Not only did the previous version (18.05) introduce major features and changes but also many new bugs. Let’s just call that release a “technology preview.” We paid a lot of attention to the feedback and fixed most of the problems for this version. But that’s not all! Take a look at this:

  • Added Reverse to clip Properties menu.
  • Added Detach Audio to timeline clip’s context menu.
  • Added simple and advanced Keyframes to the Blur and Mask filters.
  • Added seek buttons for simple Keyframes.
  • Added ability to add and remove advanced Keyframes using double-click.
  • Added ability to drag advanced Keyframes to adjust both value and position.
  • (When dragging, hold down Ctrl key to adjust only value or Alt key to adjust only position.)
  • Added double-click to toggle simple Keyframes controls (circles).
  • Added double-click to toggle fade in/out controls on Timeline clip.
  • Added many animated (keyframes) presets to the Size and Position filter.
  • Added 5.1 surround support to the Copy Channel and Swap Channels audio filters.
  • Added caution message to GPU Effects confirmation dialog.
  • Added a Keyboard Shortcuts link to the Help menu.
  • Changed presets file format to YAML.
  • Changed Settings > GPU Processing to GPU Effects.
  • Reduced memory usage on 32-bit builds (by constraining multi-threading).
  • Upgraded FFmpeg to v4.0.
  • Integrated AMD AMF hardware-accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoders on Windows (Set Export > Codec to h264_amf or hevc_amf. Requires recent Radeon or AMD APU.)
  • Upgraded MLT to git master (v6.8.0 minimum required to build).
