UPDATE 3: 32-bit AppImage added.

UPDATE 2: AppImage updated yet again with fixes specific to Linux Mint and also includes a workaround for accessing your entire filesystem from root ('/') so no longer are you confined to the limited sandbox and home folder contents only.

UPDATE 1: AppImage has been updated again (sorry guys). This fixes it to work on current Ubuntu 17.10 distros. If you encounter issues on any other Ubuntu based distribution please let us know. You only need to redownload if you are on Ubuntu 17.01 and above.


5.0.5 is a patch release mainly for AppImage users. A module dependency has been removed, which was the fault for many with issues on Ubuntu 16.0.4 due to Canonical's rather ANCIENT repos making devs lives a nightmare (still love ya guys!)

Users who experienced problems with 5.0.0 are urged to try this new release.


5.0.5 changelog

  • patch release mainly for users of the AppImage binary which has
    been overhauled and tested on Ubuntu Trusty, Vivid + KDE Neon.
    Also contains latest nightly binary of FFmpeg so SmartCut will
    work properly (FFmpeg needs to be fairly recent for proper HEVC
    and MPEG-4 Part 2 formats to work in SmartCut mode)

  • fixed timeline slider tooltip displaying time position to only appear
    when mouse is over the slider widget. this stops it from constantly
    appearing whenever media position changes. No longer displays
    constantly during playback unless mouse hovers above timeline.

  • Removal of Python 3 OpenGL module to allow app to work on
    Linux distros containing older 3.0.1 versions of the module. The
    dependency on python3-opengl has now been removed and was only
    necessary for Ubuntu users on Vivid due to a broken PyQt5 OpenGL
    implementation in the core PyOpenGL package. Vivid is no longer
    a supported distro version so it should be okay to omit on a
    permanent basis.
