The update adds a colour grading suite with scopes, curve editing and colour wheels, plus a new recording dock for capturing audio, screen and webcam input directly into a project timeline. AI features expand with four new ComfyUI audio workflows (de-noise, voice enhancement, upscaling, repair) and a simplified local AI model download UI with live mask previews for Object Mask. New video effects (Shadow, Glow, Displacement Map, Film Grain), refreshed camera/animation presets, customizable workspace views, new social media export filters for TikTok and Snapchat, and improved waveform display round out the release. Installers are available for Windows, macOS and Linux via GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

OpenShot 4.0 adds a Qt 6-based interface with improved Wayland support and reliable fractional scaling, a colour grading suite with scopes, curve editing and colour wheels, and a new recording dock for capturing microphone, screen or webcam input directly into a project timeline. It also adds new video effects (Shadow, Glow, Displacement Map, Film Grain), customizable workspace views, and TikTok/Snapchat export filters. _Track major open-source app releases like this video editor's update on daily.dev._ ### What AI features does OpenShot 4.0 include for audio editing? OpenShot 4.0 adds four ComfyUI-powered audio workflows: de-noise using ComfyUI_FLClearVoice, voice enhancement, audio resolution upscaling, and basic repair for poor or damaged clips. These generative AI features require running a separate ComfyUI server that OpenShot sends files to and pulls processed results back from into the project. _Developers evaluating AI-assisted creative tooling can follow releases like this on daily.dev._ ### Why did OpenShot migrate to Qt 6? OpenShot moved to Qt 6 in version 4.0 primarily for backend improvements rather than visual changes, delivering better Wayland support on Linux and reliable fractional scaling. The migration had been in progress for a while before shipping in this release. _Follow framework migration stories like this Qt 6 move on daily.dev to plan your own upgrades._ --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#qt](https://daily.dev/tags/qt) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openshot-4-0-adds-colour-grading-recording-dock-and-qt-6-support-chxq2vdle) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenShot 4.0 adds colour grading, recording dock and Qt 6 support","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openshot-4-0-adds-colour-grading-recording-dock-and-qt-6-support-chxq2vdle","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openshot-4-0-adds-colour-grading-recording-dock-and-qt-6-support-chxq2vdle"},"datePublished":"2026-08-31T00:06:01.422Z","dateModified":"2026-08-31T15:07:29.095Z","description":"OpenShot 4.0 has been tagged for release with a migration to Qt 6, bringing improved Wayland support and reliable fractional scaling.
