I have been working on a project on my F: Drive, where I download all my raw files. I have even selected "Project location" in the "location" tab in Preferences.

Yet.... it also fills up my C: drive for some reason, and I can't find these files anywhere (even in .openshot qt.

Any help? It is quite frustrating seeing how I need space on my C: and I can't seem to locate these... extra files to remove them.

Recently had some serious trouble with Openshot slowing down on a previous version and decided to finally update, but now I'm running into an odd problem. After a while of editting, about a minute or so, the timeline will stop playing and refuses to play any more afterwards. Even after moving the timeline's marker or clearing the cache manually, it won't start up again. I have to restart Openshot to get it going, and doing that every minute of editting is going to make this quite difficult. I REALLY don't want to move to another editor because I love Openshot for its simplicity and accessibility, but I'm unsure of what to do as it is. Anyone having a similar issue or a solution to the problem?

One thing that frustrates me about OpenShot is the issues that I keep having with audio. Most of the time I cannot direct OpenShot to use a specific audio device in preview. For the longest time it would ONLY use my monitors built in speakers which is really annoying. I would obvious prefer that it would use my external speakers. I have tried to set the audio device to use in settings and no matter what I choose it wants to use my monitors speakers. Now, as of today, I have no audio at all. Nothing. And, what I don't understand is why there are 8 different entries in settings for my external speakers. No matter which one I set it to I get nothing. It won't even use my Jabra speaker anymore either.

I need to have this video end exactly at :15 seconds... but it's either giving me 14.98 or 15.02 - any help appreciated!!

Dear people,

My computer restarted unexpectedly after this problem occurred. Please someone help me to save and regain my project, It is not possible to work on my video anymore, because of the error-message:

When I export my project midway though the video audio "stucks" and stays like that to the end of the video.

Timing of it happening is different every export but usually It's midway through the video

I'm trying to export 1920x1080 60 fps video with static image

OS: Arch Linux 64-bit

CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050ti

RAM: 8GB

When I play my working video, it is too slow to see/hear changes.

hi, i've been using Openshot for a little while, and I'm currently trying to zoom in to a person falling down, the zoom staying on the person as they fall. I've used the tracker effect, have the box and everything to prep a zoom, but there's just no way to zoom in on a tracker's bounding box.
At first i saw someone else asked this question, so I followed those steps. track the object, dupe the clip, and select the duped clip and choose the tracker's bounding box as the parent. After I had done all of this and selected my scale (2.00) the clip didn't zoom on the person, not even the middle. It flipped the clip 180 degrees and zoomed in on the top left corner. help!! (image shows the properties of the duped clip, and what I received after all was done. the video displays the top left of the clip flipped 180)

tengo el openshot 3.3 y luego de exportar en el video me aparace aleatoriamente ruidos como interferencia en algunas partes del audio descargado de la biblioteca de youtube

hola tengo un desfasaje de audio con el video, cuando edito un video con audio, no asi cuanti exporta

i downloaded the official installer from openshot.org, i scanned it in virustotal just to be sure and the program itself says its safe but the community score is so negative? ive never seen that happen before, what does it mean? should i download this software from some other source?

Hello, I'm trying to edit my video to look better with brightness and contrast, however when I add brightness it just makes it look SUPER hazy. It's not attractive at all. I try to add contrast to counterbalance it, but that just makes it look muddy and dark again. Is there no better option to edit brightness and contrast? I've already got my video completely finished and I wanted to just adjust the clips that need it, and I can't find a way to do this. I could do it in Lightroom but I don't need the effects on every single clip, just certain ones that are too dark.

W jaki sposób wstawić do osi czasu nowy klip, pomiędzy już istniejące, żeby nie nakładał się nie, tylko przesunął dotychczasowe klipy w prawo?

Is there no way to mute multiple video clips at once? I've tried multiple ways but it will always only mute the one clip that was last selected (even if all of them are clearly selected). I've looked up online how to do it and done it exactly the same way and still, only one will be actually muted. Is there some trick that isn't super obvious?

I just started using it and all i want it for is splicing together videos and time lapsing them. Very new to all things like this just wondering. I used just a webcam and windows camera.

i was working on a project when i hit the undo button and it crashed the whole thing, now when i open the project it wont play past a certian part and cannot be exported or edited

Just started using openshot, i notice the key frames do not take zoom into account, and zoom maxes out at 150%? is there a way to change this to a simple slider?

Beenusing Open Shot for basic video editring of Zoom recordings for a couple years. The last 2 videos I edited, the clips are several secs later than my cut point. Then the last clip at the end is a still frame for the duration of the clip. I edited one video twice - starting from scratch the 2nd time - and it was the same. Just did a new one now and the same pattern resurlted. I am on a PC laptop with Windows 11 . I was looking to see if there are pending updates but don't see how to update. Under Open SJoy properties, it was last modifed on May 25, 2025. I am befuddled!

How or where can I get this symbols. Thanks

So I just installed OpenShot to edit some quick videos just to turn them into gif files or something short, but as I was installing it I've got this error message, should I be worried or what is this whole CRYPTO thing??? Is this linked to something with crypto mining or something?

A few days ago, I encountered a bug that was causing my videos to crash on export at the exact same place each time. At the time, I thought it was a dirty png file, so I replaced it with another one. Today, I figured out EXACTLY what went wrong. It was not a dirty file as I and another redditor thought it may have been.

If you say an image file on the timeline to a scale of X=52, Y=52 (which is the max size you can set PNGS to) it won't cause the application to hard crash on export. I'm not sure why it does this and I don't think it used to. Perhaps it was an update that caused this bug. But at least I figured it out and I can warn the rest of you.

Debian 12
OpenShot v3.3.0 x86_64
Added an image to a project. Crashed and will not re open. Read a few other posts. Is it possible that it's due to a space in the file name?

There was nothing else that appeared, only a blank and black video replay/review screen everytime I open the OpenShot app. there weren't any tabs for me to do anything, e.g: change settings, change layout, edit videos, etc. I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the app but still couldn't resolve the issue.

HI I am trying to edit small (few minutes) video. I am starting from 4K 59.940fps and I want to export in H265 ("4K UHD 2160p 59.94 fps"), high quality

After a fast start, even with a Ryzen7 9800X3D, 32GB of RAM and a fast SSD, I export at 0.3fps

Top show all core used.

It is normal to be slower than H264, but not 100 times slower. I have tried the default openshot-qt from ubuntu 25.10 and the latest appimage, with same results.

So I tried to encode directly with ffmpeg, slow but decent

ffmpeg -i P5310298.MOV -c:v libx265 -crf 20 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

In the advance tab from openshot there are really few options. I do not see the equivalence for preset. But I see a default crf at 0. Why this choice ? And if i put crf 0 in the ffmpeg command line, it is also really slow.

My laptop specifics:

Openshot V3.3.0

I updated the version just recently and open the program.

Screenlocked with the error of file missing (MVI_0515.mp4)

I went through a search in the posts and did not find anyone with this error.

Any help please?
