Thanks for distributing Shotcut in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Shotcut and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon. If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Shotcut AppImage. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user. If you want to restrict what Shotcut can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
