OpenShot interfaces
Jon thomas has announced the official release of OpenShot Video Editor 2.4. Among the features of OpenShot 2.4 we found "greatly improved stability" for this cross-platform, non-linear video editor.
After arduous hours of work and execution in the code it has been possible to identify the main stability flaws in the application, the challenge was to isolate the bug and find a way to reproduce it reliably.
Jon Thomas tells us:
This proved very difficult, and we were often able to run hours and hours of test code before an accident occurred. And of course, debuggers and analysis tools would slow down the code and reduce the likelihood of a crash even more, often avoiding the crash entirely.
So, in short, a handful of small changes and a few months of debugging, and we can no longer block libopenshot during video processing or video encoding.
Here is the full list of improvements:
- Improve undo / redo support these actions are stored in the project file. This option can be adjusted in the preferences menu, in the automatically save tab.
- Export of Still Image Sequence, it has support for PNG, JPG, PPM, BMP formats And some others. Export options "Audio only" and "Video only" have also been added.
- Add new freeze and freeze and zoom presets, to quickly insert freezes into clips.
- Remove "show waveform" from the separate audio menu, to increase speed of audio separation.
