Starting out

Review by Ericj on Dec 3, 2019 Version: 0.1.0 OS: Linux Ease of use: 6/10 Functionality: 9/10 Value for money: 10/10 Overall: 8/10 Report! A nice open source video editor that reminds me of Adobe's After Effects. You can capture images by taking a screenshot on your phone. Depending on the type of phone you have, capturing a screenshot may be a little different. But either way, it's super easy and convenient. Find out how to take a screenshot on your Samsung phone.

Starting out

Tux Paint starts with an empty canvas, ready to be drawn on.
