What Does OPEN Mean?

For the purposes of this guide, ‘open’ should be used in two senses: referring not only to how some of the software listed are themselves open-source, but also in the sense of opening up video creation to new people. For open-source software is ‘open’ in the sense that it allows for greater transparency and for tools to be developed through a kind of community-driven collaboration with people’s interests and specific needs at the heart of their evolution. Also, the term is used here, I hope, to express a sense of opening up new possibilities for people who have ideas they want to try out as beginners, by opening up avenues to people creating software that can bring something new into the world.
