Release Notes Published

  • Fixed Player > External Monitor > DeckLink (and related such as UltraStudio) HDMI/SDI may deadlock.
  • Upgraded libspatialaudio to 0.4.0+.
  • Fixed export with libopus audio codec warns about frame_duration.
  • Added initial basic support for OpenFX plugins (filters) with a UI for NTSC-rc.
    • Limited compatibility: not available, seems to do nothing, or makes the video black.
    • No support for plugins that operate temporally or require multiple image/video inputs.
    • No support for generators, transitions, or retimers.
    • No support for UI embedded in the plugin.
    • No support for GPU technologies but multi-threaded CPU works.
    • Very limited testing.
    • Looks for plugins in the standard folder for the OS.
    • None are included with Shotcut.
  • Added initial basic support for VST2 and LV2 audio plugins (filters) with a UI for Valhalla Supermassive.
    • No support for the UI embedded in the plugin.
    • No support for instruments.
    • Very limited testing.
    • Looks for plugins in the standard folder for the OS.
    • None are included with Shotcut.
  • Added menu item Settings > Leave Safe Mode.
    This appears if Shotcut crashes within 30 seconds upon startup, which restarts in a safe mode without external (OpenFX, VST2) plugins.
  • Added --experimental command line option to try out the filter UI generator.
  • Fixed Export > Ogg Vorbis with Cover Art fails (no longer fails but our Ogg integration does not support cover art).
  • Fixed Export > From > Marker using the Reframe output video filter with keyframes.
  • Fixed some toolbar icons' tooltips not showing keyboard shortcut.
  • Fixed Zoom Timeline to Fit may not scroll to start.
  • Fixed a crash using some Markers actions with nothing open.
  • Fixed using Windows UNC paths with filters, e.g. GPS Graphic.
  • Fixed extended/special characters in metadata of custom Export preset.
  • Fixed Rebuild Audio Waveform was not saving on Windows.
  • Changed Linux Snap to use a desktop environment file dialog if possible.
  • Fixed tab focus did not allow editing numeric fields in filters.
  • Added Reduce Noise: Audio (RNNoise) filter.
  • Moved Declick Audio from the Time category to Audio in the filter menu.
  • Moved menu item External Monitor from the Settings menu to the Player menu.
  • Added support for system displays in Player > External Monitor,
    incompatible with newly added Settings > Player > Use Old Video Output (necessary for Snapdragon X ARM/Windows and possibly other setups).
  • Added Player > External Monitor > Preview Window (HDR) that can be made fullscreen.
    • Incompatible with Use Old Video Output.
    • It also works for SDR.
    • HDR requires a display properly configured with HDR, Native 10-bit CPU or Linear 10-bit GPU/CPU processing modes, and HDR video sources.
    • For HDR, only use filters tagged with #gpu or #10bit.
    • The window must already be on a HDR display before opening anything with HDR.
    • HDR is not working on Linux and Windows/ARM.
  • Added Dynamic range to custom Video Mode and Timeline Properties.
    This offers SDR, which follows the colorspace, HLG HDR, and PQ HDR.
  • Added support for PQ HDR to External Monitor > DeckLink.
  • Added support for HDR to Export (automatic per Video Mode and 10-bit processing mode).
  • Added PQ HDR metadata dialogs for External Monitor > DeckLink and Export > Codec. Export only embeds PQ HDR metadata for the libx265 and libsvtav1 video codecs and no hardware encoders.
  • Fixed moving clips may create a very long gap.
  • Fixed incorrect current track after moving clip to another track.
  • Fixed undo after changing Video Mode corrupts the timeline.
  • Fixed double-click a project file in Finder with Shotcut already running on macOS.
  • Fixed zooming in the player with non-square pixels.
  • Added Settings > Timeline > Create Transitions on Overlap.
  • Added Settings > Display Method > Vulkan on Linux.
  • Fixed a possible crash when Text: Rich filter is first in the list and playhead is not over selected clip.
  • Fixed the Font style from the font dialog is overwritten on filter UI reload on Windows (broke in v26.4).
  • Fixed File > Export EDL adds 1-frame clip before transitions.
  • Fixed full-width spaces replaced by half-width spaces in Import Subtitles From File.
  • Fixed hardware scaler on Windows when using Settings > Preview Scaling > Use Hardware Decoder (broke in v26.4).
