Thelatest official stable version of OpenShot Video Editor for Linux,Mac, Chrome OS, and Windows can be downloaded from the official download page at You can find our latest unstable versions(i.e. daily builds) at (these versions areupdated very frequently, and often contain many improvements not yet released in our stablebuild).
If you are upgrading from a previous version of OpenShot or are experiencing a crash or errormessage after launching OpenShot, please see Reset (Default Values) for instructions on clearingthe previous openshot.settings file (for a clean install with default preferences).
Download the Windows installer from the official download page (the download page contains both 64-bit and32-bit versions), double click it, and follow the directions on screen. Once completed,OpenShot will be installed and available in your Start menu.
If you need to install OpenShot on Windows without Administrator permissions,we also support a portable installation process. Download the Windows installerfrom the official download page, open the command prompt,and type the following commands:
Download the DMG file from the official download page, double click it, and then drag the OpenShot applicationicon into your Applications shortcut. This is very similar to how most Mac applications areinstalled. Now launch OpenShot from Launchpad or Applications in Finder.
Once downloaded, right click on the AppImage, choose Properties, and mark the file as Executable.Finally, double click the AppImage to launch OpenShot. If double clicking does not launch OpenShot, you can alsoright click on the AppImage, and choose Execute or Run. For a detailed guide on installing our AppImageand creating a launcher for it, see ourAppImage Installation Guide.
Please verify that the libfuse2 library is installed, which is required to mount and read an AppImage.On newer versions of Ubuntu (i.e. 22.04+), libfuse2 is not installed by default. You can install it withthe following command:
Chrome OS supports Linux apps, but this feature is off by default. You can turn it on in Settings.Once Linux is enabled, you can install and run OpenShot Linux AppImages on any x86-basedChromebook. The command below will download our AppImage and configure your system to runOpenShot successfully.
To download old versions of OpenShot Video Editor, you can visit -qt/tags.Click on the version number you need, and scroll to the bottom, under the release notes. You will finddownload links for each operating system. Download the appropriate version for your computer, andfollow the installation instructions above.
I tried it on my chromebook. Running uname -m showed the architecture to be "aarch64". So I downloaded the appimage with aarch64 in the name. The GTK2 one did not work for me (missing library), but the GTK3 one did run.
Changing image files got the slicer working. The file system cannot directly write to the SD Card and I noticed some file access errors on Linux command line editor so I am may try the third image file in the build. But all the non-file system features of the Prusa Slicer work without any issues.
We have improved the image processing pipeline in OpenShot to create sharper images, by switching our image scaling algorithm, and most importantly, only scaling a frame once, as opposed to multiple times (which used to happen in certain scenarios). This results in a noticeably sharper image, and slightly better performance.
The video preview capabilities in OpenShot have been improved to better handle higher framerate videos (50 fps, 60 fps, 120 fps). This results in a smoother playback experience, and less jittering and freezing with certain preview profiles.
Right after our previous release (in September 2017) we made some very large changes to libopenshot to better support Windows (with respect to certain data types in C++). This fixes many, many Windows issues, including audio file
s stopping early, sync/desync issues, videos stopping at 30 minutes (or at an earlier time), opening project files with non-English characters, and more. If you have had any issues on Windows, please give this new version a try.
Each of these new effects could have their own blog posts and tutorials (and probably will soon). Each effect was created from scratch for OpenShot 2.4.2, and are all fully keyframable, and can be combined with each other. This creates millions of interesting possibilities (some combinations are shown in the video above). Animated pixelization boxes, animated cinematic aspect ratios, and so much more! As you can probably tell, I'm really excited about them!
When enabled, clips can utilize 3 different audio mixing strategies, for cases when clips are overlapping and competiting for audio volume. For example, a background audio track can automatically lower its volume when an overlapping voice clip needs to play. It is currently disabled by default (on new clips), but can easily be turned on in the clip properties.
Photos or videos with rotation metadata will be automatically rotated in OpenShot (requires a somewhat newer version of FFmpeg though). Take a vertical video, or a horizontal photo with your phone, and likely it contains this rotation metadata... and OpenShot will display it correctly.
Audio playback and mixing has been an area of weakness for OpenShot, and continues to be an area of focus for improvements. Many bug fixes and improvements have been made, and many users will notice less popping, smoother mixing, and less issues in this area. But there is still work which needs to be done, and will continue to be improved further.
With each release of OpenShot, stability continues to be improved. Most crashes are reported on Windows builds, although we still have too many crashes on all OSes. Some crashes are caused by dependencies, and some are caused by multi-threaded race conditions or memory corruption. Version 2.4.2 for windows is wayyyyy more stable now, and for the first time, is being offered as both a 64 bit and 32 bit version. Many schools still use older 32bit CPUs and have often requested this. Also, our 32-bit builds are now large memory aware, and can support more memory, making crashes much less likely for lower powered computers.
AAC is now the default audio codec for many presets, which allows OpenShot to create videos which are more widely compatible with all OSes, devices, and web browsers. Also, experimental codecs supported by FFmpeg and LibAV can be used in OpenShot for the first time.
