Shotcut 25.12 Video Editor Delivers Full 10-Bit CPU Video Processing

Shotcut, a popular open-source video editor, has released version 25.12, introducing one of its most significant image-quality upgrades to date with full 10-bit CPU video processing and expanded linear color handling.

Until now, 10-bit video support was limited when working outside GPU effects, forcing users to avoid transitions, blending, or many CPU-based filters to prevent a fallback to 8-bit processing. With this release, many CPU video effects have been ported to support both 10-bit and 12-bit sources, including transitions and track compositing.

In addition, CPU filters tagged for 10-bit operation now function correctly when combined with experimental GPU processing, allowing more flexible workflows without sacrificing bit depth.
