Quality-of-Life Improvements

Our goal for the 3.1.1 release of OpenShot was to listen very closely to our user community and their feedback from the 3.1.0 release, and quickly follow-up with a new release of OpenShot. We prioritized this feedback based on how many users each issue affected, and also considered many automated bug reports from Sentry.io.

We fixed many major issues, including crashes, freezes, video compatibility, and broken functionality with our user interface. This entire release cycle took around 14 days, and our entire team worked very hard to make this happen so fast! A big thanks to everyone who helped, especially Raffi, who was instrumental in communicating with our users and advocating for important issues to be resolved.

How to Install OpenShot

400+ Video Profiles

OpenShot now includes more than 400 video profiles, which are fully searchable. The research into this feature was very interesting, and included building a large metadata database of known video resolutions, frame rates, aspect ratios, devices, and pixel ratios - and a new management script which can validate, dedupe, and generate/update our existing profiles. Moving forward it will be extremely easy to add new resolutions, new frame rates, and new ratios. For more information on video profiles, check out our User Guide.

Time Remapping Improvements

While OpenShot has included some basic time remapping features for a while, they were quite limited, and would often crash when speeding up or slowing down videos. These crashes have been eliminated, and a much more robust time remapping implementation has been added. This includes vastly superior audio resampling support for backward and forward videos. It also now supports time keyframes using Bezier curves to incrementally speed up / slow down video and audio.

Undo / Redo Transactions

One of the most requested features in OpenShot is for better Undo / Redo support, especially for multi-step edits, such as slicing a clip into 2 clips or removing a track (i.e. which moves many clips at the same time). All multi-step edits now support a transaction system behind the scenes, which groups these multi-step edits together. All operations in OpenShot now take a single click to undo.

Captions & Audio-Only Waveforms

The Caption effect has gotten some much needed love, and has improved support for VTT/Subrip syntax, including a new set of default keyframe properties, which correctly scale to different resolutions, including High DPI screens. Also, OpenShot now supports waveform visualizations for audio-only files (prior to effects being rendered), which now allows effects, such as the Caption effect, to be added to audio-only files. This is a very effective way to make audio-only edits much more interesting (waveforms + colors + caption text).

Memory Leaks & Bug Fixes

We have identified and fixed ALL known memory leaks in OpenShot's source code, including killing zombie threads, making OpenShot much better at maintaining and reclaiming memory usage. For example, after a video render, your memory will now be reclaimed and threads properly destroyed. This allows for OpenShot to run for very long periods of time without any restarts, and is especially nice for batch renders, long renders, Cloud API renders, and other scripting usages which has OpenShot rendering videos for days without stopping.

Improved Performance

Many of the changes to OpenShot 3.1 improve CPU performance, especially around Frame Mapping (which happens anytime your source video FPS does not match your video profile), and Clip performance (when effects or expensive processing is needed, such as time remapping). Additional cache is used with Clips to prevent duplicate rendering efforts, and Frame mappers are much more optimized, to also prevent duplicate processing of the same frame.

A HUGE Thanks

I would like to thank all of the volunteers, translators, software developers, testers, users, donors, and everyone who contributed to OpenShot 3.1! I would also like to give a special thanks to Shawn (and Denise), and Raffi for their efforts and personal sacrifices to make OpenShot the best free video editor in the world!

How to Install OpenShot

Download OpenShot 3.0 and follow our step-by-step installation guide.

Improved Stability

We have worked tirelessly over the past 12 months to identify and fix as many stability issues as possible in OpenShot. This was a unique challenge, both in finding clever ways to identify and reproduce crashes, and finding solutions that don't impact the performance of OpenShot. A few notable improvements are related to thread safety (during timeline changes and video playback caching), multi-threaded unit tests designed to flush out race conditions and concurrency issues, safer object clean-up and deletion, and updates to the Undo/Redo system to prevent crashes (for example, when spamming undo).

Enhanced Real-Time Video Playback Performance

One of the largest and most noticeable changes to OpenShot 3.0 is our improved video preview, resulting in smoother video preview and fewer freezes and pauses during previewing. But to understand why things are so much smoother, we need to look deeper into our decoding engine. We have rearchitected our decoder to be much more resilient to missing packets, missing timestamps, and better understanding when we are missing video or audio data, so we can move on without pausing.

Dozens of bug fixes and related improvements have also helped OpenShot 3.0 expand compatibility to more video formats and codecs, especially newer ones, which tend to be more reliant on multi-threaded decoding, such as AV1. Also, many improvements related to EOF (end of file) detection and file duration detection have further expanded the compatibility, even for badly encoded files with missing timestamps, and incorrect durations (which is very common in JavaScript encoded videos, and certain types of video capture files).

Video caching has also been heavily refactored and improved, to offer new functionality and more optimizations. OpenShot utilizes a caching background thread, which prepares upcoming frames before they are needed. This caching algorithm has been improved to operate at different speeds (1X, 2X, 4X) and in both forward and backwards directions. It also now includes a pre-roll to build up video frames before playback starts, offering a smoother playback experience. Many new caching related settings can be set in the OpenShot Preferences, and the user can now clear the cache any time, by right clicking on the playhead and clicking "Cache->Clear All".

Timeline Improvements

The timeline has seen lots of love as well in OpenShot 3.0, and includes some great quality of life improvements, making OpenShot even easier to use. Snapping accuracy has been dramatically improved (while trimming and moving clips / transitions). Holding SHIFT will cause the playhead line to snap to the edges of clips. Slicing clips with our razor tool is now faster (requiring less CPU). Keyframe icons have gotten a much needed face lift, and are also more accurate (i.e. position). Keyframe icons now represent the interpolation mode (circle for bézier, diamond for linear, square for constant), and are clickable and filterable. Video effects now have unique colors for each effect. Transitions now set their own direction (i.e. fade-in vs fade-out), depending on where they are dropped.

For those users who enjoy working with audio waveforms, this feature has also been heavily expanded and optimized in OpenShot 3.0. We now cache waveform data per file, and store this inside the OpenShot project file. This allows for persistent waveform caching across editing sessions, and fast waveform rendering when slicing and adding the same file to the timeline multiple times. We also have a more accurate waveform algorithm utilizing RMS (root mean square), and our timeline zoom slider allows the user to zoom down to frame accuracy on a clip, for perfect alignment with waveforms.

Reduced Memory Footprint

Among the many improvements in stability, we also worked very hard on reducing the memory footprint of OpenShot 3.0, and fixed many memory leaks and threading issues in the process. One of the primary goals of this work was to support extremely long renders (multiple hours), for processing really long recorded streams, security camera footage, and other long format recordings. In our tests, we achieved sustained encoding for more than 12 hours with essentially the same memory utilization the entire time... which is a huge improvement from previous versions of OpenShot.

Animated GIF & MP3

OpenShot 3.0 comes with many new export presets, including Animated Gif, MP3 (audio only), YouTube 2K, YouTube 4K, MKV, and more. We also have better support for anamorphic video profiles (i.e. videos with rectangular pixels)... perfect for working with old home videos.

Export Clips Feature

An exciting new feature in OpenShot 3.0 is the ability to split files into many clips, and then export all these clips at the same time, and in their original profile and format. For example, you can now quickly cut out highlights from your family home video files, select them all, and right click "Export Clips", select a folder, and click "Export". This will generate a unique video file for each clip, and makes it easy to upload to a file sharing site for your entire family.

Blender 3.3 Support

Keeping up with Blender's rapid development is always a challenge (they are super fast). We have updated our animated title templates to work with the latest version of Blender, including fixing various scripting errors which have changed since the last release of OpenShot. Also, we now set Blender to use the current project frame rate (FPS), so your new animated title perfectly matches it, and in high frame rate projects, this can have a huge impact by creating much smoother animations.

Improved Location Preferences

OpenShot 3.0 includes a new preference that affects the default folders used for operations (importing files, saving / opening projects, and exporting). You can choose to either use the current project's folder, or the most recent folder chosen (for that specific operation). In practice, this saves the user time by defaulting to better and more sane default folders, but with this new preference, the user can quickly customize the behavior for their unique workflow.

Sorting + Translation Improvements

While OpenShot has always sorted things in alphabetical order, such as effects, transitions, emojis, animated titles, and titles, this was only for English, and when using OpenShot with a non-English language, all our lists were still in English order, and "chaos" is the best word to describe the user interface in that state. So, we have refactored and improved our sorting at runtime, to be language independent. We have also fixed many other issues with our translation system, and we are happy to now report that using OpenShot in non-English languages is vastly improved and feels native! Also, the user can now manually change the sort columns on many views, and toggle the sort direction when needed.

New High DPI Support

OpenShot 3.0 now fully supports high DPI displays and monitors, such as 4K monitors. Many of the assets used in OpenShot, such as icons, cursors, and logos have been swapped out for vector or higher resolution images. Also, the maths used in determining many custom widget sizes, such as our video preview widget, have been updated to be aware of high DPI and scale up the pixels when needed. The end result is a beautiful, HD user interface that is crisp and fully supported on newer, high pixel count displays.

Improved User-Guide / Documentation

A very common complaint from OpenShot users (and prospective users) has always been our user guide. Old and outdated, with screenshots that no longer seem to match our descriptions, and many topics missing. Well, we decided it was time to invest heavily in our user-guide, and we are very proud of the outcome! We now have coverage of all OpenShot features, screens, effects, profiles, presets, titles, and more! We have updated all the screenshots (utilizing higher DPI images). We have over 110 pages of topics, descriptions, and information about how to use OpenShot, and a detailed glossary of video editing terminology. We also added PDF output to our documentation pipeline, and now any changes to our RST documentation files, automatically update our user-guide (and PDF) on openshot.org. It has never been a better time to learn OpenShot!

A Huge Thanks

I would like to sincerely thank all of the volunteers, translators, software developers, testers, users, donors, and everyone who contributed to OpenShot 3.0! I would also like to give a special thanks to Shawn (and Denise), Jackson, Raffi, Brenno, Frank, and Justin for the extra effort, and really helping to make this release possible. Lastly, I would like to thank all of the shoulders we are standing on: FFmpeg, Blender, Inkscape, ReSVG, Python, Django, JavaScript, Qt, and the many other great libraries and projects we depend on.

OpenShot 2.6.0 Released | AI + Computer Vision + Audio Effects!

jonathan@openshot.org (Jonathan) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 19:33:39 +0000

I am proud to announce the release of OpenShot 2.6.0, which I hope is the finest version of OpenShot ever made! We have so many improvements, it’s hard to pick a favorite!

Download OpenShot 2.6.0

Highlights (TL;DR)

New Computer Vision and AI effects (motion tracking, object detection, stabilization)
Audio Effects (compressor, expander, distortion, delay, echo, noise, EQ, robot, whisper)
New Zoom Slider widget (simple way to navigate around the timeline)
New Transform Tool (resize, rotate, move, origin point, shear, scale, zoom in/out)
Improved Snapping (while positioning, trimming, playhead)
New Caption video effect (rasterize captions on top of video)
Audio Bug Fixes (more crackling/popping fixes)
FFmpeg 4 Support, Updated Blender Support, WebEngine + WebKit support
Parentable keyframes (parent clips and keyframes)
Improved performance & stability (while rendering, ruler drawing, timeline zooming)

New AI Effects

For the first time ever, OpenShot now includes computer-vision / AI video effects.

Stabilization provides a simple way to calculate camera shake/motion, and completely eliminate it. This might be one of the most requested features ever, and I’m very proud that it’s now included!

Tracker allows you to draw a box around any element in the video, and we continue to track the coordinates of that object throughout each frame. Once calculated, we store/cache the motion and coordinates for super fast real-time video previews. This motion data can then be used in our animation system, attaching another clip to those coordinates.

Object Detection identifies all objects in a scene, and allows you to draw boxes around certain types of objects (i.e. identify all the people in this scene, or identify all the cars in a scene), or add text labels above each object. You can also use this data in our animation system, attaching a clip to all objects of a certain type. This effect is still in beta (and requires downloading a few extra files, for the AI model), but I went ahead and included it for your enjoyment.

New Audio Effects

A total of 9 audio effects have been added to OpenShot, many of which are based on implementations from the JUCE audio library that libopenshot-audio is based on. Each of these are pretty standard audio effects, and each include many parameters and options. All of these effects are real-time, and are plenty fun to play around with!

Compressor (reduce the volume of loud sounds or amplify quiet sounds)
Expander (louder parts of audio becomes relatively louder and quieter parts becomes quieter)
Distortion (alter the audio by clipping the signal)
Delay (adjust the synchronism between the audio and video track)
Echo (reflection of sound with a delay after the direct sound)
Noise (random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies)
Parametric EQ (filter that allows you to adjust the volume level of a frequency in the audio track)
Robotization (transform the voice present in an audio track into a robotic voice effect)
Whisperization (transform the voice present in an audio track into a whispering voice effect)

New Zoom Slider Tool

One of the historically weakest areas in OpenShot has been the control of timeline scale and general timeline usability, scrolling, panning, and zooming. We have introduced a new feature I’m tentatively calling the “Zoom Slider”. It previews the entire timeline, drawing a tiny representation of every single clip, transition, and track, including which ones are selected. In addition, it allows the user to adjust which part of the timeline they are interested in viewing. Clicking and dragging the blue circles determines which portion of the timeline is visible. Dragging the entire blue area scrolls the timeline horizontally. This feature was requested by my daughter, and I think it turned out amazing!

Improved Performance

With every release of OpenShot we strive to provide stability and performance improvements. This release is no different, and I am happy to report some very big improvements on performance, especially related to threading and CPU usage. Some threads were removed, after testing a single threaded version which was much higher performing. Our performance is very similar to raw FFmpeg in many cases, which is amazing considering how many additional capabilities that OpenShot adds. Another big change is our color format (used internally) has changed from RGBA8888 to RGBA8888_Premultiplied, where our alpha channel is premultiplied into our color data. This makes certain types of compositing/painting much faster and requires less CPU per pixel.

Improved Transform Tool

Selecting any clip now automatically enables “Transform” mode (which can be disabled in the Preferences if needed). Transform mode has been completely overhauled, and contains a ton of polish! Resizing, rotating, scaling, positioning, and shearing have never been easier! It’s also fully compatible with our animation keyframe system, and can quickly create complex animations. Even the mouse cursors are transformed in real-time… which is super cool and very intuitive, since they communicate exactly what is about to happen.

We also have introduced an origin point (the cross hair in the middle), which can be used to control how the shearing and rotation work. And just for fun, the origin point can even be animated as well… which creates some very interesting animation capabilities.

When using your mouse scroll wheel over the video preview, it now zooms in and out of the preview window… allowing you to see objects offscreen. This makes complex animations so much easier, and is a huge improvement!

Improved Snapping

Another feature that has been frequently requested is improved snapping. OpenShot now has the ability to snap while trimming the edges of clips, making it much easier to align the edges of clips on different tracks. The following use cases now work:

Snapping while trimming
Snapping clips to the playhead (trimming or positioning)
Snapping the playhead to clips (if CTRL is pressed)
Snapping accuracy is also improved

Improved Video Effects

Many of OpenShot’s video effects have been extended and improved, along with a few new features. We have added a new Caption effect, which can rasterize/render text onto your video in a very common format (VTT/SubRip). Once you copy/paste the subtitles into OpenShot, you can quickly adjust the font, colors, borders, background, margins, positioning, size, and even add a simple fade in/out animation. With a few clicks, you can add text to your entire video, which will be baked into your final video export. You can also manually insert text at any playhead position, which makes inserting text very simple, even if you aren’t starting with a captions file.

The Saturation effect has been improved to support a color-separated model, with more keyframable parameters, giving the user more control and more accuracy.

Keyframes are now parentable, and can be used to manage more complex animations and more complex timelines. For example, you can parent a bunch of clips to a single parent, and control them all in one place. This is also used on our new Tracker and Object Detection effects.

Lastly, we have new effect icons, which we hope better demonstrate and communicate how an effect will behave.

Emojis (OpenMoji)

We have added nearly 1000 emojis from the great OpenMoji project. These are integrated into OpenShot, and are super useful when learning and experimenting with a video editor for the first time. They can be used for simple animations, overlays, and to add color and interest to various video editing projects.

Quality of Life Improvements & Fixes

The following improvements have also been implemented, which we hope will improve your general experience and enjoyment of OpenShot.

Ability to Import *.osp Projects as Clips
WebEngine & WebKit Support
FFmpeg 4 Support
Faster timeline ruler rendering / more precision / super zoom!
Rotation improvements and EXIF metadata support
Updated Blender support
Faster file importing
FIXED: Incorrect PTS (blank first frame)
FIXED: More audio pops & crackles
FIXED: Audio division across frames
FIXED: Improved video caching
FIXED: Improved alpha video support
FIXED: Title editor font size fixes
FIXED: stdout/stderr redirection

REST Cloud API

We have released many new updates for our REST API, which is available on both AWS and Azure marketplaces. The OpenShot Cloud API allows you to create custom videos via simple HTTP Requests (GET, PUT, PATCH, POST, DELETE). With a short script (or any programming language) you can load *.osp/*.zip templates, upload files, create clips, update clips, change keyframes and animations, and export new custom videos. We have a webhook which can POST the JSON details and notify your website of the newly rendered videos once they are completed.

Automate birthday videos!
Automate real estate listing videos!
Take any static content (i.e. product images) and create animated, dynamic video content!
Automate almost any type of video!

Improved Infrastructure & Misc

A ton of other exciting changes have also been happening, which don’t always fit nicely into the categories above.

Chrome OS Support (Chromebooks), now officially supported on our download page
Expanded Unit Tests
GitHub Actions replaced Travis CI, improved CI
Faster Builds (multi-threaded), thus faster feedback to users on bug fixes
New Mac, Windows, and Linux Build Servers, improved performance
Mac Notarization, ughhh
Release Automation, lots of work to make releasing OpenShot easier, so we can do it more frequently
Improved Error Detection and Reporting
Improved AppImage Compatibility, retiring support for older Linux distros
Display of accurate version info (from build server) on launch / log files
Translation Improvements (separate templates)

Emojis, Transitions, Blender, General
Updated translations

Documentation Improvements
Updated supporters, credits, and contributors

OpenShot 2.5.1 Released | Optimized Effects & Improved Performance!

jonathan@openshot.org (Jonathan) — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 09:33:29 +0000

With faster performance, huge optimizations with effects, and improved UTF-8 character support, OpenShot 2.5.1 is the best version yet, bringing powerful and simple video editing to the open-source world!

The OpenShot team has been very busy over the past few weeks, and we are proud to release OpenShot 2.5.1! While we don't normally release so quickly, we had a show-stopping bug with version 2.5.0 (mostly related to UTF-8 support of non-ASCII characters), and decided to put out a fix as quickly as possible. However, we were also able to "sneak in" some really awesome improvements at the same time!

Download OpenShot 2.5.1 Now

Highlights (TL;DR)

UTF-8 Project Encoding Bug Fix (for non-ASCII characters)
Auto-Repair UTF-8 Corrupted Projects
Thumbnail Server UTF-8 Encoding
Updated Documentation (with Auto-Update)
Updated Translations / Supporters
Fixed Broken Color-Shift and Shift Effects
Updated Documentation and Examples (C++)
Saturation Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Hue Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Blur Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Wave Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Brightness Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Pixelate Effect: Rewrite effect to use QPainter/QRect
Frame: Fix interlaced AddImage
Raise Preview Cache to CPUs X 8 Frames (max 64)
FindRESVG CMake: Modernize with Targets
Enhance Json Data Handling
Improve Travis Speed (remove homebrew from Mac builds)
Auto-Update HEX Version (for older CMake versions)
Misc Bug Fixes

UTF-8 Project Encoding

A large regression with handling file paths was discovered after the release of OpenShot 2.5.0. Not only did non-ASCII paths fail to save, the *.OSP project file was corrupted in the save process. Yikes. This has been resolved (thanks FeRD and SuslikV), and not only is the bug fixed, but opening these corrupted *.OSP project files with version 2.5.1 will also fix the corruption automatically! I am happy to report that this fix has been tested on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and works great now, especially with non-ASCII file paths!

Effects Performance

Many effects have been optimized and parallelized, which takes advantage of multi-core processors. This results in many magnitudes of improvement for these effects (or at least most of them). Real-time previews are also notizably improved when effects are involved.

Saturation Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Hue Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Blur Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Wave Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Brightness Effect: Optimize and Parallelize
Pixelate Effect: Rewrite effect to use QPainter/QRect

Improved Documentation & Translations

Lots of documentation improvements, including new examples, updated syntax, better formatting, and a new auto-doc-update system, which updates our https://www.openshot.org/user-guide/ anytime a change is committed. Updated translations and supporters are also included, with improved language support for many languages.

OpenShot 2.5.0 Released | Video Editing + Hardware Acceleration!

jonathan@openshot.org (Jonathan) — Sat, 08 Feb 2020 21:37:14 +0000

I am proud to announce the release of OpenShot 2.5.0, our largest release yet! In honesty, this release got a bit too large and almost crushed my brain, but I’m happy to finally release it into the wild! May it have safe travels!

Let’s start with the highlights!

Hardware encoding and decoding support

Perhaps one of the most exciting changes in OpenShot 2.5.0 is our experimental support for hardware acceleration. You will see some new options available if you have a supported encoder/decoder. Many graphics cards come with the ability to encode and decode video data without using the CPU. This can result in a huge performance improvement on some systems, but also depends on the input and output formats, and many other factors. For example, if you are using only MP4/H.264 input files, and your graphics card is supported, it can help OpenShot decode the pixel data from the video, and on the flip side, encode the pixel data back into a video. This can increase performance by up to 30-40%, just depending on all the various factors. A huge thanks to Peter M for his dedication and help with this one!

Keyframe performance improvements (magnitudes faster)

Often on projects which contain long clips or many clips, the performance of our keyframe system would slow down. Usually the delay was only on first accessing the keyframe, but when many clips are involved, it would sometimes slow down a bunch as a user would jump around the timeline. We have completely rewritten the keyframe system to deliver real-time interpolated values, and no longer cache the entire value set. A big thanks to Daniel Jour for all his great engineering on this one! Our new system can generate almost 100,000 interpolated values before our old system would return even 1 value.

Export and Import of EDL and XML (Premiere and Final Cut Pro)

For the first time ever, OpenShot can import and export data in widely supported formats. Our EDL support works with many video editors, and supports the basic timeline data (files, clips, some keyframes, transitions, etc…). XML format is supported in Final Cut Pro, but also many other products support this format. It also contains the basic timeline data (files, clips, some keyframes, and multiple tracks). The XML format is more advanced by far, and supports more features from OpenShot. This has been a highly requested feature for many years. I’m happy to finally deliver on it!

Thumbnail generation much improved (uses local HTTP server)

Previous versions of OpenShot had a very fragile thumbnail system. If a folder got moved or renamed, it was likely many broken thumbnails would appear. This has now been fixed in a few ways. Project’s now have unique asset folders, and thumbnails are now generated using a local HTTP server, check multiple folder locations, and can regenerate missing ones.

Blender 2.8+ Support

Blender 2.8 was a huge and impressive release. We now support the new *.blend format, and most of our animated titles have been fixed or recreated from scratch. We also have some improved logic around version detection and EXE detection.

New ability to recover previous saves (~/.openshot_qt/recovery/) and improved auto-backup

One of the scariest types of issues a user can encounter is losing huge amounts of data, by perhaps deleting everything from their timeline (on accident), and then auto-save running. Now, before every save, a copy of the entire *.osp project is copied into a recovery folder. We only store a limited amount of recovery files, but now users will be able to easily grab an older version and copy it back to the original save folder location. While not perfect, this will hopefully prevent massive data losses, and give users more options to recover previous versions of a project… even when the undo/redo system and auto-save system fails them.

SVG compatibility and improvements

We have fixed many issues around SVG support, transparency issues, font issues, and included a much newer version of resvg library in our official releases. Updated title thumbnails, and better support of SVG, especially on OS X and older Linux distros.

Preview window improvements (dimensions divisible by 2)

When resizing the preview window in OpenShot, often a user will choose an invalid window size, one that is not divisible by their project output size (i.e. 1920x1080). We now verify (and adjust if needed) the final preview window size to always be divisible by 2 (both width and height). This prevents flickering lines and bars on the sides of preview/playback.

Export improvements

When exporting a video, we no longer modify the project’s keyframe data. This was done to scale keyframes up and down, when exporting to different frame rates. But a side effect was it would modify keyframe data and potentially lose data (scaling down and back up). This no longer happens, and project data is now safe when exporting.

Disable metrics until opt-in (privacy improvements)

On the first launch of OpenShot, we no longer automatically send metric data until a user has opted in to share metrics with us. The metric requests are queued up, and will go nowhere unless a user gives permission. Metrics are very useful though, and help us see how OpenShot is being used. They are already anonymized, and contain no IP or location data. But they tell us important details, such as version info, library versions, what errors have occurred, etc… All things that help us find bugs and ultimately improve the quality of OpenShot.

Tons of CMake and build improvements

Thanks to @ferdnyc for all the help and support improving our build system, CMake, Travis CI, GitLab CI, and much more! We’ve updated many dependencies, but mostly, our build system is simpler, more bullet-proof, and more modern.

Cross-platform improvements (fixed lots of small differences between OSes)

We now have a much more rigorous testing suite for OpenShot, and all 3 OSes have reached the same support and features, and all OSes are now passing our release testing plan. This is part of a bigger plan to make OpenShot more transparent, more documented on GitHub, and easier for new contributors to join us. A big thanks to everyone who helped test OpenShot 2.5.0.

d35dc53  2020-01-08 Jonathan Thomas          Testing a better way to generate git logs from the current commit to the previous tag. During a release, we tag the current commit during the publishing, and then it starts detecting no changes (since we are ON the current tag).
0cb9751  2020-01-08 Jonathan Thomas          Don't read the changelog more than 1 time (when testing different encodings)
f840d6d  2020-01-08 Jonathan Thomas          Stopping video playback when opening a project, trying to simplify some edge cases (no need for continous playback during switching project files, lol)

e276d62  2020-01-07 Jonathan Thomas          Add queue for sending metrics, and disable metrics completely on initial launch. Once the user has opted in, flush the queue and send all metrics which are queued. If the user doesn't opt-in, we send no metrics at all.
8aeda71  2020-01-07 Jonathan Thomas          Adding a version for Unity importing... trying to get rid of an error I keep seeing related to this.
fd620f4  2020-01-07 Jonathan Thomas          Updating rescale_keyframes() method to not modify the current project. This allows the Export dialog to make a copy of the rescaled keyframes, and not modify the active project when exporting to a different FPS. Now Export feels much safer, because it doesn't modify project data.

f514fb0  2020-01-03 Jonathan Thomas          Updating cache generation logic to use 85% PNG compression, to reduce the size of cache images (used by titles, transitions, effects, animated titles, etc...). This reduces at least 20 MB of images of included assets in OpenShot distribution packages.
27ce9c0  2020-01-03 Jonathan Thomas          Removing feColorMatrix effect from a few titles, because ReSVG does not support it and it generates errors.

62e757f  2019-11-16 Jonathan Thomas          Large assets refactor, plus adding recovery ability (~/.openshot_qt/recovery/). Introduced a new @assets path placeholder which is replaced by the project's dynamic asset path. This allows for external renaming of assets folder + project file. Also simplifies 'Save As', as we no longer have hard-coded absolute paths to assets folders. Also, once a project is saved/loaded, Titles and Thumbnails are saved inside the new assets folder (instead of inside our temp ~/.openshot_qt/ folders).
dea4edc  2019-11-14 Jonathan Thomas          Large overhaul of thumbnail generation. Use an HTTP server to "serve" thumbnails to our UI and HTML timeline. This allows the HTTP server to handle requests, and handle cases such as missing files, different thumbnail folders, etc...

60d170c  2019-09-06 Brad Kartchner           Finished changes suggested by ferdnyc
81c9dbe  2019-09-06 Brad Kartchner           Made some changes in response to ferdnyc's comments. Created a $scope.centerOnPlayhead function devoted solely to centering on the playhead in Javascript.  This avoids the calculates required in Python to determine the playhead's current time position since the Javascript side already knows it.

5d5da4e  2019-08-31 Brad Kartchner           Added the ability to center the timeline view at an arbitrary time.  Currently, this can be used by the user to automatically jump to the current playhead position rather than manually searching for it.  The timeline also recenters itself when jumping to a marker or to the beginning or end of the timeline.

6b9a9ca  2019-03-08 eisneinechse             Removed the branch for low fixed bitrate q values as it did not work with mpeg2 export. Now for low fixed bitrates no presets for the q values are set. TODO find the optimum q values for each codec for low and high bitrates
6a21c98  2019-03-08 eisneinechse             Fixed q values for low fixed bitrates. Low bitrates should now be produced if desired. DOTO fine tune the q values

d07e851  2018-12-08 eisneinechse             Hardware decode and encode can now be configured completely in Preferences->Performance. The old enable hardware decode is disabled. Now the graphics card can be chosen (0 is the first one) that should be used for encode and/or decode. They needn't be the same! nVidia decode still not working nVidia encode is working with driver 396 Vaapi should be working. mesa-va-drivers must be installed for AMD  i965-va-driver must be installed for intel GPUs. Using one card to decode and one to encode an option with laptops with an iGPU and a dedicated GPU (dGPU), as an example.
7cadeb3  2018-11-26 eisneinechse             More cleanup
1713fec  2018-11-26 eisneinechse             More adjustments to enable hardware decode with nvdec/cuvid
e7f2494  2018-11-26 eisneinechse             First changes to make hardware accelerated DECODE work with decoders other than vaapi. Encode is already working for nvenc; nvidia driver 396 has to be installed for nvenc to work. On nVidia card turn accelerated decode off in Preferences->Performance for now
514cb11  2018-11-25 eisneinechse             When multiple graphics cards are installed the import with hardware acceleration has to have the card number set or the opening of the device will fail. TODO check multiple formats. Right now only the first is checked which is vaapi.
325f58f  2018-11-15 eisneinechse             Changes to use AV1 if ffmpeg >= 4.0 is used with libaom support
53eec32  2018-09-25 eisneinechse             In case CRF is not supported like in hardware accelerated codecs or in mpeg2 a bitrate is calculated that should be close to the one expected with the given CRF value.
1cd8401  2018-09-23 eisneinechse             Put brackets in the if statement to show that the pragma critical and the followwing command are one block.
b925a9b  2018-09-23 eisneinechse             protect add_effect with critical
0227397  2018-09-19 eisneinechse             Set the graphics card used to decode or encode by setting the environment variable HW_EN_DEVICE_SET for enncoding and HW_DE_DEVICE_SET for decoding. The first card is 0, the second 1 and so on. For now only running on Linux.
f2323da  2018-09-19 eisneinechse             Preparation to choose the graphics card not by name but by number 1, 2, 3.  First implementation just for Linux and decode
0b260a9  2018-09-18 eisneinechse             Code cleanup and move messages regarding hardware acceleration to Debug Logger
555eb1f  2018-09-18 eisneinechse             Use logger for messages about acceleration
1f36d12  2018-09-18 Jonathan Thomas          Moving delcaration outside of conditional compile logic (so Windows and Mac builds work)
161acb3  2018-09-18 eisneinechse             Include messages in the compile display to make sure the right ffmpeg version is used (>= 3.2) to get hardware acceleration
800dc87  2018-09-18 eisneinechse             Information is printed to the console where openshot was started that shows if hardware decode or siftware decode is being used
38f4bc6  2018-09-18 eisneinechse             Adding aoutput if decode device is not found
df9d1a5  2018-09-16 eisneinechse             Implement the use of CRF instead od kB/s or MB/s for some formats: VP8, VP9, h264, h265 0 crf with VP9 is lossless 0 crf with VP8, h264, h265 should be lossless
08c7f88  2018-09-14 eisneinechse             The part of the code that should get the config that is used to get the constraints of the GPU is now inside a #if . One can enable it by setting the constant in line 33 of FFmpegReader.cpp to 1. Do not enable that part unless you want to fid a way that works as it also needs the package libva-dev (Ubuntu) to be installed.
d97a1bc  2018-09-14 eisneinechse             Commented code that isn't working yet but complicates compilation by needing extra packages.
3a2d468  2018-09-13 eisneinechse             Included an if for included files not present in ffmpeg 2
10c8d69  2018-09-13 eisneinechse             Maximum width and height for hardware decode can now be set in preferences
cfcddd1  2018-09-13 eisneinechse             Still not able to retreive the maximum dimensions supported by the hardware (line 312 FFmegReader.cpp) Now using defaults of 1950 * 1100 defined in lines 35,36
a1ffa6b  2018-09-11 eisneinechse             Removed one include
4db2217  2018-09-11 eisneinechse             Fallback for hardware accelerated decode to software decode in case the GPU can noy handle the dimensions of the frame. Not yet working, va_config not yet set.

e7c1ced  2018-09-08 eisneinechse             Cleanup import video hardware accelerated and first attempt with nvidia cards. Still no error handling when the dimensions of the video are too large
16c8302  2018-09-08 eisneinechse             Basic support for nvidia encode (decode later)
f7dd2b1  2018-09-08 eisneinechse             First adjustment to later include NVENC (nvidia encoder)
6925f6f  2018-09-07 eisneinechse             Use the static scheduler in ordered clause. Otherwise OpenMP uses a scheduler it thinks is best which can be dynamic or guided. Both sometimes let other threads continue before the block is finished. That will crash the program with high thread counts and a cache that is not large enough to hold old enough frames, which leads to a crash when in some cases like transitions two different frames are used although one is no longer in the cache. The static scheduler always waits until the block is finished before enabling other threads.
be979cd  2018-09-06 eisneinechse             Accelerated encode now supported by Windows and Mac. Only tested on Linux though due to absense of hardware/software. Tested to compile on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, and 18.10 Acceleration only available on systems with ffmpeg 3.2 and up Very early code, work in progress. Issues to be fixed soon:  if hardware cannot decode because the size is too big it keeps trying.  more interfaces supported like vdpau in Linux  error handling  user interface Many commented lines of code are still in the source to help people start who may want to help.
063faef  2018-09-04 eisneinechse             Hardware acceleration for Windows and Mac, still disabled but code is there. This should show where modifications are to be made to support Linux, Mac, and Windows Only decoding, encoding will follow soon
314177b  2018-09-02 eisneinechse             Let the user choose which installed graphics card to use for decoding HW_DE_DEVICE_SET and/or encoding HW_EN_DEVICE_SET Possible options are /dev/dri/renderD128 for the first, /dev/dri/renderD129 for the second, and so on.
384b6e0  2018-08-31 eisneinechse             Set limit of threads for OpenMP and ffmpeg by setting the environment variables LIMIT_OMP_THREADS and LIMIT_FF_THREADS If they are not set the normal values are used
340803e  2018-08-31 eisneinechse             Initial rudimentary support for hardware acceleration (encode and decode) Only Linux vaapi for now
6b5e2d4  2018-08-12 Jonathan Thomas          Moving `omp taskwait` to after the ProcessVideoPacket() method, since that is the only place it is useful.
8216795  2018-08-12 Jonathan Thomas          Adding environment checking to enable/disable omp taskwait after each video/audio frame is processed. This is experimental for some users with crashes.
95abdcf  2018-08-11 Jonathan Thomas          FFmpeg4 support. Compile warnings fixes. Credit goes to many people, including ferdnyc, peterM, and other awesome folks!

OpenShot 2.4.4 Released | Keyframe Scaling, Docking, and More!

jonathan@openshot.org (Jonathan) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 06:12:20 +0000

I am proud to announce the immediate release of OpenShot 2.4.4, the absolute best version yet! This is going to be a long post, but here is a quick summary for those who are short on time. This release brings huge performance and stability improvements, along with some major bug fixes, lots of polish, and many new features.

>> Download v2.4.4 Now <<

Keyframe Scaling

This is perhaps one of the best bug fixes included in this release. Keyframes contain actual frame numbers and their values, and thus, switching to different frame rates and/or exporting to different frame rates, has many unexpected consequences, such as every single keyframe coming too early or too late. This is now fixed, so keyframes and animations are correctly scaled when changing frame rates!

Timeline & Preview Performance

Stability and performance are extremely important for OpenShot, and historically have been our greatest technical challenge. As usual, lots of improvements have been made in this area. Some of the stand-out improvements include: special handling for certain audio files to better handle the 1-frame video track, updated Angular and timeline speed improvements, improvements to image caching, and improved “missing frame” logic which helps prevent freezes while searching for a frame which will never come.

Improved SVG Rendering

OpenShot is now compatible with resvg, an amazing SVG rendering library. A big thanks to RazrFalcon for helping us with the integration! This improves our SVG overlay and title rendering, supporting much more of the SVG standard. The resvg library is included with our official downloads and installers, but might take much longer to reach official Linux repositories (since resvg is not available in many repos). Hopefully the integration with OpenShot will help resvg move in that direction.

Improved Docking & Tracks

One of the most significant updates to docking is the new full size properties widget, which can be on the left or right side of OpenShot. This displays more information without scrolling as much, and is very useful when editing or animating. A big thanks to Frank Dana (ferdnyc) on making this a reality. Also, many improvements have been made when inserting a new track, which makes it extremely fast even on huge projects, and easy to “undo” if needed. Also, many bug fixes relating to “Track Name” are included, and custom named tracks are supported on all dialogs.

Improved Windows Installer

If you have previously experienced issues launching OpenShot on Windows, we have created a new wiki article with troubleshooting steps. In addition, our Windows installer now looks for conflicting DLLs, and renames them during install, and should resolve a great number of issues. These conflicting DLLs are being added to System32 by some unknown 3rd party software (which should never be done), and are superseding the ones included with OpenShot. This can also easily be reversed (since we just rename the files). However, in general, our new Windows installer should help a bunch of people who previously could not launch OpenShot.

Relative File Paths

Once a project file (*.osp) is saved in version 2.4.4, some magic happens. All file paths are converted into relative paths, even paths contained in the undo/redo history, thumbnail paths, file paths, and any other paths found in the project data. Upon re-opening your project, all paths are once again converted into absolute file paths. This allows a project folder to be completely portable, and can be moved on the same machine, can be moved to another machine, and even another operating system… and will still open just fine! This “kind of” worked before, but should now work excellent and with great stability.

User-Defined Export Presets

Have a favorite export preset that is not included in OpenShot by default? No problem. Just create a text file in the /users/USER/.openshot_qt/presets/ folder. You can copy one of our existing presets to get you started. Next time you launch OpenShot and open the Export dialog, you will see your custom preset listed.

New Languages: Hindi, Arabic, Chinese

For many years I have dreamed of including full Hindi, Arabic, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) support in both OpenShot and openshot.org. I was finally able to help fund this effort, to help out the OpenShot translator community, and help get us to 100% complete translations in all 3 of these languages. I am very proud of this, and hopefully this effort will help engage people from these languages, and introduce OpenShot to a whole new world of people!

Constant Rate Factor Support (CRF)

We have added support for constant rate factor, which required some refactoring of libopenshot::FFmpegWriter. A big thanks to Peter (you are the best)! This can be utilized in any export preset, and is currently used by our VP9 preset.

Integrated Changelog

Do you ever wonder what changes are included in your currently installed version of OpenShot? Now you can find out! Use the Help->About OpenShot->Changelog dialog, and you can quickly see what commits, the date of each commit, and you can even right click and view the GitHub commit information. I know I might be the only person excited by this, but yay!

Waveform Improvements

When splitting clips which displayed waveforms, the newly split clip would no longer display any waveform data. This has been a long time bug report, and is finally fixed in this release! Thanks to everyone for patience on this one, and I’m glad that it’s finally resolved.

Improved Release Testing

One of my goals for 2019 is to make the development process for OpenShot as transparent as possible, and document absolutely every detail of OpenShot’s release cycle, release testing, and release flow. Included in this documentation is a completely new process for testing OpenShot before a release. Instead of this task being done primarily by myself, I’m hoping that this more transparent and documented approach will allow other contributors to fully test OpenShot and help me out in this area. And for the record, I successfully completed the new release testing process for all 3 OSes (Linux, Mac, and Windows). I actually found many issues while working through the testing plan and resolved them all prior to release. It felt great to actually see the validation of why a more rigorous testing plan is necessary.

New User Community

Over the past few months, our long-time user community / forum (http://www.openshotusers.com) died. Where can a new user ask questions? Where can users have rich discussions on problems, requested features, work-arounds, ideas, etc…? Introducing the official OpenShot subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenShot/. So, please join the community, help answer questions, and hang out with us OpenShot people!

Full-Time Development

After giving more than 10 years of my life to this project and this community, I am finally working full-time on OpenShot. I had only dreamed of OpenShot becoming a full-time career, but I am so incredibly humbled and honored that OpenShot continues to grow, improve, and that I have scratched together enough money to work on this full-time! Hold on tight, because 2019 is going to be the most significant one yet for OpenShot!

Get Involved

Have you been casually following OpenShot for a long time? Do you have amazing ideas for improving OpenShot? Do you want to help spark “video editing joy” in the world? Send an email to hello@openshot.org and introduce yourself. It’s really that easy to get involved with OpenShot on any level, and you certainly don’t need to be a programmer either. All skills, all skill levels, and all people are welcome to join our developer community, share ideas, laugh, and make OpenShot more awesome! Still not convinced or just don’t have any time to contribute? You can always send a donation (and get your name featured in our credits)!

OpenShot 2.4.2 Released | More Effects, More Stable, More Fun!

jonathan@openshot.org (Jonathan) — Sat, 30 Jun 2018 21:32:02 +0000

Happy summer! Version 2.4.2, the latest and greatest OpenShot Video Editor is now available (after a long wait), and we have lots of great improvements to share! We have exciting new effects, tons of bug fixes, and more stability and performance enhancements! Let's dive right in!

I am so excited about this release, and although it's been in development for a long time, it addresses so many important bugs and improvements! Let's start off with the highlights, and then below is a giant list with more details for those who are interested.

7 New Effects (Crop, Hue, Color Shift, Pixelate, Bars, Wave, Shift)

Each of these new effects could have their own blog posts and tutorials (and probably will soon). Each effect was created from scratch for OpenShot 2.4.2, and are all fully keyframable, and can be combined with each other. This creates millions of interesting possibilities (some combinations are shown in the video above). Animated pixelization boxes, animated cinematic aspect ratios, and so much more! As you can probably tell, I'm really excited about them!

Auto Audio Mixing

When enabled, clips can utilize 3 different audio mixing strategies, for cases when clips are overlapping and competiting for audio volume. For example, a background audio track can automatically lower its volume when an overlapping voice clip needs to play. It is currently disabled by default (on new clips), but can easily be turned on in the clip properties.

Auto Rotate

Photos or videos with rotation metadata will be automatically rotated in OpenShot (requires a somewhat newer version of FFmpeg though). Take a vertical video, or a horizontal photo with your phone, and likely it contains this rotation metadata... and OpenShot will display it correctly.

Improved Audio Playback

Audio playback and mixing has been an area of weakness for OpenShot, and continues to be an area of focus for improvements. Many bug fixes and improvements have been made, and many users will notice less popping, smoother mixing, and less issues in this area. But there is still work which needs to be done, and will continue to be improved further.

Improved Stability

With each release of OpenShot, stability continues to be improved. Most crashes are reported on Windows builds, although we still have too many crashes on all OSes. Some crashes are caused by dependencies, and some are caused by multi-threaded race conditions or memory corruption. Version 2.4.2 for windows is wayyyyy more stable now, and for the first time, is being offered as both a 64 bit and 32 bit version. Many schools still use older 32bit CPUs and have often requested this. Also, our 32-bit builds are now large memory aware, and can support more memory, making crashes much less likely for lower powered computers.

Improved Export Dialog

OpenShot's export dialog now displays progress in the window title, including some performance metrics (encoding frames per second and estimated completion time).

New Codec Support (including experimental)

AAC is now the default audio codec for many presets, which allows OpenShot to create videos which are more widely compatible with all OSes, devices, and web browsers. Also, experimental codecs supported by FFmpeg and LibAV can be used in OpenShot for the first time.

Growing Team of Developers

I am so proud of the volunteers who have been contributing their time to OpenShot over the past many months. Team OpenShot has slowly been gaining more contributors on GitHub, and our users have been so helpful in reporting bugs, updating GitHub tickets, and providing steps to help us reproduce issues. We are still struggling to keep up with the number of GitHub issues, and are trying our best to keep them grouped, de-duped, and organized by priorities. We could still use some help in this area, if anyone is interested!

Dramatically Improved Build System

OpenShot has migrated its build system to GitLab, and moved our development flow to GitFlow. We now have a world-class build system, new installers for every branch and every commit, integration with GitHub, LaunchPad, Slack, and openshot.org. This has been empowering our contributors to create custom branches with experimental features, and out pops 4 installers (Linux, Mac, Windows x86, Windows x64). We have a total of 6 servers now contributing to our builds, git synchronization, status checks, unit tests, and installers.

Join Us

If you enjoy OpenShot, or would like to see it improved in specific ways, please consider joining our team. All skill and skill levels are welcome, and there are a ton of ways to contribute: documentation, testing, GitHub issue management, programming in C++ or Python, art and design, translations, or maybe you just want to be a cheer leader or offer up ideas! The only requirement is a love for open-source and OpenShot. =) If you are unable to contribute with your time, you can also contribute with a donation, and get your name listed in the credits of OpenShot!

Full list of features / commits below:

libopenshot-audio 0.1.6 so:6

Fix under-linking (pthread and dl), fixes #3
Integration of GitLab build pipelines

libopenshot 0.2.0 so:15

Auto audio mixing strategy per clip (average, reduce, or none)
Adding new crop effect, which can also be animated for some very cool effects.
Adding new Color Shift effect, which can shift any color (RGBA) with infinite wrapping (and full supports animation).
Adding new Pixelate video effect, which pixelates a portion (or all) of a frame's image, and is fully animatable.
Adding new video effect: Bars, which allow for animating colored bars around your video, such as a letterbox effect.
Adding new wave video effect, which can be animated in a ton of ways to create lots of cool wave distortion effects.
Adding Hue video effect, to adjust the hue of a frame's image, which can also be animated with a keyframe
Adding new effect: Shift, an infinite pixel shifting effect which can be animated and wrap images in any direction.
Auto-Rotates any Clip with Reader metadata 'rotate' attribute.
Experimental codecs now supported in FFmpeg/LibAV
Audio popping during preview (due to resampling)
Fixing brightness and Mask effects to calculate factor with a float type, giving more fine control
Fix Blur.cpp by copying blur_<chan> values back to <chan> so horizontal *andvertical blurs can be applied in one effect and blur accumulates with increased iterations
Update and apply frame mapper on any clip changes, to keep timeline offsets in sync (i.e. avoid audio popping due to slight misalignments of clips on the timeline).
Removing old frames from WorkingCache (when no longer needed). This helps prevent freezing looking for old frame data on certain videos.
Adding metadata from format, audio stream, and video streams to ReaderBase.info, which in some cases includes the 'rotate' metadata added by certain cameras, and audio metadata like title, album, artist, copyright, dates, etc...
Added in metadata encoding capabilities (writer.info.metadata["title"] = "My Title"). Only certain tag names are accepted (see FFmpeg for more on which tags are supported by which codecs).
Optimize and improve speed of Mask effect (used by transitions). This is way faster than before!
Fixing assignement and copy operators on Frame class (to prevent crashes for unintiailized image and audio pointers), and ensuring both copy and assignment operators work as expected.
Fixing the color property of Frames, which was being lost on some constructors.
Increase valid frame rates to 240 fps since many cameras now support this higher frame rate
Fixing regression on Clip constructor, and simplifying pointer initialization
Fixing a bug with Frame::AddImage (convertToFormat) not actually doing anything. It returns a new image, and does not convert the format in-place.
Preventing crash if Seek invoked before QtPlayer are initialized properly
FFMPEG 3.2 support for FFmpegWriter
FFMPEG 3.2 support for FFmpegReader
Fixing FFmpeg version breakage in FFmpegWriter
Increasing the default amount of cache in FFmpeg, based on the # of processors, to better support high framerate videos.
Changing some Seek values to be more accurate, and fixes a race condition with Timeline_Tests.cpp.
Changing some sleep() calls to usleep(), for more accuracy. This is a bit experimental, and hopefully will work on all OSes.
Do not clobber gainFactor when determining volume adjustments and add a TODO note about current_max_volume always being 0
Removing anchor from clip properties (since it is unused)
Adding "dbghelp" dependency for Windows builds (for crash handling support), and improved Windows build instructions using MSYS2.
Properly set test media files path, fixes #36
Fixing black frames at end of video clips, if audio stream longer than video stream, and end-of-stream is reached.
Integration of GitLab build pipelines
Faster Windows builds
Fixing audio unit tests
Avoid mixing audio for clips with no volume or disabled audio.
Updating cmake file for libopenshot-audio to search $ENV first, and then static folders
Add missing type cast
Spelling and typo fixes

openshot-qt 2.4.2

More detailed export dialog progress, including estimate time remaining, FPS, and more accurate percentage. Thanks Peter!
Defaulting to AAC audio codec
Improving zoom scale calculation, to use a custom bezier curve (zoom gets faster and faster the more you zoom out). 30 levels of precision between 1 second and 7200 seconds.
Auto-rotate for Readers with 'rotate' metadata. This requires a slightly newer version of FFmpeg, otherwise the 'rotate' tag is never found.
Adding new Crop video effect
Adding new Color Shift video effect (with temp icon)
Adding Pixelate video effect, which can animate a pixelated version of part (of all) of a video clip.
Adding new Bars video effect, which allow for animating colored bars around your video, such as a letterbox effect.
Adding new Wave video effect
Adding Hue video effect
Adding new Shift effect (which allows for shifting the image in any direction and allows for animation, with infinite wrapping)
Support for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows builds, and an update to the Windows dependencies (and installer size reduction).
32-bit version of Windows is now large address aware, and can make use of more memory, but users might need to run this command first: 'bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072' in order to utilize this
No longer crash app if user settings cannot be read. Now we show a message box and reset the user settings.
Adding save indicator in window title
Retain track parameters during add/remove track
Update titles to be compatible with newer versions of Inkscape
Always apply mapper when opening a project, to ensure no audio starts popping for different framerate projects

Git Changes

Implementing GitFlow for project (develop, release, and master branches)
Protected branches (on all repos), preventing direct pushes
Must pass unit tests and status checks before merges allowed
Must go through the Pull/Merge Request flow to be merged into a protected branch
Automated git repo syncing between GitHub->GitLab->Launchpad
Automated GitLab CI build pipelines (all builds, tests, installers, daily installers, are run through GitLab CI now)
Builds and installers also support any branch, making feature branches and test branches much more useful, since we can share installers for them
