alt Hacker NewsOpenShot 4.0: Record, Edit, and Color Like Never Before
Comments
There is also Blick which launched recently which claims to be very very fast https://blickeditor.com/?lang=en and part of recent wave of fast software (Task Slinger, File Pilot)

I've been working on OpenPost's Video Editor (Svelte-based video editor that runs on your (chromium) browser). If anyone's looking for something they can run on the browser, fully free and OSS as well, check it out https://app.openpost.social/video-editor
Currently really in early Beta but this seems like a great place to mention it.
Here is the repo if you want to give it a star
Nice, looks like a great release. UI looks like it got a nice touch up and also cool to see that the project has AI powered object masking using onnx models: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-onnx.
Will have to give this a whirl with a screen reader, see how it does. Given the only somewhat working video editor accessibility-wise is currently Clipchamp, competition is sorely needed. Don't have high hopes, but I guess a x.0 release might be the time for me to start fixing it if nobody else is going to -.-
Who knew a QT app could look this good? Congratulations on the release.
I am quite familiar with Resolve..I am not a pro, and it's probably totally overload for my purpose, but I think it's easy to learn and even quite intuitive
I tried many others, but mostly all others are not stable enough or have an even worse UI/UX... so I wonder... is this different?
This is one of those occasions where a video would be appropriate.
Is this effectively a leaner more basic, record, cut, colour version of Resolve?
- ...but is the video encoding fast? - Does it often break while encoding?
That was my experience some years ago and I decided I will skip a decade to see it all working.
Since the announcement is, frustratingly, low on details, did they implement the usual hue vs hue, hue vs sat, etc. controls? I don't do much color grading but my line of work requires using multiple cameras, thus I enjoy using a color chart to match the video clips. With a vectorscope and with the color chart I could quickly do basically everthing I need with this software instead of relying in Resolve, if only it offered those controls
I would love OpenShot to update their website. It's not; it's just for me. The current design makes me not use this software. I would love to help make new website for them.
Adtech cookie banner on a .org domain for a thing whose name starts with „Open“? No thanks. Won‘t look further.
A Video editor landing pages with still screenshots doesn't do any justice for new comer. The power can only be shown with smal 10-30s in-inline videos.
any interest in adding agentic capabilities?
The major design companies have this to supplant their theoretically now less attractive SaaS revenue, letting professionals automate most things through their creative suite products with LLMs doing a lot of reasoning about what to do and how to composite, but it all goes through cloud compute instances and they basically won’t add a local server to their products because they cant charge per credit. So that retains a bottleneck on uploading and file sizes and other things
If Openshot started competing in that regard it would be very forward looking. I wouldnt even say competitive yet because people dont really know about this use of AI and associate AI creativity with generative only, instead of just replicating the human processes for mass output faster
So it runs on ?
I really wish all s/w had the platform and price in line 1.
Has anyone tried having a local agent (like Qwen) use this? I wonder how good the API is for programmatic / CLI usage.
If it had VST support I could use it instead of DaVinci Resolve.
Not to be confused with OpenCut, which is a completely different FLOSS video editor.
I have dream that Oneday Oneday these surpass Cinelerra, written in 1996. Thirty Years Ago.
nice

The cookie banner and the list of 209 adtech vendors they share user data with is so repulsive.
How does this compare to After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Davinci Resolve?
I am pretty sure, this thing solves half of the problems the above solve, and it does it half-good.
That seems excellent.
I wonder if they finally change the caption editing with the weird timing reference, probably not.
edit: this is what I'm talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenShot/comments/1s27wre/the_way_c...
edit: can't really try as it crashes on my M1 Sequoia (maybe the install being named OpenShot-v4.0.0-x86_64.dmg was not a good sign ;))
I've supported OpenShot financially in the past, but I'm currently leaning towards LosslessCut and Shortcut.
Most people want a video editor to splice and concatenate video files without any loss or transcoding. I believe this behavior (lossless) should be default on all of these editors.
