December happens to be a busy month for video editor releases in the open-source world. This month there's been the release of Flowblade 2.24 , OpenShot 3.4 , Kdenlive 25.12 , and now there is Shotcut 25.12 before closing out the month and year.

Shotcut 25.12 is now available for this cross-platform free software video editor bjuilt atop the MLT Multimedia Framework and FFmpeg. With Shotcut 25.12 there is now 10-bit video CPU pipeline support. Shotcut previously had partial 10-bit color support for GPU effects and relying on only GPU filters while now many CPU video effects have been adapted to support 10-bit as well as 12-bit video sources. Some CPU-based filters still need to be converted but the 10-bit video CPU pipeline is now in much better shape with Shotcut 25.12.

Shotcut 25.12 also offers higher image quality now with linear color processing support, including linear 10-bit on the CPU path and experimental linear 10-bit GPU/CPU handling for the color processing mode.

Shotcut 25.12 also brings two new HTML presets, support for NVIDIA NVENC accelerated screen recording under X.Org desktop sessions on Linux, and a variety of other smaller changes and bug fixes.
