Directory Browser for v21.04.13

We haven't yet finished calculating and confirming the files and directories changed in this release. Please check back soon.

Release Notes Published

Here is the last preview/test-version of release planned for version 21.04 (April) or 21.05 (May) to be determined.

Apple Silicon (M1) a.k.a. ARM64

We now have a native (not using Rosetta 2) build working on Apple M1 devices! This is not yet a universal app, maybe later in the year for that. Get shotcut-macos-ARM64-210413.dmg.

Time Remapping and Speed Ramping!

To use it you must choose a clip with NO B-frames (that is a video encoding terminology). If you try to use it on a such clip you will be blocked by a dialog asking you to Convert to Edit-friendly....

After that, it is basically Filters > Time > Time Remap > Keyframes. Go to this forum post for more usage information.
