December happens to be a busy month for video editor releases in the open-source world. This month there’s been the release of Flowblade 2.24, OpenShot 3.4, Kdenlive 25.12, and now there is Shotcut 25.12 before closing out the month and year.
Shotcut 25.12 is now available for this cross-platform free software video editor bjuilt atop the MLT Multimedia Framework and FFmpeg. With Shotcut 25.12 there is now 10-bit video CPU pipeline support. Shotcut previously had partial 10-bit color support for GPU effects and relying on only GPU filters while now many CPU video effects have been adapted to support 10-bit as well as 12-bit video sources. Some CPU-based filters still need to be converted but the 10-bit video CPU pipeline is now in much better shape with Shotcut 25.12.
Shotcut 25.12 also offers higher image quality now with linear color processing support, including linear 10-bit on the CPU path and experimental linear 10-bit GPU/CPU handling for the color processing mode.
Shotcut 25.12 also brings two new HTML presets, support for NVIDIA NVENC accelerated screen recording under X.Org desktop sessions on Linux, and a variety of other smaller changes and bug fixes.
