is an open source video editing program that comes in handy whenever you need assistance in modifying homemade movies on your Mac. The application works with many video formats, provides you with simple to configure editing settings, and offers you the quality results you need within moments.

You can also use this utility to create slideshows with pictures from the important events in your life, like birthday parties, school competitions, family gettogethers, etc. The program allows you to import images, videos, and audio files of various formats, lets you arrange them on the timeline panel in any order you like, and provides you with multiple editing options. You can apply a wide variety of visual effects, trim the clips if necessary, and change the resolution of your movies.

This application can also be used to convert videos between many media formats. You can choose the preferred output format from a long list of extensions. An important advantage is that Shotcut preserves the quality of the input movies and doesn't take long to offer you the videos you require.

The only issue I met was that it didn't let me import subtitle files and attach them to the edited movies. According to the FAQ page from the website of the developer, support for subtitles will be available soon.

Hence, it's definitely worth installing this free, feature-rich video editing utility on your Mac. It provides you with almost any video editing option you may possibly require, preserves the quality of the input movies, and lets you choose from a wide variety of output formats.
