OpenShot Video Editor (Daily Build)

About

OpenShot Video Editor is a free, open-source video editor described as easy to use, quick to learn, and surprisingly powerful. It offers color grading with color wheels, curves, LUTs, and scopes such as histograms, waveforms, vectorscopes, and RGB parade scopes. Users can apply effects such as lens flares, chroma key, blur, and brightness, and animate properties with keyframes. Keyframe animation covers position, scale, rotation, opacity, volume, and effect settings, while the timeline supports trimming and arranging video, audio, and images across unlimited tracks with snapping, waveforms, and frame-accurate controls.

The editor also includes interactive video masks, which let users select a subject or region, refine the generated mask, and preview the composite inside OpenShot, as well as audio visualization effects that turn music, voice, or sound into animated waveforms, spectrum bars, and radial visualizations. The website states that OpenShot is free to download and use, with no subscriptions, watermarks, or project limits.

The page highlights version 4.0.1, with recent updates including an improved Razor tool, faster color and animation editing, and Linux Snap support, as well as version 4.0's screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio recording directly into a project. The website text does not specifically describe this as a Mac-only build, so the Mac-specific details are not confirmed by the source.
