Nice, looks like a great release. UI looks like it got a nice touch up and also cool to see that the project has AI powered object masking using onnx models: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-onnx.
Since the announcement is, frustratingly, low on details, did they implement the usual hue vs hue, hue vs sat, etc. controls? I don't do much color grading but my line of work requires using multiple cameras, thus I enjoy using a color chart to match the video clips. With a vectorscope and with the color chart I could quickly do basically everthing I need with this software instead of relying in Resolve, if only it offered those controls
I feel like the only way to have this many "partners" as is to inherit them, at least if you're 'trivial'. Like, they probably chose some ad or tracking script that has so many partners.
That was the first question that popped into my head as well. We’re now in the age of “AI all the things,” so it seems like every app needs an API or CLI of some sort. Everything needs to be machine accessible.
I am pretty sure you haven't tried it yourself. I am also pretty sure the software you mention is significantly more expensive or at least not open source.
Which makes me pretty sure yours was a useless comment.
I use and pay for DaVinci Resolve Studio on Linux myself, so yes I have tried them and yes, they're obliviously more feature packed and polished than OpenShot is.
OpenShot is however significantly easier to use and does what you need for casual editing. If you want a step above that and still FLOSS then Kdenlive is a better choice.
What makes your original comment useless is that it reads like an American saying, 'I bet our GDP is bigger than Nauru's' - like what is the point? You know the answer already. An open source video editor is unlikely to be as good as DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci has multiplicity of the resources OpenShot/Kdenlive etc. do.
I've had great experienced with it. It's almost certainly not as full-featered as premiere pro, but it runs buttery smooth and robust, while Premiere Pro kept crashing frequently and was a bit tedious to use for simple tasks.
This does not answer my question, I need something that can do thing, not how it is licensed. I have used Kdenlive, and it's nowhere near either of these functionality-wise, and struggles with big files.
Unlikely to be near that polish and feature completeness. If you ask "then what's the point?", for now the answer is the license and the source availability.

This is one of those occasions where a video would be appropriate.
They have videos for 3.0, 3.3 and 3.4, maybe check back on their channel in a few days or weeks: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenShotOfficial/videos

Just check the documentation: https://zh.openshot.org/files/user-guide/color.html
Adtech cookie banner on a .org domain for a thing whose name starts with „Open“? No thanks. Won‘t look further.
Your loss then. Although I prefer KDEnlive, OpenShot is not a bad video editor.
And I don't think it's a terrible thing for an open source developer to try to earn a few coins.
Its name starts with Open because it's open-source / free software (GNU GPLv3).
Oh come on, they only have 210 "partners" they give your data to!
You jest, but with even trivial sites having 900+ so-called partners, "only" does indeed seem apt.

Has anyone tried having a local agent (like Qwen) use this? I wonder how good the API is for programmatic / CLI usage.

If it had VST support I could use it instead of DaVinci Resolve.
How does this compare to After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Davinci Resolve?
I am pretty sure, this thing solves half of the problems the above solve, and it does it half-good.
I am pretty sure you haven't tried it yourself. I am also pretty sure the software you mention is significantly more expensive or at least not open source.

I have tried the ones I have mentioned, and I hadn't tried this one, - which is precisely why I am asking!
No need for snarky "but ours is foss smugface" comments.
Not to say, your comment make me pretty sure you hadn't tried either of mentioned by me, and does not take video editing seriously.

So again, what is your point?
At least we can agree in our mutual disdain towards american way of thinking *shaking hands*
I can’t help but laugh at this, it’s like a comedy skit with two people with different European accents accusing each other of being American.

It's FLOSS (GPLv3). There are very few free software video editors. Another good one is kdenlive, which a few years back I liked better that OpenShot.
This does not answer my question, I need something that can do thing, not how it is licensed. I have used Kdenlive, and it's nowhere near either of these functionality-wise, and struggles with big files.

I've asked "how it compares", not "what's the point" -__-
You'll not get any sense from open source abdolutionists. Your question will not compute.
