History Panel

The History Panel in Shotcut allows you to manage and navigate through your editing actions efficiently. Here’s how to make the most of it:

  • Accessing the History Panel: To open the History Panel, click the History icon
    view-history on the main toolbar or go to the top menu and select View > History. This will display a list of all your recent editing actions in chronological order.
  • Using the History Panel: The History Panel lists each action you’ve taken in your current editing session, such as adding clips, applying filters, or making cuts. By clicking on any item in the list, you can revert to that specific point in your editing timeline. This can be particularly useful for complex edits where you need to quickly backtrack and make adjustments.
  • Undo and Redo Integration: The actions in the History Panel are directly tied to Shotcut’s Undo and Redo functions. If you undo an action from the History Panel, it will appear in the panel, allowing you to easily redo it if necessary.
  • Managing History: The panel not only helps you track changes but also allows you to delete specific actions from the history if you wish to simplify your action list.

By incorporating the History Panel into your workflow, you can streamline your editing process and make adjustments with confidence and precision.
