This release adds a new Audio API on Linux to make the –SDL_AUDIODRIVER command line option available in the Settings menu.
Coming two months after Shotcut 23.11, Shotcut 24.01 is now available for download as the latest stable version of this open-source, free, and cross-platform video editor for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems.
Highlights of Shotcut 24.01 include the implementation of an Audio API under Settings > Player on Linux and Windows systems to make the –SDL_AUDIODRIVER command line option available in the Settings menu, new backup options to create backups of the current project file hourly, daily (default), or weekly, and support for multiple selections to the Split At Playhead feature.
This release also adds Player > Loop () and Player > Set Loop Range to the menu and player controls, a saved multi-selection system under Timeline > Selection > Group/Ungroup, undo and redo support for adding, removing, changing, and disabling filters, as well as pause and resume options to the context menu in Jobs.
Also new in Shotcut 24.01 is a File > Other Versions submenu for helping you find similarly-named project files in the same folder created by Shotcut’s backup or recovery mechanisms, a “Previous” button in the View > Application Log dialog to navigate to the log file created by the previous app session, and a “Copy” button for all text viewer dialogs that acts the same as the “Select All” and “Copy” context menu actions.
