Changelog for Shotcut 24.10.29:

Speech to Text Feature

Introduction of AI capabilities via OpenAI’s Whisper thanks to the whisper.cpp project.
Accessible through the Subtitles > Speech to Text option or via the Speech to Text icon.
The included model strikes a balance between speed and accuracy while remaining lightweight. (Think of the model as the AI brain.)
A larger, more proficient model is available in ggml format for configuration in the Speech to Text dialog, though it may result in longer processing times.
The dialog effectively sets up two tasks visible in the Jobs panel: one for audio export and another for text conversion.
Results integrate into the Subtitles panel as a newly added top-level Subtitle Track.
Currently, only Apple Silicon GPUs are supported; otherwise, processing relies heavily on multi-threaded CPU performance.
A known limitation is that subtitle items may appear earlier than intended. The timing relies on the model and tool, and improvements in this area are not feasible due to resource constraints.
Expect occasional inaccuracies as the conversion is not perfect. Bug reports concerning specific audio-to-text discrepancies will not be addressed.

OpenAI advises caution regarding the use of its Whisper models: Particularly, using Whisper for transcribing recordings of individuals made without consent is discouraged. Additionally, it is advised not to use these models in high-risk settings where inaccuracies could lead to significant consequences.

Enhanced Transition Functions

Ripple Deleting a transition will restore all clips involved in that transition.
Lift (non-ripple delete) will no longer leave empty gaps; instead, adjacent clips fill in the empty space.
Shifting a neighboring clip further away will extend the transition duration rather than create a gap.

Additional Improvements

The Export > Video > Resample button has been removed, replaced with inline warnings when making specific changes.
Addition of File > Show Project in Folder option in the menu.
Introduced a decimals feature to numeric keywords in the GPS Text video filter.
The Recent Projects section has been renamed to Projects, ensuring items do not disappear as Recent reaches its limit.
New option to Remove items from the context menu in Projects.
The Reframe video filter and its button will not be displayed if GPU Effects are enabled.
Upgraded FFmpeg to version 7.1 for enhanced performance.

Bug Fixes

Resolved a crash issue occurring after multiple selections in Playlist > Add Selected to Slideshow. This may also mitigate other random crashes in the Timeline.
Fixed a crash error when opening projects that contained a subtitle track with no items.
Corrected discrepancies in computed width values in the Reframe output video filter that would lead to export failures.
Addressed issues in the Reframe visual control resulting in odd dimension values.
Fixed issues whereby AVCHD video frame rates appeared doubled (this may resolve issues in other formats as well).
Cured problems related to creating proxy videos for iPhone 16 Pro recordings with spatial audio.
Ensured that GPU filters will paste correctly below non-GPU filters.
Fixed the excessive height of the Slideshow Generator dialog in vertical video mode.
Corrected GPS Offset resets in the GPS Text video filter.
Determined a maximum allowed Time in the Time Remap filter to avoid producing white frames.
