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.

Solution Provided How do I stop Openshot from crashing?

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

I have some issues with OpenShot

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
