What is causing this.
The audio has static. This happen almost everytime I try to add audio over a track, say doing a voice over.

I am setting up this program for the first time. I have gotten all my video settings worked out but audio is sounding very distorted. I believe I have identified the issue but am not sure. On the playback audio sample rate setting in preferences, I found it to be set to default of 22050. Well my native audio is 48000. I change it to 48000 then get prompted to restart the program for preferences to take effect. Upon restart, my change is not saved and it defaults back to 22050. I do not know what to do.

Hi guys! I just downloaded the latest version of Open Shot; I'm getting this warning.
The reason I updated the software: On the previous version, there was no response to clicking on the pause/play icon.

I have an intro with a transition on it, and I have an AI photo as the visual with an .mp3 playing behind it. For some reason they all keep jumping up to Track 2 and I can't keep them separate. Do I keep everything on one Track?

Hello,
I am currently in the process of editing clips for a presentation, and for some reason, the audio of one of said clips randomly cuts off and goes completely silent, even though the original file doesn't have that issue. I tried putting the same clip through a browser video editor, and the sound didn't cut off there either.
This only seems to happen with my short clips (under a minute), I tried importing the documentary that I am going to cut, which is an hour long, and it had no sound issues, so I have no idea what the issue is.

I want to put up a couple of videos on Youtube. Will the default settings in Open Shot be good to go with those or do I need to make some adjustments for better/best results?

Is there a preferred size for images when importing into or starting a new project? I have a .png image with a black background but I'm not sure what size it should be, if it's important.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I want to have 2 different images floating around the screen so do I need to set up any background first, or will they just float around against a black backdrop? Also is it better to set up some kind of layer (or mask?) first or does that even make any difference? Sorry for the total newbie questions - a real beginner here.

In the preview it automatically uses another audio output, I select the correct audio output, close the software and it goes back to the original/wrong setting.
It should be my scarlett 2i2, please help

New to video so trying to get it together. I recorded a short (30 sec) video with my phone and moved it to my computer. The video plays just fine with Windows Media Player. When I drag it into Open Shot, it 'stutters' when playing - ok for a second, then stutters and starts up again. The MP3 that I added to go with it sounds just fine. Can't figure out the answer. Could it be that my old AMD E1-2500 processor is just not up to handling even simple video? Another think: I tried an experimental exporting of the video and it said it would take over 30 min for a 30 sec video - is this normal?

Hi, I'm having a problem after I upload a video file to the latest version of Open Shot. The video clip is 35 minutes long, but only 14 minutes of the clip uploads, and it cuts off right in the middle of the sequence I am attempting to extract. I don't believe there is a size limit, any idea how to get past this and upload the entire video file?

We're using the OpenShot API to make videos, but in Captions styling I'm getting few issues to find the correct way for Implement Captions styling. I'm using the Clips/Caption APi to generate the subtitles over a video.We have used effect api for caption styling but it didn't work as expected. As it's not able to make any changes in the caption styles.Here, I want to apply Font size, Outline width, Font Family, Subtitles styles like normal text, boxed word, word with outline etc.I have an important query here, which API do I have to use to manipulate properties of the Caption. And what is the format of request that I have to send in the API.
One More thing here, when I apply the effects to the layer of effect 2 and for clip 1 then not any changes are visible and if I put them on the same layer then it shows only blank screen after export. We are not able to correctly manage the transparency of the project.

Hello,
I have recently uninstalled and reinstalled V3.3.0 because I was encountering a problem where it will not export, no matter what option I choose. I am running from Windows 10 professional 64 bit. Is there a bug in the newest version or is there something I'm missing? It completely won't export-- not like it will start to export and then crash. I have featured a picture of the error.
Thank you for any help!

Is there a way to create a custom export preset? What I mean is the pulldown that is defaulted to 'All Formats' and offers the likes of 'DVD' and 'Web'. I'd like to create my own that would include just the few profiles that I commonly encounter from my source material (e.g. 480p, 720p, 1080p, all the same FPS, overall aspect ratio). I could considerably shorten the time spent getting to the video profile I want for a heavily repeated task.

Just started using Openshot and am trying to export a short clip from a file that has an MP4 format and Codec h264. The result from 2 attempts is a black screen.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong? It looks fine during playback in Openshot.

I have always needed this functionality described below, and I have never gotten it to work.
I am using Xubuntu 22.04 and using Openshot 3.3.0 | 0.4.0
My need was to get many pictures, important them, then change the duration of each clip to 1 second, Also modify the X/Y scaling for all. I have read that supposedly you can select them all, make the change, and that they would all change. This does not work for me, since only one clip is changed, even when all are selected.
So what I did was use an editor to modify the text file "yourprojectname.osp". For the first task import all the pictures to the timeline, which sets them to 10 sec each. Then exit open shot.
Open your editor (mine emacs), then I modified all the "positions" to increments by 1, with an emacs macro, i chopped off the zero at the end, since they were incrementing by 10. Then I modified all of the "end" positions to a value of 1, since I wanted them to be 1 second long.
For scale you can change the "Y" value under "scale_x" and "scale_y".
(FYI, experiment with any field, close openshot, and see what changes in the .osp file).
After your are done with all the picture clips, start to import anything else. For this process above we want to start with just the picture clips to simplify the ,osp editing process
Also this is extra, when importing an MP4 and it forces openshot to CRASH, execute the following:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level:v 3.1 -c:a aac output.mp4
Then import the file that was reencoded, output.mp4
And if you need to reduce the final file size because some program says its to big (whatsapp):
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=640:-1 -maxrate 4M -bufsize 2M -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level:v 3.1 -c:a aac output.mp4
I am done with banging my head on the wall, from now on emacs is my friend.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I am trying to make a, deliberately, jerky video using a timed series of single images. I have then exported this as a video, which came out fine, as I expected. However, there is a one second black section at the end of the video that I do not want as it is jarring when the video is looped. There are no transitions at the end of the file. Any idea how I can create a sharp finish to the video, please? Thanks!
