I think that Shotcut is very powerful and can ascertain the same brand recognition as the flagship brands. I told myself when I first started video editing that the moment I hit a dead-end and get frustrated enough with Shotcut due to inability to accomplish certain tasks, that’s when I bite the bullet and start using DaVinci or Premiere. Well, nearly a year later and I’m still using Shotcut. That’s why most of my tutorials are based on trying to achieve more advanced, cinematic techniques that many Premiere users do. In fact, I probably watch more Premiere videos than I do Shotcut to test myself to see if I can do it in Shotcut. That fact that I was a logo design professional and didn’t realize the “pause-looking symbol” was the actual logo, should say something. Even if that was an actual logo, anyone who isn’t familiar with Shotcut, seeing that on a thumbnail would just just think it’s merely a design element and not a logo. It’s a great-looking icon, but I think it’s too understated to be a logo. If I see a an Adobe Premiere logo or a DaVinci Resolve logo on a thumbnail, I immediately know what software it’s for. Just my 2 cents…
