New Stuff

  • Added Bins and media type & text search to Playlist.
  • Added View > Files panel.
  • Added Show in Files to Properties and Jobs.
  • Added HSL Primaries and HSL Range video filters (HSL = Hue/Saturation/Lightness).
  • Added Gradient Map video filter.
  • Added Settings > Player > Pause After Seek toggle that defaults to on (old behavior).
  • Added a Type parameter to Fade In Audio and Fade Out Audio filters.

Fixes and Changes

  • Improved Playlist > Generate Slideshow with trimmed video clips making it more useful to make a montage.
  • Fixed incorrect color change when mixing video tracks and certain filters such as Hue/Lightness/Saturation.
  • Fixed scrub bar and Timeline & Keyframes rulers not using Settings > Time Format.
  • Fixed File > Export > Markers as Chapters when Settings > Time Format is not Clock.
  • Fixed Subtitles works incorrectly after a couple of minutes with non-integer frame rates.
  • Fixed Settings > Clear Recent on Exit not clearing the Projects list.
  • Fixed View > Application Log > Previous not appearding on Windows.
  • Fixed changing Properties > Duration of image on Timeline not adjusting video filters keyframes.
  • Fixed Properties > Export GPX not working with GoPro HERO 11, 12 & 13.
  • Fixed Export > Presets > lossless > H.264 with NVIDIA hardware encoder.
  • Fixed “Use font size” in Text: Simple, GPS Text, Subtitle Burn In and Timer filters not applying from a saved preset.
  • Fixed the color picker (pick color from screen) when Shotcut is not on the primary screen.
  • Fixed the color picker on the Wayland graphics subsystem in Linux.
  • Fixed drag-n-drop from the Source player on Wayland for Linux.
  • Added native support for Wayland (without Xwayland) in the Flatpak for Linux.
  • Fixed unable to extend duration of text clips made by Subtitles > Generate Text on Timeline.
  • Fixed Properties > Convert job progress when deinterlacing or changing frame rate.
  • Fixed the subtitle track and times on ruler disapper when Timeline is floated.
  • Fixed the Delete and Clear actions in the Text: Rich editor not working.
  • Export preset H.264 High Profile now defaults to a higher quality 65% than YouTube or the defaults.
  • Removed File > Open Other > JACK Audio on Linux to remove the hard run-time dependency on libjack.so for Shotcut. However, that library is still needed to get some of the bundled audio filters (unless they load from system-installed “swh” LADSPA plugins).
  • Improved support for pix_fmt=yuv420p10le or yuv444p10le, colorspace=2020, color_trc=arib-std-b67 or smpte2084 in Export > Other for 10-bit pass-through (i.e. no image effects) editing without GPU Effects (i.e. rudimentary HDR editing without adequate preview).
  • Upgraded dependencies:
    • MLT 7.30.0
    • Qt 6.8.1
    • dav1d 1.5.0
    • AOM AV1 3.11.0
    • OpenCV 4.10
    • libvpx 1.15.0
