what these are

A tutorial you can read, search and copy from

A video is a bad reference. You cannot skim it, you cannot search it, and you cannot copy a number out of it. Each companion page fixes that without replacing the video.

01

The video plays in place

Every chapter card carries its own player. Click a chapter and the video starts at that moment, inside the card you were reading — no scrubbing, no second tab.

02

Every setting, read off the screen

Filter names, values and units are read out of the interface frame by frame, never transcribed from speech, and listed in a reference table you can copy from.

03

The whole transcript, timestamped

Every line is there and every timestamp is clickable, so a half-remembered sentence is something you can search for rather than hunt through.

04

Fourteen languages

The translate control at the top of every page translates the prose while leaving Shotcut filter names, values and shortcuts exactly as they appear in your copy of the program.
