There is a debate between those who think that Kdenlive is the best video editor for Linux and those who think that OpenShot is. Some say that Kdenlive is more complete, while others prefer to have everything more at hand and make it more intuitive. Personally, taking into account that they are not too heavy and that in Kubuntu I already have many of the KDE dependencies installed, I have both on my laptop. Moreover, it has been launched Open Shot 2.4.4, a version that greatly improves on the previous one.
Or that's what its developers tell us. The problem with saying that something is'the best so far»Is that we all expect significant tangible changes, that is, changes in the interface, new functions and things that can be mentioned in a post like this. And it is not the case. In fact, although they have announced it with great fanfare, it is a version that has focused on fixing bugs acquaintancescomplete list).
What's New in OpenShot 2.4.4
- Keyframe scaling.

Installing OpenShot 2.4.4 is so simple that even users who seem to have a Terminal allergy can do it: official repositoriesJust go to our software center, search for "openshot" without the quotes and install it. If you want to do it with the Terminal, the command would be the same as always: sudo apt install openshot. I recommend to continue this tutorial and install the version available in Flathub, since it is all in the same package and the updates will be received via Push.
What do you think of the new OpenShot 2.4.4?
It is incredible that in the previous versions there is the option to mute and hide the tracks and in the latest version, no.
