The release of the video editor Shotcut 24.01 is available, which is developed by the author of the MLT project and uses this framework to organize video editing. Support for video and audio formats is implemented through FFmpeg. It is possible to use plugins with the implementation of video and audio effects compatible with Frei0r and LADSPA. One of the features of Shotcut is the possibility of multi-track editing with arranging video from fragments in various source formats, without the need to first import or re-encode them. There are built-in tools for creating screencasts, processing images from a web camera and receiving streaming video. Qt is used to build the interface. The code is written in C++ and distributed under the GPLv3 license. Ready-made builds are available for Linux (AppImage, flatpak and snap), macOS and Windows.
Among the changes in the new release:
- Added Loop and Set Loop Range buttons to the Player menu to control playback looping.
- Added the ability to group areas selected on the timeline (Timeline > Selection > Group/Ungroup).
- In the “Split At Playhead” mode, support for working with multiple selected areas has been added.
- Added a new track split mode “Timeline > Edit > Split All Tracks At Playhead”.
- The ability to roll back changes (Undo/Redo) is provided for operations of adding, deleting, changing and disabling filters.
- Added "Timeline > Edit > Nudge Forward/Nudge Backward" operations
- Operations for pausing and resuming execution have been added to the context menu for jobs.
- In the “Settings > Backup” settings, a choice of backup mode has been added (manual, every hour, once a day, once a week).
- Added a "File > Other Versions" submenu to identify other versions of projects with similar names created by the backup system.
- Added the “Settings > Player > Audio API” setting for selecting the audio output driver in Linux and Windows (similar to the “—SDL_AUDIODRIVER” option).
- A button has been added to the log viewing dialog to go to the last session log (shotcut-log.bak).
- A button for copying content to the clipboard has been added to all dialogs that display text (similar to the Select All and Copy operations in the context menu).
