  • Associates with the file type .mlt.
  • Upgrades install over the existing version.

Mac

  • Delivered as a disk image (.dmg) for Apple silicon and Intel.
  • Installs the app Shotcut.app into the Applications folder.
  • Requires macOS 12 or later.
  • The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.

Release notes

External Monitor with a System Display Three years ago, when we upgraded our UI library to a major new version, we lost support for using an additional system display as an external monitor. Many people were disappointed to lose that feature. Now, after a major change to the video plumbing, it is back! The External Monitor submenu is moved from Settings to the top of the Player menu. It is incompatible with newly added Settings > Player > Use Old Video Output (provided just in case the new plumbing does not work). The new plumbing also provides a way to preview HDR video except, for technology reasons, it must be shown in a separate window... HDR Video Preview and Export As a quick reminder for those unfamiliar: "HDR" means high dynamic range, not high definition resolution. It is about expanded color and light. A lot of phones and cameras are recording with this today, and many people are not aware until they try to edit and run into problems. Also, HDR game captures on computers is increasingly common. A year ago, we added very limited, hidden support for editing HDR video because, basically, we had no way to display it without a device from Blackmagic Design. Now, there is a way. - Added Player > External Monitor > Preview Window (HDR) that can be made fullscreen. - It also works for SDR. - HDR requires a display properly configured with HDR, Native 10-bit CPU or Linear 10-bit GPU/CPU processing modes, and HDR video sources. - For HDR, only use filters tagged with #gpu…

Release notes

Hardware Video Decoding! "What took so long?" you might ask. A good way to manage it across all operating systems and GPU vendor APIs. We have a FAQ topic about this. Management comes in the forms of operating system abstraction APIs, hardware scaling, and a threshold limiter. Settings > Preview Scaling > Use Hardware Decoder - Enabled by default, except with NVIDIA on Linux. - Uses VA-API on Linux, Media Foundation on Windows, and Video Toolbox on macOS. - Only supports codecs your hardware can decode; automatically falls back to software decoding if needed. - May not provide a dramatic speed boost unless you use Linear 10-bit CPU processing mode or have a low-powered CPU. - Has limited impact on seeking and scrubbing—using proxies is still recommended for smooth editing. - Reduces CPU usage, which can help lower battery drain and keep your system cooler. - Not integrated with GPU processing mode via 0-copy. - Transferring uncompressed video between CPU and GPU RAM can be a bottleneck, so this feature is limited to preview scaling or 1080p-60fps (or lower) sources. Export > Codec > Use hardware decoder - Disabled by default, as it can sometimes increase export times. - No resolution or frame rate limits. - Can reduce CPU usage during export, which may be beneficial for some workflows. (Tip: Avoid exporting videos on your lap for long periods!) - The setting is persistent and will be remembered between sessions and projects. - Feel free to test it on your system to see if…

Higher Bit Depth: 10-bit Video CPU Pipeline What is "bit depth?" That is the number of colors or video brightness levels. 8-bit has only 256 values per color component, for example, red/green/blue. 10 bits has 1024 levels. Previously, 10-bit video sources were only partially supported using GPU Effects and only GPU filters. Without GPU Effects (CPU), in order to stay in thee 10 bit space, you could only use filters with the #10bit tag but no transitions or track blending/compositing. Now, we have ported many CPU video effects to support 10- and 12-bit video sources including transitions and track blending. Also, the #10bit CPU video filters also work properly with the experimental GPU processing. Not all of the video CPU filters have been converted; many of them come through another software project that does not support it. However, we were able to convert many for this release or at least mark them as safe for a 10-bit project. Higher Image Quality: Linear Color Processing Any mixing of pixels with a color space's gamma is not ideal, can cause color distortions, and is technically incorrect. This pixel mixing occurs whenever images interpolated, for example scaling, blurring, and sub-pixel positioning, as well as with track blending/composition. Previously, only GPU Effects and video filters in the GPU category operated in linear color. Now, there is an option to use it outside of the GPU processing. But when using the GPU, the handoff of the video from GPU to CPU now…

Added New > Image/Video from HTML - This requires Google Chrome or Chromium. - Please see the stock Presets for examples. - It defaults to a transparent background! - The stock presets also demonstrate a template facility for up to 3 lines of text. You can make your own templates by using %1, %2, or %3 as placeholders in the Body field. - It is designed to make it easy to copy from codepen.io, but Shotcut does not include pre-preprocessors for things like SCSS or TypeScript. Therefore, in codepen.io click the V button in the top right corner of the edit block to choose View Compiled before copying. - This does not support WebGL or embedded video. - Generate Video is limited to 15 frame-per-second for performance reasons. A somewhat modern or fast computer and SSD hard drive are recommended. - Generate automatically opens the result in the Source viewer so you can preview it with its HTML for revising if needed. Once you add it to Playlist or Timeline, Properties now reflects the image or video and no longer shows the HTML inputs. Added Text to Speech to Notes and Subtitles - This uses Docker like a plugin framework. The engine for this is Kokorodoki, and the model is Kokoro--both of which are not made by us. Do not ask us for more languages or voices. - There are Docker installers for Windows and macOS from docker.com. For Linux, it is usually preferable to get it from your distribution but ensure you get the real docker and not podman or the desktop icon dock bar. On…

Release notes

Hot Hot Hot 1 hot for the new Speech to Text model downloader 2 hots for the new System Fusion and improved System UI themes 3 hots for your CPU cooking on the new Outline video filter! - Added a Whisper.cpp (GGML) model downloader to the Speech to Text dialog. A model is no longer included in the download and installation reducing their sizes. - Improved the System theme to follow the operating system palette on Windows (darker and more contrast), and improved its appearance on macOS dark mode. - Added Settings > Theme > System Fusion that combines the operating system palette with the monochrome, symbolic icons of the Fusion themes. - Added an Outline video filter that uses the input alpha channel--useful with rich text or assets with a transparent background. This means that, like Drop Shadow, it will not work as expected when used after a text filter on a video or image clip. Rather, you must use a text clip (transparent color generator with text filter) on an upper track. Other New Features - Added the ability to drag the waveform peak line to adjust audio gain. - Added Settings > Timeline > Adjust Clip Gain/Volume to turn off the above. - Added rolling an edit/trim to Timeline: Hold Ctrl (command on macOS) while trimming to simultaneously trim the neighbor clip. - Added a Soft Focus filter set. - Added Audio/Video duration to the Slideshow Generator dialog, defaults to 4 hours. This facilitates using Slideshow Generator to make transitions between everything when…

Release notes

Speech to Text Shotcut gets its first AI based on OpenAI's Whisper, courtesy of the whisper.cpp project. This is available through Subtitles > Speech to Text menu item or button: . - Our builds include a basic model that has decent speed and accuracy but not a big size. (You can think of the model as the brain.) - You can download a bigger and better better brain (model) in ggml format and configure it in the Speech to Text dialog, but it will be slower. - The dialog creates two jobs that appear in the Jobs panel: one to export audio and another to convert to text. - The results are added to the Subtitles panel as a new top-level Subtitle Track. - Currently, the only GPU our build supports is Apple Silicon. Otherwise, it is heavily multi-threaded on the CPU. - Known quirk: subtitle items sometimes start earlier than expected. Timing is provided by the model and tool, and we lack the skills and resources to improve this. - Expect there to be occasional errors. Like humans and non-ideal conditions, it is not perfect. We will not take action on bug reports about some piece of audio not converting to the expected text. - OpenAI has made some warnings about the usage of their Whisper models: In particular, we caution against using Whisper models to transcribe recordings of individuals taken without their consent.... We recommend against use in high-risk domains like decision-making contexts, where flaws in accuracy can lead to pronounced flaws in outcomes. Transition…

Shotcut FAQ

Is Shotcut safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-04 we downloaded the latest 3 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 3 of 3 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 2 valid, 1 not signed.

VirusTotal: none of its 62 security engines flagged any of the 3 scanned files.

Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Shotcut’s official website.

Does Shotcut update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether Shotcut updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in Shotcut (see Shotcut’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.

Does Shotcut cost anything?

No. Shotcut is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0).

Which versions of Shotcut are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 50 versions, from 20.07.11 up to 26.9.27 (the catalog has 51, and we keep the newest 50), and for Mac, only the current release (26.9.28) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 50 Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Shotcut’s official website.
