Shotcut is a comprehensive open source and cross platform video editing program for Windows, Linux and macOS. It uses FFmpeg and therefore has support for the most common audio and video formats. The files are not imported, but are edited in their original format. It can handle different tracks and a mix of formats and resolutions can be used within a project. Version 21.10.31 of Shotcut has been released with the following changes and improvements:
Timeline Markers!
- Click toolbar button or press M the first time to add a marker at the playhead (current position) with no dialog.
- Markers appear in the time ruler/track/row at the top of the Timeline.
- A marker shows a tool tip with its name and time when you hover the mouse over it.
- Click a marker to seek to it.
- Click toolbar button or press M when the playhead is on the exact start time of a marker to open the Edit dialog where you can change the name, color, start, and end times.
- A color change is remembered for all new markers until changed.

- Press Ctrl+Shift+M when the playhead is on the exact start time of a marker to Delete it.
