Shotcut 21.05 arrives with new filters, improvements and more

The launch of the new version of Shotcut 21.05 which is being developed by the author of the MLT project and uses this framework to organize video editing.

Among the features of Shotcut, we can highlight the possibility of multitrack editing with the composition of video from fragments in various source formats, without the need to import or recode them first.

There are also built-in tools for creating screencasts, processing images from a webcam, and receiving video streaming. Qt5 is used to build the interface.

Main news of Shotcut 21.05

In this new version the added support for Time Remap filters (Filters> Time> Time Remap> Keyframes), which allow to change the speed of the passage of time in a video to speed up, slow down or reverse playback.

It is also mentioned that the implementation by Time Remap cchanged the file format of the project: projects created in Shotcut 21.05 cannot be directly loaded in earlier versionsexcept in versions 21.02 and 21.03, in which you can use the project recovery function, which will remove the applied Time Remap filters.

Another change that was made was in the dialog box "Convert to edit", added an option to use a part of a clip, when enabled, only the part of the clip, which captures 15 seconds before and after the selected position, will be converted. Also added "Keep Advanced" option to save settings between sessions.

In the "File> Export frame" form, the recommendation to choose a file name is implemented and the format used previously is remembered.

Of the other changes that stand out of this new version:

  • Build support has been added for devices based on the Apple Silicon ARM (M1) chip.
  • When tracking a title in keyframes, an option has been proposed to keep the vertical zoom level within the specified limits.
  • Added suggestions for shortcuts that can be used when moving keyframes.

  • Updated versions of FFmpeg 4.3.2, Rubberband 1.9.1 and MLT 7.0.0.

    Hello,

    Tout d'abord merci pour cet article.
    J'ai toutefois a problem. In effet, après avoir essayé toutes les méthodes décrites, il semblerait that linux ne "trouve" pas shotcut dans le tableau de commande de mon chromebook.
    Peut-être n'est-il plus available?
    Auriez vous une idee car je l'avais installé avec succès il ya quelques mois (et je l'ai uninstallé affin d'avoir la dernière version).

    D'avance goods.

    Beautiful day.
