In addition, it allows the user to adjust which part of the timeline they are interested in viewing,” said the developer.Īlso new in this release is the Caption video effect that can be used for rasterizing/rendering text captions on top of a video stream, parentable keyframes, new effect icons, almost 1000 new emoji, as well as support for the latest FFmpeg, Blender, WebEngine, and WebKit technologies, which puts OpenShot on par with professional video editors while providing users with better compatibility and interoperability with most video file formats. It previews the entire timeline, drawing a tiny representation of every single clip, transition, and track, including which ones are selected.

“We have introduced a new feature I’m tentatively calling the “Zoom Slider”. More than six months in development, OpenShot 2.6 is here with lots of goodies for users of this video editor, which will now enjoy new computer-vision and AI effects like motion tracking, object detection, and stabilization, new audio effects like compressor, distortion, delay, echo, parametric EQ, expander, noise, Robotization, and whisperization, as well as a new Zoom Slider widget for easier navigation of the timeline. OpenShot developer Jonathan Thomas announced the release of OpenShot 2.6, a new major version of this open-source, free, and cross-platform video editor for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems.
