Linux-based operating systems are very incompatible with the most popular applications. This means that, in a simple way, we will not be able to use, for example, Photoshop in Ubuntu. It is true that GIMP exists and that it can do almost the same things, but it is a totally different program that works in a different way. The same goes for video editors and OpenShot it is a program that does not lack quality.

OpenShot 2.0 is coming soon. At the moment it is in beta, but a third beta has already been launched that is publicly available, so any user who wants to try it can install it by following a few simple steps. Next we will show you how to install this great free video editor, as well as you will be able to find out what's new in the new version.

How to install the OpenShot 2.0 beta

  1. First we install the OpenShot repository. We open a Terminal and write the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/libopenshot-daily
  1. Next, as always, we update the repositories:
sudo apt-get update
  1. And finally, we install it:
sudo apt-get install openshot-qt

What's New in OpenShot 2.0.6

  • Smoother animations.
  • Audio enhancements.
  • The auto-save engine saves automatically when the project is configured at intervals.
  • Automatic project backup and recovery.
  • Support for importing / exporting OpenShot projects between operating systems.
  • New settings to preview the audio.
  • See when the app needs to restart for an option to apply an effect.
  • Anonymous error reporting and measurement enabled by default (and can be disabled).
  • Many bug fixes.

These new features are in addition to those already included in OpenShot 2.0.x:

  • Contextual menus in the timeline (such as copy, paste, blur, animate, etc)
  • Tool to cut videos.
  • "Add to timeline" function.
  • Frame editor.
  • Label.
  • Real-time preview supported.
