The developers note it is not compatible with the new \u201cUse Old Video Output\u201d fallback option, which is available if the updated video output system causes issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding HDR, Shotcut 26.6 adds a new \u201cPlayer  External Monitor  Preview Window (HDR)\u201d option, which can be set to fullscreen. While it supports SDR content, HDR preview requires a properly configured HDR display, HDR video sources, and either Native 10-bit CPU or Linear 10-bit GPU\/CPU processing mode.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_lossy+ret_img+to_auto\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shotcut266-app-1024x637.jpg\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Shotcut 26.6 Open-Source Video Editor\" class=\"wp-image-214924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_lossy+ret_img+to_auto\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shotcut266-app-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_lossy+ret_img+to_auto\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shotcut266-app-380x236.jpg 380w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_lossy+ret_img+to_auto\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shotcut266-app-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_lossy+ret_img+to_auto\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shotcut266-app.jpg 1464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>Shotcut 26.6 Open-Source Video Editor<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux users should note that the HDR preview window is currently not functional, as full support is still in development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dynamic Range settings have been added to custom video modes and Timeline Properties, with options for SDR, HLG HDR, and PQ HDR. Shotcut now supports PQ HDR (HDR10) for External Monitor  DeckLink, and HDR export is available based on the selected video mode and 10-bit processing mode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, HDR10 metadata dialogs are now available for DeckLink output and Export  Codec. Currently, HDR10 metadata embedding during export is limited to the libx265 and libsvtav1 video codecs, with no hardware encoder support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shotcut 26.6 also introduces initial support for external plugins, including OpenFX image effect plugins and VST2 and LV2 audio plugins. However, this implementation is still in its early stages and remains limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Linux users, Shotcut 26.6 adds a new \u201cSettings  Display Method  Vulkan\u201d option, providing an additional display backend. Additionally, the Linux Snap package now uses the desktop environment\u2019s file dialog where possible, improving the native file selection&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/shotcut-26-6-video-editor-released-with-hdr-export-and-linux-vulkan-display-option\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shotcut 26.6 Video Editor Released with HDR Export and Linux Vulkan Display Option https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/shotcut-26-6-video-editor-released-with-hdr-export-and-linux-vulkan-display-option\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-282828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282828"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282828\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
