Video editing on Linux is a decent experience, and if you choose the [right editor](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-video-editors/), you won't need to use a proprietary one for most editing tasks.

[Shotcut](https://www.shotcut.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) is one of those great options that offers many features and is loved by the community for its simplicity and no-nonsense editing experience. In a recent announcement, its developers announced a new release with numerous improvements.

Let's take a look at it. 😃

## 🆕 Shotcut 24.10: What's New?

We start with the main highlight of this release, which is the **new AI-powered speech-to-text system** that is powered by the [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp?ref=itsfoss.com) project, a port of OpenAI's [Whisper](https://openai.com/index/whisper/?ref=itsfoss.com).

When enabled via *Subtitles > Speech to Text* or the chat icon-looking button, Shotcut can then automatically add subtitles to the video according to the audio being played. When exporting, a dedicated job for this will appear in the “*Jobs*” panel, alongside the other export jobs.

Shotcut 24.10 comes with a basic model that the developers tested for speed and accuracy, while also keeping its storage footprint in mind. Users can opt to download a more [powerful model](https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main?ref=itsfoss.com) should the need arise.

Currently, there is only support for Apple Silicon GPUs, with the CPU doing multithreaded heavy lifting on other systems.

Then, there is the new “*Ripple Delete*” transition that can restore entire clips in a transition, a “Lift” transition that fills gaps between clips, and a new “Remove” action for the context menu in “*Projects*”.

### 🛠️ Other Changes & Improvements

Wrapping this up, there are some other changes that you should know about:

- A fix for the AVCHD video frame rate being double.
- An upgraded FFmpeg implementation with version 7.1.
- The app now doesn't show GPU filters when pasting non-GPU filters.
- The slideshow generator dialog is now not too tall in vertical video mode.

The [release blog](https://www.shotcut.org/blog/new-release-241029/?ref=itsfoss.com) has more details if you are interested in learning more.
