"Windows and Mac users have been asking us to bring OpenShot to their platforms for years. Time re-mapping is a unique feature in OpenShot, not available in any other open-source video editor. When the video speed is changed, so does the audio speed, creating some very interesting sounding effects. Time re-mapping is another new feature, which allows the user to control the speed and direction of a video with a few clicks of the mouse. These "animation curves" can then be combined into much more complex animations, enabling the user a great amount of freedom. It uses curves, which the user can control, much like a drawing program. One of the new professional-level features planned in the Kickstarter campaign, is a powerful animation system, which allows almost everything in the video to be animated with very smooth motion. The interface is simple, options are easily understandable, and a complete help manual is available in over 50 languages, if a user needs some guidance. However, even though it has a large number of powerful video editing features, it has a very gentle learning curve. OpenShot Video Editor has a strong set of features, including the ability to trim & arrange video clips, rotate videos, picture in picture, layer graphics over video, and chroma key (removing a color from a video, commonly called green-screen). "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring OpenShot to Windows and Mac for the very first time, and let a new generation of users discover its simplicity and power", stated Jonathan Thomas, creator and lead developer. The campaign will run until April 17th, 2013. The campaign is off to a quick start, with more than 17% funding in its first 3 days. OpenShot Video Editor, a leading open-source application for Linux, has unveiled a Kickstarter campaign to bring its popular video editor to the Windows and Mac operating systems, along with many new professional-level features.
