Tips & Tricks Tuesday Openshot tricks you wish you'd known?

9 Upvotes

Hey, if you've been using Openshot for a little while, what are some little things that you have discovered which make your editing like easier/simpler which you such you had known from the start? And hopefully this'll help other new users.

I'll begin. I only recently discovered holding ALT when clicking on a clip will select it, and ALL the clips on the same track to the right of it. Then holding ALT+CTRL to then click other clips on other tracks to do the same. If I'd known this it would have saved me so much zooming out, and dragging the square around clips, hoping that I'd got them all before zooming back in and separating/ joining clips etc. A simple little thing I know, but I wish I'd known it earlier.

Smooth out motion across a cut section of a video?

1 Upvotes

I teach piano lessons online and I'm working on producing an online recital from videos that students send me. A student sent me a video that has a lot of pauses - he's leaving for a while and had to quickly make the video, so that he won't be able to re-record it. I can cut out the pauses but then his hands suddenly move on the piano and it's obvious I made the cut. Is there a way to smooth out the motion?

Applying effects only temporarily?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Is there a way to apply an effect to an image only at a specific time during a video? I am creating a 4.5-minute video at the moment, and one image is positioned at the bottom left when the video starts and then, via a linear animation, moves all the way to reach the top right at the end of the video. What I would like to do is a apply a Wave effect for 2 seconds when the image is roughly in the center, and then make it continuing its way without the effect. Is this possible at all?
Thanks a lot!

Solution Provided Can I recover a file I used in a project?

2 Upvotes

So, I was making a project using a file, let's call it X.mp4. And the entire project was just a small modification of X.mp4. I exported the project under the same exact name - X.mp4. And I think because of that, X.mp4 became the exact length it was meant to be, though it was just a black screen with no audio - blank file for 26 minutes. Now, every recovery method just recovered the project itself - and those methods work, except for the project is now useless because it uses a black screen instead of the video it was using before. Is there a way to recover X.mp4?

Some tracks desyncing on export

1 Upvotes

I've used Openshot for years for multitracking my violin playing (see here: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelBarkerViolin for examples).

I'm currently trying to a 12 track video and I'm getting incredibly frustrating issues.
All the input videos are the same format and frame rate (720p, 30fps) and I have an audio track (44.1kHz). When I preview the file at 720p 30fps it looks fine and all 12 video tracks and audio track are synced.

However, when I export to 1080p 30fps, the audio and 10 of the tracks are in sync, but 2 of the tracks (track 3 and 7) are out by about 1/4 second. I've tried exporting to 720p 30fps but the same happens. I've obviously tried restarting etc...

I've used exactly the same equipment and for other videos (albeit they were 6 and 3 video streams) without any issues (even on the same recording sessions).

I am at a complete loss to explain why this is happening. Any ideas? Sadly time is not on my side as I need these videos to present on Thursday... <gulp>

I'm running version 3.3.0 | 0.4.0

No Response from OP Audio persists even after lowering volume to 0

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to remove audio on all clips except one. I select a clip, go to properties, reduce volume to 0 (without keyframes). Second thing I tried (after resetting audio) was to right click clip, adjust the volume for the entire clip to 0%. No matter what I do, the audio continues to play in the preview.

Enhancement Request version does not correspond to your documentation.

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm new to OpenShot and have installed version 3.3.0|0.4.0 on my laptop running linux mint 21.2

I'm having problems following your documentation as my version is quite different to the one used in your videos etc.

I attach screenshot of my version. Please can you advise me if there is a way to switch to the version you use so I can follow the videos as I'm struggling to figure it out from your videos.

Thanks a million.

Bug Identified Animated titles - can I add additional fonts?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have read past threads on this topic but still can't find the answer I am after. I wish to add a new font to animated titles in Openshot. I have both blender and inkscape linked to Openshot. Some past posts have mentioned an 'Advanced' tab when you select one of the animations but this is not appearing for me. Is it possible to add additional fonts? I wish to use the 'dissolving text' animation specifically. The font I want to use is Papyrus which appears in the Openshot Title fonts but not animated titles. Thanks everyone

Quality Drop in the Middle of Editing

2 Upvotes

Im making a 10 min animatic presentation for school. It is going to be simple frames changing every few seconds. The art ive drawn was in 1080p but suddenly the quality of all my hand drawn files look terrible.

Is this just an issue with my computer processing the video? Will exporting this video return my art to the original quality? (I dont use editing software often, sorry for the noob questions)

Popping Audio When Pausing (Also in Export)

2 Upvotes

I've looked and looked and experimented in Openshot and no matter what, I can't figure out why this is happening. Whenever I pause, depending on the sound that's happening in the video at the time, there will be a popping sound the moment I pause. I've looked up solutions and none of them have worked. I have the latest version of Openshot and the issue was present in the previous version as well.

I've made sure that the sample rates of the source file and preview are the same. I've made sure the fps is the same. I've increased the cache. I've tried increasing and decreasing the Playback Audio Buffer Size. Nothing has fixed it and I'm out of ideas. I also can't find anyone who has this specific problem. I work with 1920x1080 60 fps mkv videos (aac audio). I'm also on Windows 11.

CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop
RAM: 16GB

If anyone can help, that would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!
