OpenShot 4.1 is here! Text comes to life directly on your video, heavy 4K+ footage gets automatically optimized for high-performance editing, and our new command-line interface (CLI) lets you or an AI agent like Claude Code or Codex build entire videos. From the first title to the final export, you’re in control.

Building on the recording and color tools introduced in OpenShot 4.0, this release gives you new ways to create and more power to get things done. Open-source and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Three releases in three months. Let’s go!

OpenShot 4.0.1 brings a major upgrade to the Razor tool, faster color and animation editing, and a timeline that keeps clip controls within reach as you zoom and scroll. We have also been working through your bug reports, fixing crashes, strengthening undo and project saving, and improving recording reliability. There is a lot packed into this update.

If you have been exploring the color tools and recording features introduced in OpenShot 4.0, there is plenty here to make your next edit smoother. We are also welcoming Linux users to our first official Snap package. OpenShot is an open-source video editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
