“We have included 33 video & audio effects (30 video and 3
audio). This feature is available now (in version 0.9.42). You can
install OpenShot from the PPA or .DEB installer to get the newest
version.

“Effects are used to modify the video, image, or sound a clip
outputs. For example, an “echo” effect will cause the audio of a
clip to echo. A “black and white” effect will cause the video to be
in black and white. You get the idea.

“Chroma Key effects are also included in this update. Chroma Key
(or Green / Blue Screen) is an effect where you choose a color in
the video and make it transparent. You can adjust the variance
(i.e. how exact a match you want). This is commonly used to replace
the background of a scene with another image or video. I put
together a quick video demonstration with a few different effects.
Check it out. And yes, that is my hand”
