The first release of Klipp, a native video editor for Linux. It fixes the problems found in the three previews and signs its releases, so updates from inside Klipp are checked before they are installed. Everything in 0.1.0-rc.3 is still here.

New

  • Signed releases: each release's checksums are signed with Klipp's release key. Install Update in About checks that signature before it downloads the package and installs nothing otherwise. The package now depends on minisign.
  • Check an export, or a finished file, against a delivery spec.
  • Set up AI assistants from one window, for more of them.

Changed

  • The timeline clip's right-click menu is much shorter: tasks are grouped into submenus.
  • A right-click on the viewer's picture opens the viewer's menu.

Fixed

  • Sound: muting a track silences it while the timeline plays, and solo plays only the soloed tracks; a muted track's button shows it clearly. The Audio Mixer's strips fit the panel, so every track's mute and solo can be reached, and dragging the mixer's top edge sets its height. The mixer shows only tracks that can be heard, and its strips no longer overlap. Text and subtitle track headers no longer show mute and solo.
  • Editing: undo after an Insert that split a clip leaves no extra piece behind. A clip dropped below the last track lands on the track made for it. A double-click on a media pool item opens it in the source viewer and no longer adds it to the timeline. Overlapping title clips keep their labels apart.
  • Playback: no stall at a cut into a title whose transition has a matte. A project opened with a title, still, generator or compound clip at the playhead shows its picture at once. Timecodes show frames, not internal ticks, at 23.976, 29.97 and 59.94 fps.
  • Export: only the In/Out range is rendered when In and Out are set.
  • Grading: the RGB Curves graph fits inside the inspector.

The full list is in the changelog.

Install

  • An Arch-based distribution on x86_64, with a working Vulkan driver.
  • Download the package, SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.minisig from this release, check them and install:
sudo pacman -S --needed minisign
minisign -Vm SHA256SUMS -P RWTo4I7A4g6VVGz6+mMUh6yQBtX+bdtyftItQmb1Kxf/rtUrNeGAXBvM
sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS
sudo pacman -U ./klipp-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

The minisign line must end with Trusted comment: klipp 0.1.0. Or build from source with makepkg -si in packaging/; see the installation guide.

  • Coming from rc.3: About → Check for updates installs 0.1.0 for you. That one step is checked against the checksums only, as rc.3 predates signing; you can also install by hand as above. From 0.1.0 on, every update is signature-checked. Coming from rc.2 or older, install by hand.

Known limitations

  • Klipp is early software. Expect rough edges, and keep your own copies of work you care about: the project format can still change between 0.x releases, and a newer Klipp is not guaranteed to open a project saved by an older one.
  • Timeline exchange (OTIO, FCPXML, EDL and AAF in and out, FCP7 XML and MLT in, Kdenlive out) carries the edit: clips, cuts, timing, and markers where the format has them. Grades, most effects and most titles do not come across. An export lists what it leaves out beside the file, and an import reports what it could not bring in.
  • GPU support is tested mainly on NVIDIA. AMD and Intel GPUs should work through Vulkan but are not yet validated.
  • X11 sessions are less tested than Wayland.
  • The plug-in hosts cover subsets of OFX, frei0r, LADSPA, LV2 and CLAP; compatibility varies by plug-in. VST2 and VST3 are not supported.
  • Ubuntu and Fedora have tested build steps but no package, and running Klipp there is not yet tested.
