Shotcut Files

Elements 🔥

Added Elements panel to the File > New and View menus and the Generate buttons. This is a very slim (22MB) stock asset library: emoji stickers, sounds, overlay transitions, animated text, graphics. The content licenses are royalty free, including commercial, and do not require attribution:

• Emojis: Open Font License 1.1
• Sounds: The Sonniss #GameAudioGDC Bundle Licensing Agreement
• Text, Transitions, Graphics: Lottie Simple License

Changes

• Added Settings > Graphics Adapter for Windows and Linux (only if multiple GPUs).
• Added Shake video filter. First generated UI to be shared and officially adopted.
• The --experimental UI generator now also generates a meta.qml. (See View > Application Log to get the temp file names to copy and share these files.)
• Improved appearance of tabs and Subtitles in Fusion Dark and Fusion Light themes.
