The free video editing program OpenShot (macOS/Windows/Linux) has just been released in version 2.5. The new version brings a number of interesting new features such as (for the time being experimental) hardware-supported en- and decoding, i.e. depending on which formats (such as HEVC/H.265, H.264 or WEBP/VP9) the own GPU supports, these can be en- and decoded by hardware, which can result in an acceleration of 30-40%.

Other new features include: extreme improvements in keyframe performance and thumbnail preview creation, export and import of EDL (Edit Decision List aka cut lists) and XML (for Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X), support for Blender 2.8+ and the new .blend format, improved autobackup and restore of old project versions, and compatibility of SVG vector graphics.
