After five months of development, the open-source project has released version 1.3. The integration of Blender provides particle effects such as snow, as well as lens flares and 3D animation of travel routes – for example.

Further features of the Free package include adding multiple clips to the timeline at once, 3D animations through Blender integration, video rotation, automatic detection of still images and direct upload to Vimeo and YouTube. The interface was also completely polished, and the usual speed and stability improvements were incorporated. So if you need to edit something quickly – why not try OpenShot.
