OpenShot, alternative Linux à Windows Movie Maker

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

OpenShot is a solid Linux alternative for anyone who used Windows Movie Maker for basic video stitching, trimming, and simple effects. It keeps the drag‑and‑drop workflow, offers unlimited tracks, and adds more polish with keyframe animation and a richer set of transitions. Beginners will feel comfortable thanks to its tutorial and straightforward UI, while power users can explore the extra features. It isn’t as minimal as Movie Maker, but it covers the core tasks and adds enough flexibility to grow with you.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • Export to common formats such as MP4

Ce qui change

  • No one‑click direct upload to YouTube or other services
  • Interface is slightly more complex with advanced options
  • Lacks a dedicated “quick‑export” preset for absolute beginners
  • No built‑in storyboard view like Movie Maker’s simple timeline
  • AI‑powered motion tracking and stabilization are optional extras, not core to basic editing

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Movie Maker

OpenShot cannot read the proprietary .wmv or .wmp project files that Windows Movie Maker used. It can import the raw video, audio, and image files that were part of a Movie Maker project, but you’ll need to recreate the edit manually. Exported MP4 or AVI files from Movie Maker open without issue.

Questions fréquentes

Can I open a Windows Movie Maker project file directly in OpenShot?

No, OpenShot does not support the .wmp project format. You must import the original media files and rebuild the edit.

Is OpenShot suitable for complete beginners?

Yes, the UI is designed for newcomers and includes a built‑in tutorial; the basic view hides most advanced controls.

Will OpenShot run on older Linux hardware?

It runs on most modern distributions, but performance depends on CPU and GPU; the real‑time preview can be taxing on very old machines.
