OpenShot 2.5 Open-Source Video Editor Adds Hardware Acceleration

OpenShot 2.5 is here two and a half years after the OpenShot 2.4 release, and almost a year after the OpenShot 2.4.4 point release.

The keyframe system now delivers real-time interpolated values and no longer caches the entire value set.
