OpenShot 4.0 has arrived, bringing some of the biggest creative workflow upgrades in our history. You can now record your screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio directly into a project. You can correct and grade footage with color wheels, curves, LUTs, and professional video scopes. You can also isolate subjects with locally run machine learning models and create everything from animated audio visualizations to cinematic film looks. It is a major step toward a faster, more complete, and more creative OpenShot.

OpenShot 3.5.1 makes editing faster, smoother, and more polished than ever. It adds a built-in Optimize Preview workflow for smoother editing, improves performance and responsiveness, upgrades timeline zooming and trimming, and delivers a long list of important fixes and usability improvements.

Optimizing a video creates a smaller, faster version for editing, so playback, scrubbing, trimming, and previews feel smoother without changing your final export quality.

Buckle up, everyone. OpenShot 3.5 has arrived, and it is one of the biggest releases in our 18-year history. From a much faster timeline to better exports, improved GPU acceleration, smarter effects, and stronger stability, this release moves OpenShot forward in a big way. I am incredibly proud of it, and I cannot wait for everyone to try it.
