Recent Releases
24.10.2928 Nov 2024 06:45
minor bugfix:
Removed the Export Video Resample button. Now, there are simply ignorable inline warnings when making certain changes.
Added Subtitles menu Speech to Text:
- This uses AI, but we did not make it. It uses a C++ port of OpenAI Whisper called whisper.cpp.
- Expect there to be occasional errors. Like humans and non-ideal conditions; it is not perfect. We will not take action on reports about some piece of audio not converting to the expected text.
- Our builds include a basic model that has decent speed and accuracy but not a big size. (You can think of the model as the brain.).
- You can download a bigger and better better brain (model) in `ggml` format and configure it in the Speech to Text dialog, but it will be slower.
- The dialog creates two jobs that appear in the Jobs panel: one to export audio and another to convert to text.
- The results are added to the Subtitles panel as a new top-level Subtitle Track.
- Currently, the only GPU our build supports is Apple Silicon. Otherwise, it is heavily multi-threaded on the CPU.
- Known quirk: subtitle items sometimes start earlier than expected.
Transition improvements:
- Ripple Delete a transition restores the entirety of the clips included in the transition.
- Lift (non-ripple delete) a transition no longer leaves a gap; the gap is filled with the adjacent clips.
- Moving an adjacent clip can now adjust the transition duration.
- Known : Using Undo after any of the above disconnects the transition from its adjacent clips and returns future operations around the transition to the old behavior.
- The only way to get the old behavior is to first drag the transition to an empty area of another track. Ripple mode should be on if you want ripple delete. Or, simply accept the new behavior and adjust things as needed.
Added File Show Project in Folder to menu.
Added a `decimals ` option to numeric keywords in the GPS Text video filter.
Changed Recent Projects to Projects: items in this view no longer disappear a
24.11.1727 Nov 2024 10:47

Settings Time Format Timecode (Non-Drop Frame) for other non-integer frame rates such as 23.98 fps. Using Export From Marker with subtitles creates a bad output (broke in v24.08). a video transition between sources with alpha channel is more translucent than expected. a crash adding MLT XML As a Clip to a Timeline with a higher frame rate. View Resources Convert negatively affects color if input is not HDR. Export Video Aspect ratio immediately after you toggle Use hardware encoder. Possible crash on File New or File . Possible crash dragging a MLT XML file to Playlist of a new project/session. Changing Properties Audio Track All to something else not working.

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..

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

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.

Character that does not contract with kerning.
