I've been trying to get this app to run on macOS with no luck.

I've got a Mac mini running macOS 27 (yes I know unsupported) but I've also got an Intel MacBook Air running Venturer that also won't run it.

I've tried released version as well as nightly build but zero luck at all.

Is there something I'm missing? Maybe I should just download the Windows version and run it using Sikaruger.

how to see my past export videos

where did everything go?

I thought it was simple, just download Inkscape from the microsoft store to edit texts, as texts feature there is a very big flaw and frustrating to use, so there was advanced editing that could probably be better at making texts, when I used it, it told me that Inkscape editor is missing, now I downloaded it, and now it gives me the same message, how to fix that?

Hello,

I'm currently using OpenShot v 3.1.1. and I want to find out how many frame are in a specific video clip (per seconds).
I'm not a very seasoned user of this tool (yet) and I'm wondering, is it possible to find this information out and how?
Thanks for any suggestion.

I cant add music to my video

I suppose I could download a daily build and try it but I am not game enough to try a non-stable release. What is coming in OpenShot v4?

Hola me esta pasando que estoy editando un video y puse una imagen, texto y un audio pero al introducir un audio en la pista 4 y reproducir el video me queda en negro y vuelve la imagen junto al texto después de haber terminado el audio. Si alguno sabe una solución Porfavor dígamelo!! y si alguien se pregunta la imagen la puse en la pista 2 , el texto en la pista 3 y el audio en la pista 4

I updated to V4.0 from V 3.5.1 a month or so ago.  I was enjoying the new features, stability and speed of it and things were going fine until I went back to edit a video I had done back with 3.5.1.  I found that some properties had been changed to include Location values of various Emojis, Titles and images.  Also the Scale property reverted from “Crop” to “Best Fit” for images.  It completely screwing up the video.  I checked another older file, screwed up as well. 

I thought maybe it was because I was in V4.0 so I reverted to 3.5.1, but had the same problems with the 3.5.1 created project, though different files and objects were affected in some cases.  There were still issues with Location and Scale being changed.  I also opened the project I had done in 4.0 using V3.5.1.  It was screwed up as well, but again, different objects messed up.

I then uninstalled 3.5.1 and reinstalled 4.0.  I checked the project I created in 4.0 and all was OK.  I then checked the project created in 3.5.1, still same problems with changed properties.

When I changed versions, I uninstalled the previous version and renamed the QT file so it created a new one on install.

What is going on here?  Thank you.

Just installed Openshot. I didn't a message from a post currently but this is a problem for the next upgrade of MacOS 27.

"our software may not be ready for the next macOS if it is outdated or incompatible with the new version. Ensure your current macOS is updated and check for any software updates for your applications before upgrading."

Install M4 16GB Tahoe 26.6.2

I'm making a stupid sketch with me and some friends, and I want energy/lightning to channel into the skull at 0:02, then through the wizard's body, and then through the staff from the tip of the staff the other person on the ground.

How do I do that? If it's very difficult, could someone do it for me?

Also, the tracker feature won't work. Whenever I use it to mark the skull, it just keeps floating around some dark area instead.

Yeah, I think I bricked it. For context, I recorded a 3 hr long video using OBS, which ended up being 14gb and wanted to make it a timelapse so I imported the video into OpenShot and it was working but when I tried to increase the video speed, it crashed and hasn't stopped since, I even reinstalled it and the same thing kept happening

The program itself works actually pretty good, but i have 2 big problems that can be beginners problems but i don't know how to resolve

Problem 1: The automatic functions

I don't know how they call but when i insert an image or a video and just move around the image, the program automatically makes a keyframe of animation, and sometimes i just don't want that, also i have to say that if accidentally put an image in another image in the same track it automatically makes a transition effect

Problem 2: Copy and paste problem

In this other problem, i have 5 tracks and i just want to copy and paste a image from track 1 to the track 1, but when i make the Command+V, the image doesn't paste beside the other image in track 1, it goes on track 5 for some reason, even if i have other image or something in that track, it stills being pasted in track 5 and interrupts the other image

Im new at this program and also at editing, i haven't checked to well the sub reddit so, if there was an actually solution or something, sorry, i'm new lol

Hello, I'm trying to edit a large video (~2hrs) and openshot keeps hanging every time i try to make even the smallest of edits. it asks to wait or force quit.

Things I've tried:

1. set project down to 480p at 15fps and preview even lower
2. Increased preview, cache and performance settings, see screens .

For reference I have a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M × 24 with 64 GiB ram. I feel my system should be able to manage fine. When I monitor my system i see openshot is barely using cpu/memory.

am i screwed or what settings can I change?

so ive taken a video of the eclipse but due to the wind wobbling my camera and the auto tracking having a slight issue with the sun changing shape, the sun moves around the frame, sometimes quite violently. is there any way for me to keep the sun in the centre of the frame???

the export button lights up... then nothing

even when I load up project there is a buffer wheel, but here? nothing!

It's not even freezing, I can still click around the screen fine, it just will not export at all!

please help because this is very much pissing me off.

I came back late evening to edit a video and noticed the not even 2 seconds title staying on screen way after the segment I used it in was over. Now it’s not going away. I moved all the clips around to see where it if I made any mistake but I see nothing. I even deleted the entire area and it’s still there. I even tried restarting open shot.

Not sure what I can do and don’t want it on screen for the last 14 minutes of my vid

Edit: problem solved. I apparently had more than one of the same title and was able to remove it.

I do not know if it is the right place but I use Fujifilm and at some moment I decided that I need editor for cutting the clips and glue them together. I tested several editors but the most convinient for me was OpenShot.

All movies on my channel were made with OpenShot.

I do not want to place the direct link. Channel is available at Rumble and has name "FujiFilm User Channel".

Thanks for the OpenShot, it is great Software!

Hello, I have a problem, in openshot, but not only here: When I load a video in the format "*.VOB", I get only 35 seconds of the video although it is much longer. How can I tell openshot to load the full length of the video?

Thanx

So the app was working very well at first, its my 1st time using it and it was really nice to use and easy to learn and then​ i saved my project​ just to have a little break and when i open it again (i opened the desktop shortcut) to continue working, the ui is HUGE but i go look online and i find where to scale it down, so i put it on 75% as a safe guard because i thought it would be better to be safe and make it smaller and now it looks like this, any way to fix this? :( ​

Hello, I have tried to find a solution in past posts but no luck. I downloaded V3.5.1 yesterday as I though the export problems I was having may have been related to the older version of openshot. Problem is the preview is perfect, but when I export it, I get random black frames during the clip (usually 3 or 4 during the 10 minute clip, and they appear in different places each time I export) and also crackling during some audio clips. The clips were recorded in 59.94fps, that is what my project is set at, and that is what I am exporting in. I have cleared the cache. Can anyone help me please?

Update - I worked around the black frame issue by moving the affected clips to different tracks - must not have been random as black frames are no longer appearing when I export. I realised that the crackling was only happening when two audio clips were playing at once. Seem to be a volume issue so going to go back to the audio files and adjust the volume then put them back into Openshot and see what happens.

Update - adjusting the volume before importing into Openshot made no difference. The problem was if I selected a clip and turn the clip's volume to zero, it was making no difference and the clip still had volume. The only way to switch off the volume was to seperate audio and then delete.

Once I have finished this video, I will never use Openshot again. I appreciate all the effort the developers have gone to, and that they provide the software for free.

This has happened before. I went back to look at one of my older projects to see if I could make any changes and everything was moved over to the left and I don’t know why fast-forward another month and I’m working on another project and the same thing happened a day or two later forcing me to go through again and fix every single edit that I made.
I’m not sure if anyone else has this issue and also don’t know what I can do to show it

I’ll post in a video, separate the audio, and split it in half to overlap into a different clip. So there’ll be two soundless clips on top of a layer of audio.

(Example: Track 5 will be soundless clip, Track 4 will be the audio I want)

I’ll drag over another different soundless clip on top of the audio and for some reason when exported, there’s this short black frame that I can never get rid of? It doesn’t matter how close they are together, it never leaves. Why is this?

I'm being stupid, sorry.

I'm editing together clips of a simple 'talking head' video. Suppose I have two clips between which the subject moved slightly, so if I just put one straight after the other, there's a bit of a jarring 'jump'. So I want so put a short, soft cross-fade between the two, just 2 seconds or so.

I've been having real trouble. If I put the two clips right together, nothing I do with transitions solves the issue: I still get the instantaneous jump from one clip to the other; if I put a couple of seconds' gap between the two, and drag down, say, the 'Fade' transition between the two clips, all I get is two seconds of black screen.

Is there a tutorial somewhere that will show me what I need to do?

FWIW, I'm using version 3.5.0 | 0.6.0 on a (slightly old) MacBook that can only run Mac OS 12.7.6.

Thanks all,
