Flowblade Movie Editor is a multitrack non-linear video editor for Linux released under GPL 3 license. Flowblade is designed to provide a fast, precise and as-simple-as-possible editing experience. Flowblade employs film style editing paradigm in which clips are usually automatically placed tightly after the previous clip - or between two existing clips - when they are inserted on the timeline. Edits are fine tuned by trimming in and out points of clips, or by cutting and deleting parts of clips. Film style editing is faster for creating programs with mostly straight cuts and audio splits, but may be slower when programs contain complex composites unless correct work flow is followed. Flowblade provides powerful tools to mix and filter video and audio.

Flowblade 2.12.0.2 - Fix Generators rendering Issue (NOTE: 2.12.0.1 release had an issue and was removed)

FLOWBLADE 2.12
Date: November 29, 2023

With Flowblade 2.12 we are getting a couple of important structural updates such as Data Stores feature and the possiblity to use up to 21 tracks in a Sequence.

DATA STORES
Users can now decide where project data such as proxie clips, container clip renders, thumbnails and audio levels is stored. Data location can be selected for each project individually, and project data can also be destroyd per project so that other projects are not affected. See documentation for more info.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRACKS INCREASED TO 21
Flowblade has always avoided UX with free scrolling of Timeline in 2 dimensions. The rationale has been that this provides a more stable and maximally controllable view of the Timeline. This in turn has necessitated having a maximum a track count of 9.

For 2.12 we added a paged and auto centered view of Timeline in the vertical dimension. This provides most of the stable view advantages of the previous approach, while simultaniously making it possible to increase the maximum number of tracks available to the user.

FASTER PROXY RENDERING
It was pointed out that creating proxy files with the FFMPEG CLI application GPU rendering was much faster then Flowblade proxy rendering, even if GPU was used for rendering by Flowblade. The reason for this speed difference is the additional overhead necessery to support multitrack playback with arbitrary filtering and image and audio mixing that is required for video editor rendering.

Proxies can now be rendered using FFMPEG CLI app if system supports GPU encoding. On testing we were getting 4-10x speed improvements with this approach.

TOOLS AND CONFIGURATION REMOVAL
Flowblade no longer offers user configurable toolset for Timeline editing. The use cases of additional available tools are well covered with the default toolset and user configurable ordering of tools was longer considered an important feature.

OTHER NEW FEATURES
New filters Unpremultiply, Grayscale Luminance, Copy Channel and Fade To Black In/Out
Track output On/Off toggle keyboard shortcut.
Replace Media in Project functionality.
Zoom to mouse position feature

WORK ON GTK 4 PORT
A considerable portion of available development time was spend on moving to using Gtk.Popover widgets instead of Gtk.Menu widgets. Unfortunately GTK 4 deprecates a large amount of widgets and patterns used by Flowblade, and it will take some time and effort to get everything ready to even consider attempting a port.
