Thank you very much. You are right Blender is worth a review and I have a video on Blender on the howtopam Youtube channel.
I do like Blender for big video projects, but honestly for all of my Youtube videos I have favored the use of Shotcut above all others. Yes howtopam videos are produced and edited with Shotcut. Though Shorcut has high memory usage and can crash with too many segments in a 1 hour video I have found a way to alli-eviate that crashing for the most part. On Linux operating systems when Shotcut throws a “memory too low” message I dump the first level cache memory to give Shotcut a few extra MB of ram and click the “ignore” message button. this is the Linux terminal command to dump the first level cache memory.
sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
This command must be ran as administrator or with root privileges.
Thank you once again for your suggestions.
