        Tool: Olive Description: ALPHA RELEASE (limited feature support) Olive 0.2 seeks to provide powerful and flexible node-based compositing. Node editing is a form of visual programming that gives you full control over how Olive renders your video. Rather than a "fixed" pipeline where one effect occurs after the other, nodes allow you to connect anything to anything else allowing a ton of flexibility for creating effects. You'll be able to create virtually any effect without writing a single line of code (or waiting for us to implement it for you). Additionally, these nodes can be copied and pasted into text allowing them to be shared extremely easily. Edit video with timeline editing.  Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux Download: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/download.php Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9v0rd04njc Ease of Use: Scale of 1 to 5; 1 being easiest, 5 being hardest 4 Costs: Free
