OpenShot 2.4.3 Released
OpenShot’s simple UI and straight-forward set makes it the ideal app for beginners. It allows you to construct basic video edits quickly using a wide variety of video and image formats. And when you’re finished the app makes it easy to share your creations on sites like YouTube.
OpenShot 2.4.3 includes a number of key improvements to masking and transitions, which can now be modified at any time.
Furthermore (as we spoiled at the start of this post) it’s now possible to create a mask or transition using an image or video that has sufficient “grayscale”.
Stability while editing and managing effects is also improved thanks to some new threading tweaks .
For more precise editing you can now nudge videos clip (when one is selected) by holding Shift key and tapping either the Left or Right directional arrow keys.
A new feature that should help speed up the time it takes to create a video thumbnail for use on social media is the ‘save frame’ button . Click this to save a .PNG snapshot of the frame currently the playhead (and on show in the preview player).
Talking of social media, new video presets for Instagram and Twitter are included, and additional frame rates are available to select in the YouTube HD and Vimeo HD presets.
The default project type has been updated to 720p at 30fps with an audio sample rate 44.1 kHz.
Other changes in this release:
- More reliable exporting
- Fixes for zooming and undo/redo
- Improved Title filename duplication
- Track names show in “Add To Timeline” window
- Waveform display rendering improved
- Timeline tidy ups
- Support for FFmpeg 3 & 4 support
- Better FPS, video length and bitrate calculation
