To improve resilience against unstable third-party plugins, a new Settings &gt; Leave Safe Mode option automatically appears if the application crashes within 30 seconds of startup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_635d32a1f5c813db-94\" data-path-to-node=\"2\">A core focus of this release is a major High Dynamic Range (HDR) overhaul. It introduces a dedicated fullscreen HDR video preview window (Player &gt; External Monitor &gt; Preview Window), though this specific preview window is currently non-functional on Linux. Additionally, a \u201cDynamic range\u201d parameter has been added to custom Video Modes and Timeline Properties\u2014supporting standard SDR, HLG HDR, and PQ HDR\u2014alongside native 10-bit HDR export support and explicit HDR10 metadata configurations for DeckLink outputs and select codecs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_635d32a1f5c813db-95\" data-path-to-node=\"3\">The update introduces experimental initial support for external plugin standards, offering a user interface for OpenFX image effects (such as NTSC-rs) and VST2\/LV2 audio effects (such as Valhalla Supermassive). Advanced users can manage these add-on filters using a new &#8211;experimental command-line option or load custom interfaces directly from the application\u2019s data directory.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Finally, Shotcut 26.6 includes an AI-driven Reduce Noise: Audio filter powered by the RNNoise library to eliminate background interference, a timeline configuration to toggle the \u201cCreate Transitions on Overlap\u201d feature, and official support for .lot Lottie animation files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shotcut Video Editor Open-source video editor Shotcut 26.6 has been released, upgrading to FFmpeg 8.1.2 while introducing comprehensive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-525512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
