Since the announcement is, frustratingly, low on details, did they implement the usual hue vs hue, hue vs sat, etc. controls? I don't do much color grading but my line of work requires using multiple cameras, thus I enjoy using a color chart to match the video clips. With a vectorscope and with the color chart I could quickly do basically everthing I need with this software instead of relying in Resolve, if only it offered those controls

Just check the documentation: https://zh.openshot.org/files/user-guide/color.html

Adtech cookie banner on a .org domain for a thing whose name starts with „Open“? No thanks. Won‘t look further.

Oh come on, they only have 210 "partners" they give your data to!
magicalhippo•54m ago
You jest, but with even trivial sites having 900+ so-called partners, "only" does indeed seem apt.
LoganDark•40m ago
I feel like the only way to have this many "partners" as is to inherit them, at least if you're 'trivial'. Like, they probably chose some ad or tracking script that has so many partners.
bonoboTP•49m ago
Its name starts with Open because it's open-source / free software (GNU GPLv3).
TheChaplain•43m ago
Your loss then. Although I prefer KDEnlive, OpenShot is not a bad video editor.

And I don't think it's a terrible thing for an open source developer to try to earn a few coins.

Schlagbohrer•1h ago
Has anyone tried having a local agent (like Qwen) use this? I wonder how good the API is for programmatic / CLI usage.
drob518•15m ago
That was the first question that popped into my head as well. We’re now in the age of “AI all the things,” so it seems like every app needs an API or CLI of some sort. Everything needs to be machine accessible.
bewareofscams•59m ago
How does this compare to After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Davinci Resolve?

I am pretty sure, this thing solves half of the problems the above solve, and it does it half-good.

Matl•53m ago
I am pretty sure you haven't tried it yourself. I am also pretty sure the software you mention is significantly more expensive or at least not open source.

Which makes me pretty sure yours was a useless comment.

bewareofscams•49m ago
I have tried the ones I have mentioned, and I hadn't tried this one, - which is precisely why I am asking!

No need for snarky "but ours is foss smugface" comments.

Not to say, your comment make me pretty sure you hadn't tried either of mentioned by me, and does not take video editing seriously.

Matl•37m ago
I use and pay for DaVinci Resolve Studio on Linux myself, so yes I have tried them and yes, they're obliviously more feature packed and polished than OpenShot is.

OpenShot is however significantly easier to use and does what you need for casual editing. If you want a step above that and still FLOSS then Kdenlive is a better choice.

What makes your original comment useless is that it reads like an American saying, 'I bet our GDP is bigger than Nauru's' - like what is the point? You know the answer already. An open source video editor is unlikely to be as good as DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci has multiplicity of the resources OpenShot/Kdenlive etc. do.

So again, what is your point?

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.
jonathanstrange•27m ago
If it had VST support I could use it instead of DaVinci Resolve.
localtoast2•21m ago
This is one of those occasions where a video would be appropriate.
At least we can agree in our mutual disdain towards american way of thinking *shaking hands*
throwthrowuknow•8m ago
I can’t help but laugh at this, it’s like a comedy skit with two people with different European accents accusing each other of being American.
bonoboTP•52m ago
It's FLOSS (GPLv3). There are very few free software video editors. Another good one is kdenlive, which a few years back I liked better that OpenShot.
bewareofscams•50m ago
This does not answer my question, I need something that can do thing, not how it is licensed. I have used Kdenlive, and it's nowhere near either of these functionality-wise, and struggles with big files.
bonoboTP•45m ago
Unlikely to be near that polish and feature completeness. If you ask "then what's the point?", for now the answer is the license and the source availability.
bewareofscams•43m ago
I've asked "how it compares", not "what's the point" -__-
GlacierFox•4m ago
You'll no get any sense from open source abdolutionists. Your question will not compute.
mschuetz•5m ago
I've had great experienced with it. It's almost certainly not as full-featered as premiere pro, but it runs buttery smooth and robust, while Premiere Pro kept crashing frequently and was a bit tedious to use for simple tasks.
