Openshot, the great new Linux non-linear video editor (which we covered here, at Web Upd8 a while ago) released a new version, 0.9.42, which includes 33 video & audio effects (30 video and 3 audio) and a preview window ehich allows you to view any changes before applying.

Also, a new PPA for Ubuntu users has been set up starting today. To add it, run the following commands in a terminal:

-Ubuntu Karmic:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge

-Ubuntu Jaunty

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonoomph/openshot-edge/ubuntu jaunty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

Then add the GPG key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EDFBD1F9

Then, if you havent installed Openshot before:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openshot

Or, if you are upgrading:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Alternatively, you can just download the .deb files from OpenShot website.
