Portable ShotCut 25.10.31 (x64) Multilingual
Shotcut Portable is a simple and user-friendly video editor that offers a series of features and functions to help you adjust and retouch your favorite movies, in just a few clicks of your mouse.
The application supports various video, audio and even image formats, so you can work with any type of media you want. The ‘Multi-format Timeline’ enables you to mix and match resolutions as well as framerates throughout an editing project. You can analyze the video frame by frame, allowing you to correct or enhance its every aspect.
Another interesting feature of Shotcut is the fact that it opens and plays MLT XML as clips, so you can even use this application to test such files. In addition, Shotcut allows you to create and play MLT XML playlists, that you can easily encode or stream to a preferred network.
The application also provides you with a number of video filters, such as ‘Blur’, ‘Color Grading’, ‘Crop’, ‘Glow’, ‘Mirror’, ‘Rotate’, ‘Saturation’, ‘Sharpen’, ‘White Balance’ enabling you to fully customize the appearance of your movie, while the ‘Color Wheels’ can be used for color correction and grading.
Moreover, Shotcut enables you to work with a set of audio filters, namely ‘Balance’, ‘Gain’, ‘Pan’, that can prove useful in adjusting several sound issues in your file.
The ‘Encode’ component makes it possible for you to convert your video to numerous output formats, such as M4A, MXF, VOB, FLV, MP4, M2T, MPG, AVI, MOV, OGG, WEBM, and others.
After finishing with the various editing processes that you want to perform on your video, you can stream it using the network protocol scheme, address port and parameters as an URL address.
Shotcut is a comprehensive and efficient media editing tool that offers basic as well as more complex functions, some of which go beyond those of many similar applications, that you can use with confidence.

What’s NEW in ShotCut Portable:
- Fixed export with ‘&’ in the file path or name.
- Fixed alpha channel decoding Ut Video with alpha channel.
- Fixed starting the Linux AppImage if AppImageLauncher is installed.
- Fixed Rejoin with Next Clip duplicates filters.
- Fixed advanced keyframes for Text: Rich.
- Some under-the-hood changes in preparation for further end-to-end 10-bit processing on the CPU, but the user visible effect in this version is a different set of blending modes in track properties and the Blend Mode video filter.
- Changed Export > Search to include file name extension.
- Changed Export > Export File to Export Video/Audio.
- Changed Settings > Time Format to default to Clock.
- Changed Settings > Timeline > Adjust Clip Gain/Volume to default OFF.
- Changed Settings > Timeline > Automatically Add Tracks to default ON.
- Added a Text: Typewriter video filter.
- Added Open With and Reload to Properties.
- You can think of this as “Edit With” especially useful for images and audio files.
- There is a file watcher upon opening with another tool as long as selection (Properties) does not change. If it does, you can use Reload. This does not yet reload–whether manual or automatic–every clip object based on this file.
- Added Text to Speech to Notes and Subtitles.
- This uses Docker as like a plugin framework. The engine for this is Kokorodoki, and the model is Kokoro–both of which are not made by us. Do not ask us for more languages or voices.
- There are Docker installers for Windows and macOS from docker.com. For Linux, it is usually preferable to get it from your distribution but ensure you get the real docker and not podman or the desktop icon dock bar. On Debian-based systems, it is the
docker.iopackage. - The quality with subtitles is heavily dependent upon the timing and duration of each item. If it sounds choppy or cut-off, you either need to increase the speech speed and/or the item durations. Also, multi-line subtitle items are discouraged because that introduces a pause as it thinks it is like a new paragraph.
- Added New > Screen Snapshot and Screen Recording.
- Not yet available for Flatpak on Linux.
- These simply invoke
screenshoton macOS and Snipping Tool on Windows. On Linux, it uses bundled ffmpeg on X11; on Wayland, it uses GNOME Shell, KDE Spectacle, orobsif neither of those. - On macOS and Linux, Screen Recording starts a Shotcut job in View > Jobs. To stop recording right-click the job and choose Stop This Job.
- On Windows, Screen Recording does not create a job or automatically open the capture file. You need to either configure Snipping Tool to save to a file or click the notification that appears to view it from which you can save it. Then, you need to manually locate it and open it in Shotcut using either File > Open, the Files panel, or drag-n-drop from Explorer.
- Added New > Image/Video from HTML.
- This requires Google Chrome or Chromium.
- I could not get Microsoft Edge to work even though it is based on Chromium; they changed the headless command line launch behavior enough such that is not clear how to get it working.
- Please see the stock Presets for testing and examples.
- The stock presets also demonstrate a template facility for up to 3 lines of text. Technically, you can substitute any piece of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript with this except it will not be obvious to a user that a line, for example, corresponds to a color or size and its special format.
- It is designed to make it easy to copy from codepen.io, but Shotcut does not include pre-preprocessors for things like SCSS or TypeScript. Therefore, in codepen.io click the V button in the top right corner of the edit block to choose View Compiled before copying.
- This does not support WebGL, and it might not support video either.
- Generate Video is limited to 15 frame-per-second for performance reasons. A somewhat modern or fast computer and SSD hard drive are recommended.
- Generate automatically opens the result in the Source viewer so you can preview it with its HTML input still in place. Once you add it to Playlist or Timeline, Properties now reflects the image or video and no longer shows the HTML inputs.
- The minimum Linux glibc version increased for this release to 2.35 (Ubuntu 22.04).
- Upgraded to FFmpeg 8.
- Upgraded librarues: SVT-AV1, libaom, dav1d, libvpx, libwebp, and whisper.cpp.
