How To Install OpenShot Video Editor 2.4.3 released On Ubuntu 18.04

   OpenShot Video Editor is a free, open-source video editor for Linux. OpenShot can take your videos, photos, and music files and help you create the film you have always dreamed of. Easily add sub-titles, transitions, and effects, and then export your film to DVD, YouTube, Vimeo, Xbox 360, and many other common formats.

 

OpenShot 2.4.3 release highlights:

• Masks and transitions can now be modified at any time, and can now use an image or video! This utilizes the grayscale of each frame and converts it into a mask, and can be used to create some really amazing effects.

• Save frame button for quickly saving the current preview frame
• Huge improvement to language translations
