OpenShot Video Editor (Daily Build) is a Video Production app for Mac.

About

OpenShot Video Editor (Daily Build) is a macOS video-editing application distributed as a daily-build variant, rather than the separately named standard cask. The official OpenShot site describes the editor as free and open source and presents tools for arranging and adjusting video, audio, and images.

  • Arrange and trim clips across timeline tracks, with snapping, audio waveforms, and frame-accurate controls.
  • Animate properties such as position, scale, rotation, opacity, volume, and effects using keyframes.
  • Apply effects including chroma key, blur, brightness, and lens flares, and adjust their properties over time.
  • Work with color tools such as color wheels, curves, LUTs, and scopes.

Install this cask with brew install --cask openshot-video-editor@daily. It installs OpenShot Video Editor.app in /Applications. This cask conflicts with openshot-video-editor, so the two casks cannot be installed together. The packaged download is an x86_64 DMG.
