The open-source video editor OpenShot has just received a major update with version 3.5, bringing performance improvements, workflow refinements, and new features aimed at both beginners and advanced users. For Linux users already familiar with tools like Pinta, GIMP, RawTherapee, or even running Affinity via AppImage, OpenShot continues to position itself as a reliable and accessible video editing solution within the open ecosystem.

With this release, the focus is clearly on usability and speed. From a redesigned default timeline behavior to under-the-hood optimizations, OpenShot 3.5 aims to make editing smoother without sacrificing flexibility.
