OpenShot 3.4 Video Editor Released: One Of Their Largest Updates Ever

([Free Software] 26 Minutes Ago OpenShot 3.4)


OpenShot 3.4 is now available as the latest feature update to this open-source video editor app. OpenShot 3.4 happens to be " one of our largest updates we've ever done " with a variety of improvements in tow.

OpenShot 3.4 is reported to be around 32% faster than previous versions of this non-linear video editor. There is also lower memory utilization, a number of new video effects, crash fixes, and also an experimental new timeline feature.

Some of the new video effects with OpenShot 3.4 include sharpen, color map LUT, spherical projection, lens flare, and outline. There is also now interactive cropping support, drag-to-retime functionality, and many other improvements. A new benchmark tool in libopenshot also sounds promising for my purposes.

Downloads and many more details on all of the changes with the OpenShot 3.4 open-source video editor can be found via [1]OpenShot.org .

Once there lived a village of creatures along the bottom of a great
crystal river. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs
and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and
resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature
said at last, "I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall
let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom."
The other creatures laughed and said, "Fool! Let go, and that current
you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will
die quicker than boredom!"
But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at
once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet, in time,
as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the
bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.
And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, "See
a miracle! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come
to save us all!" And the one carried in the current said, "I am no more
Messiah than you. The river delight to lift us free, if only we dare let go.
Our true work is this voyage, this adventure.
But they cried the more, "Saviour!" all the while clinging to the
rocks, making legends of a Saviour.
