The new version of Shotcut 19.06 comes and these are your changes

Shotcut 19.06

The new version of the video editor Shotcut 19.06 has just been released, which is developed by the MLT project author and uses this framework to organize video editing.

For those who still do not know about Shotcut, they should know that this is an excellent, open-source multiplatform video editor, which has a lot of features, including support for 4K Ultra HD TV.

In addition to all this, the program can work with a large number of audio and video formats and codecs such as AVI, M4A, MXF, VOB, FLV, MP4, M2T, MPG, MOV, OGG, WEBM, and others.

In addition, it also supports many image formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TGA, TIFF, as well as image sequences.

Support for video and audio formats is implemented through FFmpeg. You can use add-ons with the implementation of video and audio effects that are compatible with Frei0r and LADSPA.

From the characteristics of Shotcut, it is possible to observe the possibility of multitrack editing with the video composition of fragments in various original formats, without the need to import or re-encode them previously.

There are built-in tools to create screenshots, image processing from a webcam and receive video streaming.

The most incredible thing is that the program is easy to use and offers tons of functions and features to edit and manage your videos with just a few clicks.

Qt5 is used to build the interface. The code is written in C ++ and distributed under the GPLv3 license.

Main novelties of Shotcut 19.06

With the release of this new version of the video editor Shotcut 19.06, we can find in the addition of new menu items to display text below the icons (See> Show text below the icons) and use compact icons (See> Show small icons).

As for the program interface, we can now find that the "Ripple All" button is added to the panel with the timeline, while the Add Keyframe button has been added to the keyframes panel.

In Shotcut 19.06 the hotkeys Ctrl + 0-9 are added to quickly switch panels, and Alt 0 / + / - to scale keyframes.

The offset of the time offset is set to 5 seconds. And Panel buttons are rearranged to match the "view" menu.

On the part of the filters we can find that a filter was added to trim the video "Crop: Rectangle" with support for alpha channel (transparency). Alpha channel support has also been added to the circular cropping tool (Crop: Circle).

Also added were new filters for vertical flip ((Vertical Flip), defocus (Blur: Exponential, Low Pass and Gaussian), noise reduction (Reduce Noise: HQDN3D) and add noise (Noise: Fast and Keyframes).

While other filters were renamed: "Circular Frame" to "Crop: Circle", "Crop" to "Crop: Source", "Text" to "Text: Simple", "3D Text" to "Text: 3D", " Overlay HTML "a" Text: HTML "," Blur "to" Blur: Box "," Reduce Noise "to" Reduce Noise: Smart Blur ".
