A few days ago, I imported shotcut, then fixed quite a few bugs so
that it's now usable.

Now that snapshots have rolled over, it is available as a package.

shotcut is modern video editing software.

With the current medical situation, I had needs to prepare online video
courses, and having to go back to using windows or linux for that was
hateful.

There was a partial shotcut port in openbsd-wip, courtesy of bentley@,
and together with tracey@, we set out to make it work, including some mlt 
update.

After a bit of tidying by rsadowski@ and some clues by tb@, I finally got
it to fully work (to the best of my knowledge).

I do not usually post announces for whatever port here, but I think
that this is a significant improvement over the previous situation.

We now have fairly decent video editing software.

(I've tried kdenlive at about the same time, but shotcut is way more
intuitive and there are tons of tutorials on youtube, that one
is fairly good:

and that one will teach you everything you need to know for text animations:

Note: this does require a fairly hefty machine, the "on-the-fly" video editing
tends to punch machines into the ground as soone as you do any significant
compositing.
