Shotcut 26.4.30 shipped today as the latest and greatest version of this open-source, cross-platform video editor.
Following Shotcut's 26.1 release where [1]hardware decoding was enabled by default and other improvements and then Shotcut 26.2 with more refinements, Shotcut 26.4 brings more nice enhancements for this one of the best open-source video editor apps.
Shotcut's timeline has been enhanced with symmetric resizing of a timeline transition, drag-and-drop from the "recent" area to the timeline, improved timeline zoom, and reduced memory usage when dealing with timeline waveforms.
Since Shotcut 24.10 in 2024 there has been [2]Whipser.cpp for text-to-speech support with the OpenAI's Whisper model. New to Shotcut 26.4 is now supporting Vulkan acceleration for the Whisper.cpp usage for a more performant experience than just using the CPU back-end for that AI feature. This Vulkan acceleration has been tested on both Windows and Linux.
Shotcut 26.4 also adds 10-bit VP9 MP4 (E-AC-3) and 10-bit VP9 WebM (Opus) export presets. Downloads and more details on the Shotcut 26.4 improvements via [3]Shotcut.org .
