The free video editor OpenShot just shipped its biggest update in years. Version four point zero adds a recording view that captures your screen, webcam, microphone and system audio all at once, each saved to its own track so you can edit them separately later. That is the exact workflow people currently build by running OBS alongside a separate editor. Next to it sits a real color grading workspace: waveform and vectorscope monitors, curve editing, and three way color wheels for lift, gamma and gain, tools normally locked behind paid software like DaVinci Resolve. Under the hood, OpenShot finally moved from Qt5 to Qt6, which fixes years of Wayland glitches and blurry scaling on Linux. None of this costs a subscription. It is open source, and it is available right now for Linux, Windows and macOS.
