What's Changed
See a nicely formatted page on the web site.
- Fixed security flaws in upgrade and Whisper downloads (failed HTTPS was retried over HTTP, certificate errors could be ignored, and a downloaded file could be used without a trusted digest).
- Fixed Mask: Draw (Glaxnimate) filter, Operation > Subtract for 8-bit processing mode (broke in version 25.12).
- Fixed using Size, Position & Rotate with Mask: Apply filters (broke in version 25.12).
- Improved audio quality by removing a conversion to 16-bit integer and keeping the pipeline in 32-bit float.
- Fixed LV2 external audio plugins not loading on Windows (unless
LV2_PATHenvironment var set explicitly). - Fixed VA-API HEVC hardware encoder on Linux.
- Fixed Show in Folder not working with non-ASCII characters on Linux.
- Fixed Import Subtitles from File not working on Windows.
- Fixed Subtitles view shows incorrect duration (broke in version 26.8).
- Fixed moving Timeline clip next to another with snap while zoomed out may insert 1 blank frame.
- Fixed copy and pasting a Timeline transition corrupt audio in the pasted transition.
- Fixed window title bar missing on Linux with Settings > Display Method > Vulkan.
- Fixed marker unexpectedly deleted when moving a clip to the left with Ripple Markers on.
- Fixed keyframes on Timeline > Split after a transition.
- Fixed Export job may report failure even though file was completed successfully.
- Fixed some buffer overflow security issues in PGM/wipe reading in MLT and Set Equirectangular in Shotcut.
- Fixed projects deleted from disk still appear in Projects.
- Fixed
Ctrl+UpandCtrl+Downcannot change current track when Timeline loses focus. - Fixed Player > External Monitor > DeckLink (and related such as UltraStudio) HDMI/SDI may deadlock.
- Fixed MLT XML nested clip's length (duration) not updated, now updates when selected but needs manual trim to increase clip.
- Fixed redundant context menu on text edit controls in filters on Windows (broke in v26.8).
- Fixed open project on a mounted CIFS/SMB share on Linux kernel 7.1 and above.
- Fixed possible crash when trying to add subtitle item in the last half second of the timeline.
- Hardened MP4 parsing in Set Equirectangular in Properties and export job context menu.
- Changed Settings > Leave Safe Mode to an always-present Allow External Plugins checkbox that defaults to off.
This helps prevent the problem that some VST2 plugins on Windows and macOS are causing startup and shutdown (including export) problems. - Detect a stuck application startup to automatically disable external plugins.
- Added Automatic Audio Ducking for audio to timeline track Properties.
- Changed Adjust Clip Gain for timeline clips to require
Ctrl+Alt(option+commandon macOS) to drag.
This makes it safe from inadvertent changes while selecting and dragging clips. So, now that setting
defaults on again. Also, a tooltip was added to the clip's audio line. - Added volume control and audio level meter/indicator to Timeline track headers.
This effectively makes the track header column a mixing console without needing to clutter the UI with a new panel.
The gain filter this adds to the track is keyframable. - Added Timeline > Generate > Adjustment Clip. This is a dummy video clip that contributes no video.
Instead, its filters apply to the composite of all video tracks below it. - Added
application.triggerAction(name),multitrack.clipStart(), andtimeline.split()functions for scripts. - Added a context menu with Copy to Missing Files dialog and View > Resources.
- Improved the performance of the Timeline: moving clips to another track, zooming, undo for many operations (except for ripple move/trim).
- Improved the appearance of the user interface to be more modern with rounded corners in many places.
- New logo
- Upgraded FFmpeg to version 9.0
