openshot-qt Changelog (Version: 3.1.1)
5416a16 2023-04-20 Jonathan Thomas Adding back in "layers", "markers" to webview changes - since we accidentally filtered them out. HEAD, origin/release-20230417
1ee5f7b 2023-04-19 Jonathan Thomas Allow "duration" to be sent to the webview, to allow auto-increase project duration / auto resize the timeline
0979288 2023-04-18 Jonathan Thomas Protect setWindowTitle from being called by a different thread (preview_thread - if sample_rate is updated). Protect preview_thread::update() method from triggering with 'sample_rate' update.
91b19e5 2023-04-17 Jonathan Thomas Protecting timeline webview from unrelated changes - which can sometimes happen prior to the webview being fully loaded (causing a freeze on launch of OpenShot)
967a429 2023-04-17 Jonathan Thomas On launch of OpenShot, convert float sample_rate into Integer (if needed), and update settings::sample_rate if needed. This causes our audio device to freeze
6736aa6 2023-04-17 Jonathan Thomas Bumping version to 3.1.1, min libopenshot dependency to 0.3.2

43cf54e 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Updating translations for 3.1.1 release
150689f 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Protect from generating a waveform for a NULL clip (we should skip clips that we can't find or query). Reported in Sentry: OPENSHOT-1WJ5
8d896e8 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Show friendly error to user when Export dialog fails to parse project JSON data: Reported in Sentry: OPENSHOT-6X
266092e 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Merge pull request #5205 from OpenShot/sentry-invalid-property-data
e0af3c5 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Refactor some logic in Parent / Child property context menus - to be simpler, and more efficient. This solves a bug on Windows also, where file paths were not matching correctly.
954d868 2023-04-16 Jonathan Thomas Adding debug logs to property widget context menus
92cf3d4 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Removing items from "Parent" and "Child Clip ID" and "Parent Effect" context menus in the Property dialog - for example, clips with no effects, or clips with no tracking data, etc... Also, making things more consistent with parent folders in context menus (None, Clips, Tracked Objects)
3b260d7 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Fix object detector and tracker effects when using context menus, color pickers, and other property dialog editors - to correctly update the JSON without destroying certain data or "objects"
bb85b5b 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Allow clearing the "Parent" and "Child Clip ID" properties of a clip / effect, and allow setting of the initial value to work correctly.
d37894c 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Extending objects protections to color_update and remove_keyframe methods - to ignore when an object_id is not found, or a clip has no 'objects' dict
36d9b36 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Updating timeline changed callback to always reset the current value of ENABLE_PLAYBACK_CACHING. For example, sometimes we have already disabled this setting before changing the timeline data - and we would like it to stay disabled until further notice. This method was accidentally re-enabling the caching when we were not expecting it to.
788266e 2023-04-13 Jonathan Thomas Protecting property widget exception when a label returns an invalid data tuple for the current selected property label: Sentry reported this error: OPENSHOT-43. This also fixes a regression related to updating ObjectDetector and Tracker objects.

6ff1dbe 2023-04-12 Jonathan Thomas Fix for editing a title and trying to update a thumbnail on the timeline - was missing a required arg
eed7a2c 2023-04-12 Jonathan Thomas Removing freeze from github actions - too difficult to maintain compatibility with all the different builders
877b0fd 2023-04-12 Jonathan Thomas Fixing issue where we still had many duplicate profile descriptions causing issues. Adding - width x height | DAR suffix for only the duplicate ones.

I had been using OpenShot for simple video creation for few years and loved working with it. The old versions such as 2.5.0 were OK for my purposes. But the later versions have a lagging issue. Most of the time, the playhead does not move, or moves very slowly which makes it is impossible to use. This has been a good video editor for simple videos until the new versions were released. It is regrettable to see a good and useful software comes to this fate. It is high time to debug the codes and rectify the problem.

Working with new release (2.6.1) Suspect this might be easier, eventually, but lacks any user documentation for new release. "Intermediate" level users such as myself need guidance on new tools (?Origin X/Y replacing Crop??)

Review by EvD on Oct 29, 2021 Version: 2.6.1 OS: Windows 10 64-bit Ease of use: 6/10 Functionality: 8/10 Value for money: 10/10 Overall: 8/10




Started Openshot. I see 720 / 30 fps. I like to change to 25 FPS, I go to Edit/Settings
Program craches.

Trying to download 2.5.0 but cannot find

Totally disappointed and confused (((

Actually - waste of time. Random crashes. Can't export - crashes again.
Not recommended to even try it.
