	tl;dr: OpenShot 4.0 adds built-in screen/webcam/audio recording, a dedicated Color View with wheels, curves, LUTs, and video scopes, and 10 new effects including audio visualizations, film grain, and displacement maps. It introduces local AI-powered object masking and detection using downloadable ONNX models (YOLO, EfficientSAM, Cutie) that run on your machine without cloud dependencies. The release also completes the migration to a native Qt timeline, expands Qt 6 support, and delivers performance gains including a 62% faster Blur effect.
	HN Discussion: ~Prefers other editors like LosslessCut/Shotcut and wants lossless editing as default •Mentions alternative video editors (Blick, OpenPost, Shotstack) as options worth considering ↑Praises the release for its UI improvements and AI-powered features ↓Skeptical about stability and UX compared to established tools like DaVinci Resolve ~Hopes the release improves accessibility (e.g., screen reader support)
