New Release Coming Soon

Just a quick note that I'm planning on releasing a new version of OpenShot very soon (much quicker turn-around than normal). I have lots of translation updates, and some really critical bug fixes that I want to get out as soon as possible.

I just fixed an especially nasty bug, caused by deleting a clip, clicking undo to bring the clip back, and then some crazy stuff starts to happen (missing menus, properties are not displayed, and moving the clip results in a hard-crash... ouch)!

Razor tool has returned!

Although I thought the new "Slice" menu and keyboard shortcuts (CTRL-K) in OpenShot 2.0 were very easy to cut clips, I keep getting emails and requests for the original razor tool from OpenShot 1.0. So, I finally caved in and the razor tool is back!

It's actually more powerful than before... using CTRL and SHIFT modifiers, to only keep the left or right sides of what you cut (if you are just wanting to shave the ends off). 

A new version is getting very, very close!

Free Transform in Video Preview Window

Greetings! I've been working on some really cool stuff over the past 30 days (or so), and wanted to share a sneak preview to my patrons. =) Although it's been pretty tricky (programming wise), I now have a free transform prototype working. It allows the user to easily drag the position of the video on the screen, resize the video (with or without aspect ratio), and fully supports the various scale modes and gravity options. At some point I'll add in rotation and skew also (but I'm not sure how t...
