OpenShot 3.5 hit the web today for this open-source non-linear video editor that describes the new version as one of their “biggest releases” ever in its 18+ year history.
OpenShot 3.5 ships with a new default timeline that provides faster zooming / scrolling / editing and a new keyframe panel. The new OpenShot 3.5 is also said to be around 35% faster overall with the larger gains coming for effects handling and frame processing. There is also better exporting support.
The OpenShot 3.5 release additionally brings better GPU acceleration, which has been an area of focus in recent OpenShot releases. OpenShot 3.5 stability is also improved, audio transitions are better, there is a new default Chroma key, faster audio file handling, and “tons” of bug fixes.
Being the year 2026 after all, OpenShot 3.5 also has experimental ComfyUI integration for AI-based workflows in this open-source video editor.
