After only one year of development Jonathan Thomas has released version 1.0 of OpenShot. Based on the MLT Framework, OpenShot Video Editor has taken less time to reach this stage of development than any other Linux Non-Linear Video Editors.
Version 1.0 is a jam-packed full of new features, bug fixes, and some shiny new graphics:
- Transition snapping - Transitions now snap to the nearest clip or the play-head.

-Improved Accuracy - The accuracy of our edits and cuts has been improved. No more skipped frames, out of place frames, or flashes of white.
-New Transitions - 28 new transitions have been added.

-New Titles - 29 new titles have been added (both in 4:3 and 16:9 ratios)

-Time Format Improved - The time format has been changed to include the frame number, instead of the millisecond.

-Improved Stability: The overall stability of OpenShot is acceptable now.

Help Manual is now integrated; and will launch in your native languge. Currently, French, Spanish, and English are 100% translated.
