Shotcut: baixar versions anteriors

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_PATH environment 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+Up and Ctrl+Down cannot 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+command on 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(), and timeline.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

External Monitor with a System Display
Three years ago, when we upgraded our UI library to a major new version, we lost support for using an additional system display as an external monitor. Many people were disappointed to lose that feature. Now, after a major change to the video plumbing, it is back!
The External Monitor submenu is moved from Settings to the top of the Player menu. It is incompatible with newly added Settings > Player > Use Old Video Output (provided just in case the new plumbing does not work).
The new plumbing also provides a way to preview HDR video except, for technology reasons, it must be shown in a separate window...
HDR Video Preview and Export
As a quick reminder for those unfamiliar: "HDR" means high dynamic range, not high definition resolution. It is about expanded color and light. A lot of phones and cameras are recording with this today, and many people are not aware until they try to edit and run into problems. Also, HDR game captures on computers is increasingly common. A year ago, we added very limited, hidden support for editing HDR video because, basically, we had no way to display it without a device from Blackmagic Design. Now, there is a way.
- Added Player > External Monitor > Preview Window (HDR) that can be made fullscreen.
- It also works for SDR.
- HDR requires a display properly configured with HDR, Native 10-bit CPU or Linear 10-bit GPU/CPU processing modes, and HDR video sources.
- For HDR, only use filters tagged with #gpu or #10bit.
- It does not appear to work on Linux, at least I have not been able to get it working.
- Switching between PQ HDR (HDR10) and HLG HDR requires restarting the app.
- The default shortcut to open or raise the preview window is Ctrl+`. It does not toggle between open and close because raise is more convenient.
- You can move the window by clicking anywhere inside except the controls bar and dragging.
- F toggles fullscreen and Esc also leaves fullscreen.
- Incompatible with Use Old Video Output.
- Added Dynamic range to custom Video Mode and Timeline Properties.
This offers SDR, which follows the colorspace, HLG HDR, and PQ HDR.
- At this time, Shotcut only supports converting log profile video to HDR with GPU processing mode and HLG HDR video mode.
And it cannot convert between HDR formats or combine multiple HDR formats within a project.
- Added support for PQ HDR (HDR10) to External Monitor > DeckLink.
- Added support for HDR to Export (based on Video Mode and 10-bit processing mode).
- Added HDR10 metadata dialogs for External Monitor > DeckLink and Export > Codec.
Export only embeds HDR10 metadata for the libx265 and libsvtav1 video codecs and no hardware encoders.
- TODO: Properties > Convert and View > Resources > Convert do not support 10-bit yet; that will be added in the next release.
External Plugins
We added limited support for external audio and video plugins.
"Limited" means it does not support a plugin's included UI, and our UI generator is new and experimental. That means you can only try it if you are an advanced user who knows how to supply a command line option to reveal the new UI generator. There are many mysterious effects, and uncertainty if things are working correctly. As a result, the user experience is not yet good enough with an increased risk of crash.
"External" means both effects included with Shotcut but not yet available in the UI or plugins that you install yourself to the standard, expected location for your OS.
OpenFX Image Effect Plugins
- Added a UI (--experimental not required) for NTSC-rs.
- Limited compatibility: not available, seems to do nothing, or makes the video black.
- No support for plugins that operate temporally or require multiple image/video inputs.
- No support for generators, transitions, or retimers.
- No support for the UI embedded in the plugin.
- No support for GPU technologies but multi-threaded CPU does work.
- Very limited testing. There are many plugins we have not tested especially comme

- Hold Ctrl to zoom.
- Hold Alt to scroll horizontally.
- Removed Settings > Player > Deinterlacer > Linear Blend (obsolete, removed in FFmpeg).

Hardware Video Decoding!
"What took so long?" you might ask. A good way to manage it across all operating systems and GPU vendor APIs. We have a FAQ topic about this. Management comes in the forms of operating system abstraction APIs, hardware scaling, and a threshold limiter.
Settings > Preview Scaling > Use Hardware Decoder
- Enabled by default, except with NVIDIA on Linux.
- Uses VA-API on Linux, Media Foundation on Windows, and Video Toolbox on macOS.
- Only supports codecs your hardware can decode; automatically falls back to software decoding if needed.
- May not provide a dramatic speed boost unless you use Linear 10-bit CPU processing mode or have a low-powered CPU.
- Has limited impact on seeking and scrubbing—using proxies is still recommended for smooth editing.
- Reduces CPU usage, which can help lower battery drain and keep your system cooler.
- Not integrated with GPU processing mode via 0-copy.
- Transferring uncompressed video between CPU and GPU RAM can be a bottleneck, so this feature is limited to preview scaling or 1080p-60fps (or lower) sources.
Export > Codec > Use hardware decoder
- Disabled by default, as it can sometimes increase export times.
- No resolution or frame rate limits.
- Can reduce CPU usage during export, which may be beneficial for some workflows.
(Tip: Avoid exporting videos on your lap for long periods!)
- The setting is persistent and will be remembered between sessions and projects.
- Feel free to test it on your system to see if it offers benefits for your specific hardware and workflow.
What's This?
This is contextual help! It lets you get assistance for a specific item in the user interface—just click the "What's This?" icon, then click on the UI element you want to learn about. Usually, this opens a web browser to the relevant documentation, but for some items like toolbar buttons, it may show a tooltip instead if more detailed documentation isn't available.
Comprehensive documentation is essential for this feature to be useful. Many users aren't aware that documentation exists, but it's now much more complete and accessible. The documentation is available on the website, and a PDF is generated automatically from the forum-wiki-based content. Additionally, the forum offers a Claude AI bot that can help answer questions using the documentation and release notes.
Other New Features
- Added converting a project between GPU & CPU processing modes.
- Added the Blend Mode filter and track option for the Linear 10-bit GPU/CPU processing mode.
- Increased the maximum resolution in Video Mode and Export to 8640 for 8K VR180 video.
- Added Settings > Language > Chinese (Simplified).
Changes
- Improved the appearance of outline in the text filters: Text: Simple, Typewriter, GPS Text, Subtitle Burn In and Timer.
- Changed bulk proxy generation (when you switch Settings > Proxy > Use Proxy ON) to update clips.
(Previously, you had to turn proxy mode off and back on again to start using the proxies. That requires reloading the project each time, which was a real drag.)
- Changed Timeline > Add Generator and New Generator > Add To Timeline to not seek.
This leaves the playhead over the clip it just added to facilitate preview and reduce steps.
- Changed simple keyframe defaults in Mask: From File filter to be more convenient for multi-track transitions.
Fixes
- Fixed Brightness filter with a reduced level is different when there was clip with transparency above it (broke in v25.12).
- Fixed Timeline > Record Audio would always reset the selected audio device and require re-selection (broke in v25.12).
- Fixed the Mask: Apply video filter in 10-bit processing modes (incomplete in v25.12).
- Fixed a crash in the scrub-bar on a very long playlist.
- Improved the reliability of opening URLs (Help menu), Show In Folder, Open With in the Linux AppImage/portable/Snap.
- Fixed app not responding while enqueuing very many proxy jobs.
- Fixed Previous/Next in Subtitles may be unreadable on some themes and

This version hot-fixes problems found in 25.12.30:
- Fixed nesting MLT XML stopped working.

Higher Bit Depth: 10-bit Video CPU Pipeline
What is "bit depth?" That is the number of colors or video brightness levels. 8-bit has only 256 values per color component, for example, red/green/blue. 10 bits has 1024 levels. Previously, 10-bit video sources were only partially supported using GPU Effects and only GPU filters. Without GPU Effects (CPU), in order to stay in thee 10 bit space, you could only use filters with the #10bit tag but no transitions or track blending/compositing. Now, we have ported many CPU video effects to support 10- and 12-bit video sources including transitions and track blending. Also, the #10bit CPU video filters also work properly with the experimental GPU processing. Not all of the video CPU filters have been converted; many of them come through another software project that does not support it. However, we were able to convert many for this release or at least mark them as safe for a 10-bit project.
Higher Image Quality: Linear Color Processing
Any mixing of pixels with a color space's gamma is not ideal, can cause color distortions, and is technically incorrect. This pixel mixing occurs whenever images interpolated, for example scaling, blurring, and sub-pixel positioning, as well as with track blending/composition. Previously, only GPU Effects and video filters in the GPU category operated in linear color. Now, there is an option to use it outside of the GPU processing. But when using the GPU, the handoff of the video from GPU to CPU now stays in the linear color transfer.
There is a new sub-menu in Settings > Processing Mode with options:
- Native 8-bit CPU (fast, flexible)
- Native 10-bit CPU (slower, better)
- Linear 10-bit CPU (slowest, best)
- Linear 10-bit GPU/CPU (Experimental)
Non-linear "native" options are still included because there is a signficant performance decrease when using linear (more conversions). We have a plan to improve performance for the next release. 8-bit is still included because it is more "flexible" by including more video filters. Of course, you can use an 8-bit video filter in a 10-bit, but the quality of the video clip or track will suffer a reduction in bit depth.
Other New Features
- Added a drop-down to the Filters menu's Video button to more conveniently browse appropriate filters for the current processing mode:
- GPU
- 10-bit
- Color
- RGBA
- YUV
- Changed the Filters menu to default to Color filters in the Color layout/workspace and Audio filters in the Audio layout.
- Added a visual preset browser for New > Image/Video from HTML generator.
To add a thumbnail for your custom preset add a file named <preset-name>.webp in the preset folder.
- Added Minimize Shotcut and Record Audio to Screen Snapshot and Screen Recording.
- Added support for nvenc to Screen Recording on Linux/X11.
- Added support for mov_text and SSA in Properties > Extract Subtitles.
Changes
- Changed the default for Settings > Timeline > Automatically Add Tracks to OFF (changed in v25.10).
- Changed the preset folder for the HTML generator to presets/HTML.
- Changed the VP8/9 WebM presets to offer greater control over quality and bitrate.
- Changed New > Animation (Glaxnimate) to Drawing/Animation to clarify that this is not only for animation.
- Changed New Project > Project name to not permit ? to fix unloadable project.
- Changed the Opacity video filter's maximum to 200% to support reducing translucency.
- Improved VA-API hardware encoder compatibility on our Linux AppImage, Portable, and Snap builds.
- Changed Screen Snapshot on macOS to show a toolbar to choose rectangle or fullscreen and whether to minimize.
- Removed Screen Recording on Windows 10--Snipping Tool does not support it.
- Upgrade zimg (used to convert HDR to SDR and to and from linear color) to version 3.0.6.
Fixes
- Fixed dissolve transition damages color (broke in v25.10).
- Fixed export on Windows not working with some special characters in a filename (broke in v25.10).
- Fixed Settings > Player > External Monitor

Added New > Image/Video from HTML
- This requires Google Chrome or Chromium.
- Please see the stock Presets for examples.
- It defaults to a transparent background!
- The stock presets also demonstrate a template facility for up to 3 lines of text. You can make your own templates by using %1, %2, or %3 as placeholders in the Body field.
- It is designed to make it easy to copy from codepen.io, but Shotcut does not include pre-preprocessors for things like SCSS or TypeScript. Therefore, in codepen.io click the V button in the top right corner of the edit block to choose View Compiled before copying.
- This does not support WebGL or embedded video.
- Generate Video is limited to 15 frame-per-second for performance reasons. A somewhat modern or fast computer and SSD hard drive are recommended.
- Generate automatically opens the result in the Source viewer so you can preview it with its HTML for revising if needed. Once you add it to Playlist or Timeline, Properties now reflects the image or video and no longer shows the HTML inputs.
Added Text to Speech to Notes and Subtitles
- This uses Docker like a plugin framework. The engine for this is Kokorodoki, and the model is Kokoro--both of which are not made by us. Do not ask us for more languages or voices.
- There are Docker installers for Windows and macOS from docker.com. For Linux, it is usually preferable to get it from your distribution but ensure you get the real docker and not podman or the desktop icon dock bar. On Debian-based systems, it is the docker.io package.
- The quality with subtitles is heavily dependent upon the timing and duration of each item. If it sounds choppy or cut-off, you either need to increase the speech speed and/or the item durations. Also, multi-line subtitle items are discouraged because that introduces a pause as it thinks it is like a new paragraph.
Added New > Screen Snapshot and Screen Recording
- On Windows, Screen Recording simply launches Windows' Snipping Tool provided by Microsoft. It does not create a job in Shotcut or automatically open the capture file when done. You need to either configure Snipping Tool to save to a file or click the notification that appears to view it from which you can save it. Then, you need to manually locate it and open it in Shotcut using either File > Open, the Files panel, or drag-n-drop from Explorer.
- On macOS, Screen Recording uses the screenshot utility from Apple. It starts a job in Shotcut's Jobs panel that you must right-click and choose Stop This Job.
- On Linux, Screen Recording uses the bundled ffmpeg if using X11. On Wayland, it uses GNOME Shell, KDE Spectacle, or obs if neither of those. With X11 or GNOME/Wayland it starts a job in Shotcut's Jobs panel that you must right-click and choose Stop This Job.
- Not yet available for Flatpak on Linux.
Other New Features
- Added a Text: Typewriter video filter and New Generator > Text > Typewriter.
- Added Open With and Reload to Properties.
- You can think of this as "Edit With" especially useful for images and audio files.
- There is a file watcher upon opening with another tool as long as selection (Properties) does not change. If it does, you can use Reload. This does not yet reload--whether manual or automatic--every clip object based on this file.
Changes
- Changed Export > Export File to Export Video/Audio.
- Changed Export > Search to include file name extension.
- Changed Settings > Time Format to default to Clock.
- Changed Settings > Timeline > Adjust Clip Gain/Volume to default OFF.
- Changed Settings > Timeline > Automatically Add Tracks to default ON.
- The minimum Linux glibc version increased for this release to 2.35 (Ubuntu 22.04).
- Upgraded to FFmpeg 8.
- Upgraded librarues: SVT-AV1, libaom, dav1d, libvpx, libwebp, and whisper.cpp.
Fixes
- Fixed export with '&' in the file path or name.
- Fixed the alpha channel when decoding Ut Video with alpha channel.
- Fixed starting the Linux AppImage if AppImageLauncher is installed.
- Fixed Rejo

This version fixes new bugs in the previous version 25.07. Details:
- Fixed Gain/Volume filter from a previous version project does not show its UI or keyframes (broke in v25.07).
- Fixed artifacts in Gain/Volume, Fade In Audio, and Fade Out Audio filters (broke in v25.07).
- Fixed frequent crashing in Fedora Linux RPM package (broke in v25.05).
- Fixed converting BT.709 color space to BT.2020.
- Added BT.2020 color space support to the preview.
- Added Embed Markers as Chapters to export job context menu.

Hot Hot Hot
1 hot for the new Speech to Text model downloader
2 hots for the new System Fusion and improved System UI themes
3 hots for your CPU cooking on the new Outline video filter!
- Added a Whisper.cpp (GGML) model downloader to the Speech to Text dialog.
A model is no longer included in the download and installation reducing their sizes.
- Improved the System theme to follow the operating system palette on Windows (darker and more contrast), and improved its appearance on macOS dark mode.
- Added Settings > Theme > System Fusion that combines the operating system palette with the monochrome, symbolic icons of the Fusion themes.
- Added an Outline video filter that uses the input alpha channel--useful with rich text or assets with a transparent background.
This means that, like Drop Shadow, it will not work as expected when used after a text filter on a video or image clip. Rather, you must use a text clip (transparent color generator with text filter) on an upper track.
Other New Features
- Added the ability to drag the waveform peak line to adjust audio gain.
- Added Settings > Timeline > Adjust Clip Gain/Volume to turn off the above.
- Added rolling an edit/trim to Timeline:
Hold Ctrl (command on macOS) while trimming to simultaneously trim the neighbor clip.
- Added a Soft Focus filter set.
- Added Audio/Video duration to the Slideshow Generator dialog, defaults to 4 hours.
This facilitates using Slideshow Generator to make transitions between everything when including both video and images. (It still respects the source duration and in & out points; duration here is a maximum.)
Surround Sound Mixing Improvements
- Added fader and surround balance to the Balance audio filter if channels > 2.
- Added Channels toggle buttons to many audio filters:
- Band Pass
- Compressor
- Delay
- Downmix
- Equalizer: 3-Band
- Equalizer: 15-Band
- Equalizer: Parametric
- Expander
- Gain/Volume
- High Pass
- Low Pass
- Limiter
- Mute
- Noise Gate
- Notch
- Added support for 4 channels in the Copy Channel audio filter.
For example, now you can:
- Copy stereo music to the rear channels and use the fader in the Balance filter to reduce its volume,
- Downmix spoken word into the center channel and apply a Band Pass filter to it, and
- Route music or sound effects to the low-frequency channels and apply a Low Pass filter to it.
Other Improvements
- Changed the default Export > Audio > Rate control to Average Bitrate for AAC, Opus, and MP3.
- Added the ability to add/use multiple Mask: Apply filters.
- Added support for Scrub While Dragging to trimming on the timeline.
- Added hold Shift to ripple-trim when Ripple is turned off.
- Added French (Canadian) and Lithuanian translations.
Fixes
- Fixed Mask: Apply with multiple Mask: Simple Shape (broke in v25.05)
- Fixed exporting projects containing only Generator clips on Windows (broke in v25.05).
- Fixed converting 10-bit full to limited range (broke in v25.01).
- Fixed dropdown menus using Settings > Theme > System on Windows.
- Fixed Balance and Pan audio muted channels if audio channels > 2.
- Fixed Export > Use hardware encoder fails with H.264 on macOS 15.
- Fixed Properties > Convert or Reverse for iPhone 16 Pro videos with Ambisonic audio.
- Fixed a single frame fade out filter would either mute or make black.
- Fixed repairing a project (e.g. broken file links) with proxy turned on.
- Fixed doing Freeze Frame on the first frame of a clip.

New Features
- Added Alpha Strobe video filter.
- Added Freeze Frame to Timeline.
- Added File > Rereun Filter Analysis.
- Added adjustable track headers width to Timeline.
- Added an item count to Playlist.
- Added File > New submenu with items for Project and generators.
- Added Add Generator to Timeline toolbar.
- Changed the Convert to Edit-friendly dialog to make it obvious that "better" and "best" options create very large files.
- Added Settings > Preview Scaling > 1080p. (This was added primarily for use with DeckLink SDI/HDMI external monitoring.)
- Added Settings > Player > External Monitor > DeckLink Gamma with SDR and HLG HDR options.
- Added HLG color transfer/gamma to GPU Effects. HDR is not ready to announce; these are just some pieces.
Improvements
- Improved compositing in Obscure With Blur, Obscure With Mosaic, and Mask: Apply. Now, they are better at concealing details.
- Moved the Files > Go Up button to top left to be more like OS file browsers.
- Upgraded dependencies:
- Qt 6.8.3
- MLT 7.32.0
- Rubberband 4.0
- SVT-AV1 3.0
Fixes
- Fixed ability to select or drag short Timeline clips (broke in v25.03).
- Fixed Text: Rich scroll presets (broke in v25.03).
- Fixed may crash in Files dock on startup (broke in v25.01).
- Fixed possible crash when selecting a track head.

Speech to Text
Shotcut gets its first AI based on OpenAI's Whisper, courtesy of the whisper.cpp project. This is available through Subtitles > Speech to Text menu item or button: .
- Our builds include a basic model that has decent speed and accuracy but not a big size. (You can think of the model as the brain.)
- You can download a bigger and better better brain (model) in ggml format and configure it in the Speech to Text dialog, but it will be slower.
- The dialog creates two jobs that appear in the Jobs panel: one to export audio and another to convert to text.
- The results are added to the Subtitles panel as a new top-level Subtitle Track.
- Currently, the only GPU our build supports is Apple Silicon. Otherwise, it is heavily multi-threaded on the CPU.
- Known quirk: subtitle items sometimes start earlier than expected. Timing is provided by the model and tool, and we lack the skills and resources to improve this.
- Expect there to be occasional errors. Like humans and non-ideal conditions, it is not perfect. We will not take action on bug reports about some piece of audio not converting to the expected text.
- OpenAI has made some warnings about the usage of their Whisper models:
In particular, we caution against using Whisper models to transcribe recordings of individuals taken without their consent.... We recommend against use in high-risk domains like decision-making contexts, where flaws in accuracy can lead to pronounced flaws in outcomes.
Transition Improvements
- Ripple Delete a transition restores the entirety of the clips included in the transition.
- Lift (non-ripple delete) a transition no longer leaves a gap; the gap is filled with the adjacent clips.
- Moving an adjacent clip away increases the transition duration instead of detaching and leaving a gap.
Other Improvements
- Removed the Export > Video > Resample button. Now, there are simply ignorable inline warnings when making certain changes.
- Added File > Show Project in Folder to menu.
- Added a decimals <number> option to numeric keywords in the GPS Text video filter.
- Changed Recent Projects to Projects: items in this view no longer disappear as Recent reaches its maximum length and old items are removed.
- Added a Remove action to the context menu in Projects.
- Hide the Reframe video filter and button if GPU Effects is on.
- Upgraded FFmpeg to version 7.1.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash doing when doing more than one Playlist > menu > Add Selected to Slideshow. In theory, this could fix other random crashes in Timeline.
- Fixed a crash opening a project containing a subtitle track with no items.
- Fixed odd value for computed width in Reframe output video filter causes export to fail.
- Fixed Reframe visual control can create odd-valued dimensions.
- Fixed AVCHD video frame rate is double (could fix other formats).

Ambisonic Audio
Ambisonic spatial (spherical) audio is often used with 360° video whether output as spherical or reframed to a rectangle. Adding support for Ambisonic facilitates 360° video workflows with Shotcut.But also the new Ambisonic Decoder audio filter is part of an affordable, simple way to record (e.g. GoPro MAX, Zoom H3-VR) Ambisonic audio and convert it to 5.1 surround. FYI, YouTube supports 5.1 surround on most TV-oriented devices (smart TVs, streaming boxes, game consoles). And Windows has something called Sonic to listen to surround through headphones. The new filter can also be used to listen to Ambisonic through headphones (binaural), to rotate the sound when you rotate spherical video, and to pan stereo or surround audio output for reframed 360° video.- Added Settings > Audio Channels > 4 (quad/Ambisonics).
- Added Ambisonic Decoder audio filter that converts to binaural, stereo, quad, Ambisonic, or 5.1 surround. When Ambisonic mode is chosen, it is an Ambisonic panner.
- Added Ambisonic metadata to Set Equirectangular if there is a track with 4 audio channels.
- Added Copy Parameters to 360 video filters to use with Ambisonic Decoder > Paste Parameters.
- Shotcut only supports first order Ambisonics at this time.

Old Bugs
- Fixed shift-drag-drop from Windows Explorer to Playlist deletes the files!
This is an old bug, and Shotcut is not deleting the files.
But it accepts a move drop action for the purpose of reordering playlist items.
However, doing so with a list of filenames makes Windows assume the receiving application did something appropriate with thes file and then... delete them on behalf of the app just to be sure?!?
Smooth move. (Another Windows file manager Directory Opus does not exhibit this bad behavior.)
- Fixed another very old bug on Windows where sound does not follow the default output device, for example plugging headphones, until you restart the app.
Please note that if you are using Settings > Audio Channels > 6 (5.1) after the default sound output changes, you will likely experience distortion in the audio playback until you restart the app.

Improvements
- Added Track Auto Fade and Track Seam audio filters.
These filters address an old problem where clicks and pops may be heard in export when switching between clips due to discontinuities in the audio stream.
A recommended technique was to add a 2 frame Fade Audio Out and Fade Audio in filters on clips.
Track Auto Fade automates that.
Track Seam works on a similar level but rather attempts to do a smoothing between outgoing and incoming samples around edit points.
Both of these new filters may ONLY be added to individual tracks—audio or video.
