minor bugfix:
for DOWNLOAD!
This is release is a small collection of and upgrades..
.
crash on start on Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.10 - may require installing qt6-wayland (broke in v23.11)..
This breaks support for Wayland on Ubuntu 23.04, which is a less important version than the other two.
The combination of Wayland and Qt 6 seems impossible to handle universally in the portable/AppImage/Snap binary bundle. If installing a Qt 6 Wayland package does not work in your distro, some options are to login using an X session instead of Wayland or try the Flatpak.
numerous audio filters missing on macOS/Intel (broke in v23.11)..
Equalizer: Parametric gt; Preset not loading (broke in v23.09)..
Slideshow Generator not padding videos on mismatching aspect ratio (broke in v23.09)..
Timeline waveform is not updated when changing Properties gt; Audio gt; Track..
#filename# and #basename# keywords in Text: Simple video filter with non-ASCII filenames on Windows..
Properties gt; View Bitrate opens too big on high DPI screen..
Properties gt; View Bitrate gt; Save image is not anti-aliased..
Properties gt; Measure Video Quality accuracy when Color range is Full..
some minor memory leaks..
Changed all NVENC hardware encoders in Export to use CQ instead of constant QP for VBR rate control..
Ugraded FFmpeg to version 6.1.
Upgraded AV1 decoder dav1d to version 1.4 and AV1 encoder libaom-av1 to version 3.8.0.

Nov 29, 2023.
.
23.11.2901 Dec 2023 03:15
minor feature:
for DOWNLOAD!
This highlight of this version is the addition of easing for keyframes: ease in, ease out, and ease in/out with different levels of acceleration and tricks like elastic and bounce. See the Easing Functions Cheat Sheet web page for an animated graphical overview of these behavior options..
Improvements.
.
Added Crop:Rectangle gt; Apply to Source button.
This button is only enabled when the aspect ratio of the source media matches your project s Video Mode because it is impossible to include the black padding that Shotcut adds to a source. This feature is the primary way to simply crop a video. You do not need to use the timeline for this. You can simply:
.
set Settings gt; Video Mode to Automatic,.
open a video file,.
add the Crop: Rectangle video filter,.
adjust the rectangle control in the player,.
click Apply to Source in the Filters panel,.
choose Yes in the dialog asking to change the Video Mode, and.
Export..
.
.
Added Opacity to GPS Text, Text: Simple, and Timer filters..
Improved performance of Timeline gt; Zoom..
Added rectangular selection to Timeline..
Added Settings gt; Timeline gt; Rectangle Select..
This is on by default, and scrubbing with the mouse on the timeline requires clicking near the play head.
When this is on, hold Shift to turn it off temporarily. When this is off, hold Shift to temporarily turn it on.
Changed the Smooth keyframe type to avoid overshoots and cusps..
This only applies to new projects made with this and future versions. Thus, the behavior of smooth keyframes made with an earlier version remains the same for compatibility reasons.
Added Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In/Out to Keyframes..
This also changes the appearance of keyframes in the timeline view of Keyframes to make it more clear where the behavior applies - between keyframes. Remember this: when thinking about in or out , for Shotcut in refers to the beginning of something - a clip, filter, or

minor feature:
This release has important plus new audio filters to remedy an old problem.. New . . crash on startup on older Windows 10 computers that do not have Direct3D 11 (broke in v23.05).. Timeline scrubbing and skimming accelerate too much (broke in v23.06).. Stabilize analysis jobs not working on a speed-adjusted timeline clip (broke in v23.05).. the visibility of the cursor in the Text: Rich filter s editor (broke in v23.05).. the up and down cursor keys not working in some numeric fields (broke in v23.05).. seeking on the new Speed: Forward Only and Speed: Forward Reverse filters.. the buttons in the Delete Filter Set confirm dialog are hidden if the name is long.. the color level of RGB and RGBA sources (e.g. images) with GPU Effects.. crash adding a GPU filter to Timeline Output by not showing GPU filters for that selection.. . Old . . shift-drag-drop from Windows Explorer to Playlist deletes the files! This is an old, and Shotcut is not deleting the files. But it accepts a move drop action for the purpose of reordering playlist items. However, doing so with a list of filenames makes Windows assume the receiving application did something appropriate with thes file and then delete them on behalf of the app just to be sure?!? Smooth move. (Another Windows file manager Directory Opus does not exhibit this bad behavior.). another very old on Windows where sound does not follow the default output device, for example plugging headphones, until you restart the app. Please note that if you are using Settings Audio Channels 6 (5.1) after the def

minor feature:
Improve text size for Notes
On Windows and macOS Qt applications use different font sizes for.
Different classes of widgets. This is even more noticeable on Windows.
With display scaling over 100 , which is common. As a result, the Notes.
Text size is rather small, which can be bothersome with any non-short.
Text length. This change makes the text size the same as what appears in.

Also, changed the tab size to use a non-deprecated method and use a.
Character that does not contract with kerning.
