OpenShot 4.0: Record, Edit, and Color Like Never Before
OpenShot 4.0 brings major creative upgrades: a dedicated Color View with color wheels, curves, LUTs, and professional scopes; a Recording View for capturing screen, webcam, and audio directly into projects; ten new effects including audio visualizations and beat sync; and local AI-powered object masks that run on your computer without cloud services. The update also improves timeline performance and expands Qt 6 support for modern Linux distributions.
Most importantly, this workflow runs locally.

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.

Why does open source software tend to lack quality / usable design?

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.
