Shotcut is a non-linear video editor with wide format support, a customizable interface, and support for a variety of connections and devices. It is codec-independent so it does not rely on system codecs. It encodes/transcodes to a wide variety of formats via FFmpeg. It also supports streaming from any video file or capture source.
Shotcut is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac and Linux.
Shotcut is natively portable with some additional command line parameters, but if that is not your thing, check out Shotcut Portable.

Alternatively, right click 'shotcut.exe' in its folder, drag a little and release; choose "Create shortcuts here"; right click the newly created shortcut and select "Properties"; paste the line below at the end of the "Target" field without overwriting its content; launch by double clicking the shortcut (you'll have to repeat this every time you move the folder, though)...
--appdata .\Profile

@fossiscool: You can type in command prompt, or create a batch file with that command inside it.

I don't understand what the section "How to extract" means by "Launch using shotcut.exe --appdata .\Profile so all settings are written to the local Profile folder". Do I type this in command prompt? Can I make it a two click process instead (like a shortcut)?
