  • Add many clips to the Timeline in 1 step
  • Reworked transition snapping & auto direction
  • Smooth scaling, animation, panning and zooming
  • Simplified video rotation

All of these goodies are planned for the soon-to-be released version 1.3.0 of OpenShot. But for now, if you haven’t already, give the current stable version a try. Make sure to visit the Openshot news page for more details on everything mentioned above.

Don’t forget to offer some support if you like what you see, anything helps!
