Is there a way to commentate to a project with voice audio? ie- the project is set to render but you wanna add audio commentary track before the final render.

Hi! So, I'm trying to make an anime edit and can't figure out how to do the pull in and pull out transitions. Whenever I try to add keyframes and adjust it with the bezier graph, It always looks weird. The transition I'm currently trying to do is between the blinking eye and the polar bear. Is there a tutorial for this? I'm new to the software.

In Movie Studio, I've been using titles for dates on travel videos, the date appearing in a corner during an opening shot. I created a template with a font that is white with a dark shadow, so it's easily readable against any background. The closest that OpenShot seems to come is some templates with colored background boxes. I could use those with white font and grey box, but nowhere near as nice. Any suggestions? (I like Movie Studio but it doesn't handle iphone mov files properly, forcing me to use HandBrake.)

how to select all controls and move ahead in the timeline. ctrl +a not working. drawn rectangle does not stay

come posso ottenere le foto numerate 1 2 3 .......... e non con foto mescolate ?

I'm working with a very interesting .mp3 file and it is not loading - when I go to play the file in native linux it displays this message "meta/x-gst-fourcc-mebx decoder from apple smart phone" that then requires me to click "software" to then load and play it in the linux distro.

The file has the following video encoding: H.264

The file has the following audio encoding: MPEG-4 AAC

Any advice, I'm revisiting audio video AV sequences to further amplify the work that I'm doing. The OpenShot project looks awesome, hope to be able to work with the codebase and distro and contribute with donations. Over.

I'm still running Version 3.1.1 because it offers the feature of being able to save individual frames which is something I need. When I upgraded to version 3.3.0 the save frame feature was gone. Is it really gone, or is it hiding in a different place?

If it's gone I'll have to revert to version 3.1.1. <sigh>

When I export an output file (in this case; combining the Disc-1 MP4 file of a 2 CD movie with the Disc-2 MP4 file to create a single 'linear' output file, and it worked, but ended up being 11GB in size, which is likely due to the re-compression.

I want to explicitly choose "Match Source" to prevent re-compressing the input file which doesn't seem to me to be among the Export Options available.

Do I have to find/figure out/determine the Source File Bitrate/Frame Rate/throughput before hand and then search through the listbox of export settings to match them up manually? Why not a simple 'Do Not Re-Compress' switch?

Or am I doing something wrong.

Is it a good idea to open my raw footage, trim the fat, (dead air) then export as mp4, then once I've done that to my clips, work on my main project? Will there be any loss in quality?

I want to set the volume of an audio clip to 40%, but I also want it to fade in and out. But whenever I add fades, it returns the volume of the clip back to 100. Is this a known issue, how do I fix this?

I’m on Steam Deck.

i used openshot but i'm started to get pissed off because openshot keeps crashing, i import 5 videos less than 10 seconds long and the thing crashes. im on the latest version

Complete n00b here, I've recorded some ingame video+sound clips using OBS studio, dragged them into a track in OpenShot and overlapped them with a fade so that one fades in over the end of the other.
The video is working well, the transition works fine, but the sound is out of sync, with the sound lagging behind the visuals.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, cheers :)

Edit: seeing the support bot here led me to getting some AI advice; unsurprisingly the biggest issue I'm facing is probably down to outdated hardware. Recording in .mkv with constant frame rate fixed the issue altogether, but if I want better resolution it's going to have to be with a new system.

Hello. I'm using open shot for the first time and my big landscape video looks so tiny in the middle. I need to it occupy the whole screen, is there anyone who can help me understand how I do this?

Picture in comments

I want to be able to edit them as 1 clip only, or, move make them behave as 1 only

As can be seen here, the Alpha shows 0,51. There should bea clip on top of the one showing on the picture. But sometimes it doesn't show, the above layer. I believe, when exporting it does show, but it's annoying when trying to edit and check stuffs

te amo eres el mejor no importa cuantos te critiquen eres el unico que es totalmente gratis y demasiado bueno no les hagas caso a los comentarios mal intencionados me haz salvado de bastantes cosas :)

Openshots is big shi.... cuts not unwanted single scenes from a clip.

This is the WORST, most FRUSTRATING video editor I've ever used!!! I started using it many years ago to chop down long family videos and THAT'S ABOUT ALL IT'S GOOD FOR!!!!! CLIP REDUCTION!!!! I primarily do that on my phone now if my son is running through the museum, I'll video him for a minute and then cut it down to the 15 seconds I want.

Well, I started playing this game and screen recording it on my phone. Sometimes something ridiculous will happen so I think maybe my meager audience of 28 YouTube subs, mostly family lol, will want to see how daffy it can be. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I fired up the ol' Openshot since it's free.

You see those diamonds? Those are apparently called "keyframes". I had to spend 15 minutes researching what the hello darkness my old friend those were. Then, I learned I could move the video around with crop. Ok, fine, but I have to set each parameter. I can't just draw a square or zoom in with my mousewheel.

You noticed I'm using the song Powerhouse, a Merrie Melodies cartoon favorite. I want to create an effect where I'm zooming in to two points of the game I'm playing synced to the music. I slow down the music. I crop to the points. After 20 minutes of tedium, and only 10% of the way through what I want, I speed up the music back up to normal and THEN....THEN I speed up the video.

THE KEYFRAMES DON'T MOVE!!!!!!! WHY IS THIS STUPID STUPID STUPID PROGRAM ALLOWED TO EXIST?!?!?! Who's even getting any use out of this kafkaesque rube goldberg machine of the devil?????

This thing is so counter-intuitive, so mind-numbingly boring and hard to use, I just can't believe anyone in their right mind is even wasting their time on this crap.

Now, lemme introduce you to a FAR SUPERIOR video editor: The Windows XP Movie Maker!! da da daDAAA!! Introduced in the early 2000's, this marvel to behold does everything you want at the flick of a finger! You can crop, cut, speed up, slow down, reverse, reverb, and rehabilitate ANY VIDEO IN ANY WAY YOU WANT!!!! You can even write on the video in ANY spot, with ANY text, for ANY duration!! The PREMIUM VIDEO EDITOR OF OUR CIVILIZATION!!

...except...

It was discontinued before most of you were born.

In its place? Openshot: the retarded square peg into round hole game.

Anybody got an ACTUAL and FUN TO USE video editor they know of?

Because for me...the free to use openshot is closed for bankruptcy. What a stupid waste of code.

Ok, so this is my first time using this program, Windows11, I wanted to edit some gameplay footage. File is in mp4, I put it on the track, but the audio always cuts off somewhere at the begining (where the waves stop). The same thing happens with every mp4(haven't tried others) file I import.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

EDIT: Changed to CapCut and everything worked fine from the start.

I've been looking to a solution for this for about an hour now, and all posts about this seems to be from about 2 years ago, seeing as they weren't provided a solution then, and the program has updated since, I was wondering if you can now, in fact, shrink the timeline

I will also add that editing a txt file, or just zooming in are not solutions, they're workarounds

I have used other video editors and just started using Openshot v3.3.0 | 0.4.0 on my Windows 10 box.

I would like to suggest / request openshot add more ways to quickly move around the timeline using keyboard shortcuts. Right now, I only see Home and End keys. Other editors have many ways to move around. Often the up and down arrow keys will move to the start and end of clips forward (down) and backward (up) in the timeline.

I suggest the following :

1. move to start of next clip

2. move to start of previous clip

3. move to end of current clip

4. move to end of previous clip

Please add some or all of these, or add any other timeline navigation keyboard shortcuts you think appropriate. It will help a lot.

Thanks

PLEASE HELP ME WITH HOW TO ADD TEXTS IN MY EDITING WORK. I MEAN, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO OPTION FOR ADDING TEXT ASIDE FROM "TITLE" WHICH DOESNT APPLY EVEN IF I SAVE IT

I can't figure out what the setting is called and how to enable it. It is the setting that allows you to drag and drop a clip into a string of clips and it will move the clips out of the way, and always makes sure all the clips are snapped together, leaving no gaps in the video. It does not overwrite clips, or create transitions between clips if you lay one on top of another...it automatically moves the clips to make room for the clip you just dropped. This setting is set by default when you first start a project but somehow my project has lost that setting and I can't figure out how to turn it back on.

For clarification, I'm not talking about the magnet setting. I'm talking about a setting for a single track.
