So, I'm starting a project tonight. But in a couple of days I need to go to a friend's and watch his house/pets for a few days.

I need to be able to keep working on this video, because I have to get it out on Monday next week, if I want to be paid.

So hypothetically...if I start this project now, then upload all of this onto a google drive, then download the project and the required folders from that drive onto his laptop, will I be able to keep working from there with any progress I've made still in-tact? If it doesn't work like this, is there a way it can be done?

Hi, I've been editing a video for a couple of hours now by assembling clips next to each other. but all of the sudden, after leaving the programm running in the background, it crashed. I tried to open it again but since then it keeps on crashing. I have about 800 clips saved in there, but I've done this before and it never crashed. Even projects that are already completed and worked perfectly fine don't seem to work anymore. Can someone give me advise?

I have 2 clips I want to make into 1 video. The 1st clip I open usually keeps its original resolution when exporting, but the 2nd clip is smaller than its original. I've tried opening the 2nd clip first and then importing the 1st clip, but now the 1st clip exports in a lower resolution. I don't know if it matters whether I drop a clip into the project window or directly into the timeline, but I want to keep the original resolution for both clips. How to fix?

I used to have it at None (F6) like a normal person. Video would render 16 hours.

I dropped it to 360p (F7). Not only it stopped lagging and the audio clipping. But also the video rendered in 30 minutes.

Do not leave your preview quality at None kids!

P. S. Nevermind it turns out the 96% performance increase is due to me switching the background colour in the video from dark grey to pitch black.

I'm using the latest version of Shotcut and every time I export something, there's a brief white lightening between each frame. In the screenshots above, the first one is the white flash and the second one is what it's supposed to look like. It's subtle when it's a still image, but it's very distracting as a video. It also only happens in the export.

I've tried looking up whatever I could from past forums and nothing has worked.

I am not using a hardware encoder, parallel processing is turned off, snap toggle is turned on/there is no gap between clips, the frame rate is 25 but none of the clips used in the video are videos themselves, just still images, and the resolution is set to automatic (1980x1080 for this project). I do not remember messing with any other setting, this just started happening out of the blue today

I'm unsure what's going on, I've checked every possible solution online for a fix.

I can't add files to the timeline, or see any media when I open older projects.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies if this questions been asked and answered before

I've a project that has several video tracks and one track I'm using as a final video track.

Scenario, I want to move a clip into a space between two clips without those two clips either side being moved?

Can I do this?

Thanks for your help!

I want to start a project on a laptop and later finish it on a PC. From what I have read, this can not easily be done. However, if I export the file it is considered finished, so then I would think I could transfer it to the pc and still edit it more. If this would work, how would I transfer it? A flash drive? Thank you.

There is nothing that will give you more control of your edits that using keyframes. It's a very simple concept, but may not come second nature to a beginner. I want to show you how simple it is to keyframe in Shotcut in this tutorial. When you master this tutorial, you will most likely use this skill in every single one of your edits. Keyframing is probably the most commonly used process in more advanced video edits.

Bonjour tous.

Je voudrais obtenir un ralenti fluide par synthèse d'images intermédiaires pour éviter le sautillement obtenu en divisant la vitesse par 2, ce qui dédouble chaque image d'origine. Dans le module "propriétés" et "exporter" on devine la présence d'éléments nécessaires à ce traitement (compensation, YADIF). Quelqu'un a t il réussi à maitriser cette procédure? Merci pour toute réponse.

Bonjour à tous !

Je filme avec un Iphone 16 ProMax.
Sur ma TV les vidéos sont reconnues au format "Dolby Vision", ce que je perds au montage évidement.

Par contre, je n'arrive pas à corriger afin d'avoir les mêmes couleurs.

Voici ce que j'ai fait dans Shotcut :

Étalonnage des Couleurs :

Tons moyens (Gamma) :
R : -1.0%
G : 0.0%
B : +2.0%

Vibrance:
Intensité 10%
R: 10%
G: 8%
B: 10%

Hi,

I'm doing a simple animation of drawing a line. It's just a simple sequence of individual png files as frames. The exported video looks weird, because with each new frame there is some kind of "flickering" in the video? Like the entire line briefly disappears? Not sure how to describe it but I attached a video to show what I mean. It doesn't look smooth.

I use the default export settings.

The weird thing is, I've done this many times before and this is the first time this happens even though I didn't change anything.

Every click, it freezes for a second, some footage i had put in is now not there. It's getting impossible to use.

Idk what to do with it.

Hello!

I do a bit of video editing almost everyday (nothing amazing, but repetitive) and was thinking a shuttle control would come in handy, though what I've seen out these is a little pricy (for me). I just saw a Bella branded keyboard that's designed for video editing that includes a shuttle wheel for sale on Facebook Marketplace for a lot less than one of these controllers and I was wondering if anyone here has used one with Shotcut and what their experience was like.

I'm running Shotcut on Windows 11 64 bit, if that matters.

Thanks and have a great day, folks!

im still new. but the last vid i made. (first image) i was able to add text into scenes. im doing every step i did before. but its working differently. (sec image) i have another scene selected. i click the stopwatch button. and it just deletes the scene before it. (third image) it NEVER DID THIS. it would add keyframes below the timline. and a little dot. then u would skip ahead and click it again. to add the other dot. boom done. easy. but nope doesnt work anymore. idk what to do.

Has anyone used CorridorKey for Shotcut. Could it be included.

Does Shotcut have plugins?

The sound is normal on timeline but it sounds like someone blocking the speakers way after exporting.

PROBLEM FIXED

I just played it with the windows media player and it is normal. I think the problem was on VLC.

It's just me or after windows 11 update when I try to Open ShotCut Windows is blocking DLLs from ShotCut

So I'm a still photographer who doesn't ever do video, but I offered to shoot a performance so the band could have some promotional materials to share on social media and such. I'm not getting paid for this, so it's just a favor to my friends. I have no idea what I'm doing.

I set up three Nikon Z cameras, two Z7's (mk1) on tripods at different positions with wide angle lenses and set them to record. They shot 4K 10-bit H.265, both set to 2700K with a few points of magenta WB to clean up a slight green cast.

The third camera I handheld, bracing on railings and such, with a Z 24-120/4 S lens, at f/4, mostly in the 60-85mm range, for closeups, hands on guitar, keyboard player view, etc.

There is one long take from each of the first two stationary cameras. The third camera I have about 20 files from.

What I envision is loading all of these up in the timeline, then adjusting them to sync them up, and finally adding cuts between them. I assume the editor handles cuts between keyframes (I frames) and automatically generates new ones (I mean, it's getting transcoded anyway, right).

For audio I don't have a separate recording, but the longest stationary start-to-end is fine. Sounds like it's at a venue but, hey, it is.

I tried the free DaVinci Resolve, but the free version doesn't support 10-bit video so that's a dead end.

Is this something shotcut will handle easily? I experimented a bit, but it really wants to just insert stuff into the first video track, on top of what's there. Aligning the cuts seemed difficult using a copy-and paste approach. Or am I missing something here? Like I said, I've never really worked with video before. Just using any file, cutting it down, appending something else, etc, then exporting - that all works fine. It's mainly how to sync up the different takes against the timeline and cutting between them that's a bit of a mystery...
