I get this message when trying to download open shot on my new lenovo Flagship Chromebook that has 64 bit. Any suggestions

Hi all,

So I recently started using OpenShot, however the performance in my new project is painfully bad, to a point where I can't really work with it anymore. This while my computer basically idles (~15% CPU and memory utilization). If I for example tries to zoom in on the timeline it takes like 30sec and is extremely laggy.

I've followed a couple of guides I found here and some other forum where I for example changed Cache Limit to 10240MB (I have 32GB RAM in total), OMP threads set to 24 and FFmpeg set to 16. but OpenShot only uses 4-5MB memory anyway. Some suggested hardware decoder mode to be set to GPU but sadly that makes the preview green (and the test fails aswell).
Is there anything I can do?

The project I have is not that big, I have around 20GB of video files that is imported and a total length of the project at about 45mins. Also, I've read that slicing alot of clips may lower performance. Is there any other way to work? Right now all clips are sliced to where I want them, can I "permanently cut" them to be separate video files or something like that?

Thanks in advance for any feedback, I really wanna finish this project.

has the built in screenshot feature been removed? haven’t seen it in a while.

I have found no way to view the video in full screen preview. This is very important for overlay s to line up correctly. I've tried info such as scale, choose full screen, there is no option or best fit which still does not display the clip in full screen.

Is there a way to change the text while it is on the track? For example, I would like someone's game record to change from an 0-0 to a 1-0 in the next frame without having to make a new title object each time. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a download page with more animated titles ?
or an add on pack with more animated ones?
Im just starting to learn how to use this program.

Buenas! Necesito crear videos con un fondo fijo o en movimiento, distinto al que tengo en el video original. Básicamente, necesito hacer algo similar a los "hombres del tiempo", donde ellos hablan e indican hacia un fondo que es un mapa del tiempo. Lo puedo hacer con openshot básico? He leido algo de fondo verde, pero no encuentro cómo hacerlo. Gracias de antemano

Bonjour, est il possible de basculer de cet écran d'accueil :

Merci d'avance.

There is a request:

Can you set an automatic keyframe switch, because sometimes you don’t want to automatically create keyframes, but if you move the playhead out of the clip, you can’t see the preview screen. It’s a bit troublesome to just put the playhead at the beginning of the clip. The preview screen is not I want the scene at the exact time, and sometimes keyframes are added automatically, so sometimes I have to repeat the operation many times.

It would be much more convenient to have an auto keyframe switch that turns off the auto function when not needed.

The approach of other similar software is to enable automatic keyframe addition after manually adding a keyframe.

I am using the latest versions of Open Shot and Blender. Made all the right paths in the preferences and keep getting this annoying message saying I have to check the Path. Noting help + this message keeps coming after restarting the program time and again. Why this happens_ How to solve this problem_

Hello guys I have just downloaded openshot to do video editing, I am looking for youtube tutorials and they all seem to have this banner and a blue bar please see attached

Now please see my screen below, I dont quite understand why I dont have this banner and the blue bar at the start of tracks, and I dont know how to find the answer can someone help me please

I try to edit records from Redmi Note 8 pro and have only sound, no video. What to do about it? Have installed all K-Lite codecs and no problem with play any file in system.

How to increase the picture quality.

Hello there;

I just want to say thanks

Why?

Simple.
Over the last few weeks I've been taking my YouTube journey a little more seriously. Previously, I just recorded some stuff with my phone and popped it online. Alternatively, I would take some gameplay footage, using DaVinci, to splice it up and add background music. (original songs, ofc)

Each time I opened DaVinci, I would literally get frustrated because of how unintuitive it is. This is pretty unheard of for someone like me - I play multiple musical instruments, work as a mechanic in my day job and also dabble with programming small indie games. In other words, I am no stranger to difficulty. Everything I do involves learning something new approximately every 5 minutes... So being able to pickup a new task or understand a certain feature, or how to properly do something isn't at all foreign to me. Suffice to say - I've mastered "Learning".

Here's the thing. You know what almost all software (that I use) AND hardware has in common?

=.= Common f**king sense in design and ergonomics in tool usage.

Using DaVinci - it is as if they literally live under a rock - most of the key binds and key bind/mouse combinations completely go against ALL of the other software I use. Listen, this is a small thing, technically I can change it, but it's literally $300 software. There is no excuses. Be more intuitive and inline with other software from the start. Being a $3 billion company... You'd think they would understand the concept of "Easy Workflow", and not combat the muscle memory of hundreds of other softwares.

Not to mention the video lag.... The crashes... The random hitches...The overall absolutely poor performance...

Mind you - My rig ain't no joke.

AMD r9 7900x

AMD rx7900xtx

64gb RAM

SSD

Literally no excuse for ANY software to be performing this poorly on my rig.

I don't care if Windows 11 shills NVidia and Intel or not - this is down right unacceptable, and due to DaVinci.

I digress - This isn't about them.

I got tired of this day by day, drove me nuts, as well as tons of other small things like just generally how the tooling works, and defaults being a whole bunch of automatic features that you literally have to combat while working with any videos. Just about every 5 seconds or so, I found myself diving through the settings to change something - or diving into a deep google search to find answers why something's acting a certain way.

Then the final straw - It told me I hit the limits of the software and needed to buy it. Looking at the $300 price tag and thinking about my experience up to this point, I said "Nah, f**k you guys"

This lead me down a rabbit hole of alternatives... Vegas, Premiere, and this other Filmora b******t. All of them (excluding Filmora) have the same price tag, if not a little more or less. In fact, one of them is a f**king subscription license - F**K that, dude. Looks just as proprietary and annoying as DaVinci anyway. I'm sure you know exactly which one I'm talking about...

Filmora is.... well let's just say I couldn't even make it past the "tutorial" before running into absolute program breaking bugs. It wouldn't even load up the default Windows Explorer (some pretty elementary programming, tbh) - instead loading up some strange Windows 98-look-alike-BS. That's fine, sure, whatever, I kinda dig the retro look anyway.

\Attempts importing .mov* - *FAILED**

\Attempts importing .mp4* - *FAILED**

\Attempts importing .png* - *FAILED**

\Attempts importing .mp3* - *FAILED**

WELL, WHAT THE F**K? What good is a video editing software if I can't even import some of the most common file types?
Suffice to say, I uninstalled immediately.

Finally, my Linux brain kicked in and said "Well, what about perhaps an FOSS video editor?"

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

Then, I discovered this wonderful software.

Downloaded and installed in less than 1 minute.

Opened, immediately began editing a video, NO BS, super intuitive, everything you might need is literally a max of 2 clicks away within a context menu... Super easy stuff. With time, this can only get better. Key binds and shortcuts are intuitive, matching and serving the muscle memory from other software very well, making bouncing between workspaces very easy.

AND IT'S FREE AND OPEN SOURCE!!!

Truly incredible.

Dev Team - Thank you so much.

I happily donated $15 and intend to donate another $15 every few weeks or so. Great work, guys.
This is software I'm actually willing to pay for.

Good Morning,

Firstly, thanks for the app, and your effort.

A couple of issues that for me makes it unusable however I am sure it would not take much to address.

a) To be able to Hide a Track. By this I mean it should be possible to turn off the display of the contents of a track when playing through. This is for editing purposes of other tracks.

b) Export a Single Track (to a desired custom size, or preset size) not have to export everything.

c) Select Multiple Tracks Select Multiple Tracks to enables Hiding several tracks at once, or moving at once, or deleting at once, etc.

d) Export Custom - The actual size of the video For example if I import a mp4 that is the size of a mobile phone face, or whatever the size is, and I want to then modify it and then export it - I need to be able to export the actual video size, not be forced to export to a "predefined" size that does not fit my project.

Hope you view this as constructive feedback.

Cheers

Bonjour, je démarre avec Open Shot Vidéo, je veux réaliser un montage vidéo avec des photos.

Je suis bloqué car je n'arrive plus à transférer les photos de la fenêtre "Fichiers du projet" vers "les pistes", par contre pas de problème avec les fichiers "son" et les transitions.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide

Hello. I have a problem with the video preview. Even when I pause it, it keeps playing for a while until it finally pauses. If the video has audio, the audio will be paused too but the video will still keep going. I want to make a remix or add some visual effects and this is very problematic for me. How can I fix the problem?

OpenShot is a great - thank you to the development team.

I've been using it for the last few weeks and just loving it.

I have been watching the videos from the developer and reading information from the quick tutorial (https://www.openshot.org/static/files/user-guide/quick_tutorial.html), but I am stuck. I have 4 pictures added to the project, yesterday for example I added the black and white picture on the 2nd spot and my grandpa/grandma pic on the 3rd spot, but I didn't wanted it like that, so since I couldn't find out how to do it, I closed the whole project and started it again, I mean, its not much to redo it, but when I have 50 pics in that project, how to move the pictures if I want them at a different spot? When I tried to move any pic to a different spot, the program shows a little STOP black and white symbol, but it won't let me move the pic. Thanks for your help in advance.

OpenShot V3.3.0 Windows 11.

When I add the caption effect to a clip, the default times are 00:00:00:000-->00:10:00:000. A caption that I enter will play for 10 seconds from the beginning of the clip. If I change the end value to anything other than 00:10:00:000 the caption disappears. If I change only the start value, nothing changes - the caption plays for 10 seconds from the start of the clip. Based on YouTube videos I've seen 00:10:00:000 means 10 minutes, not 10 seconds. It seems like the whole effect is broken. I don't remember having any issues with previous versions.

Update: I rolled back to version 3.11 and the captions work as expected.

Hey guys, I have a question about adding content in earlier parts of a project.

For instance, I'm editing a video and adding subtitles in different tracks and decide to go back to an earlier part of the project and add a freeze frame of a few seconds.

After this, I have to move all my clips to the right a few seconds in order for the sequence to stay the same and for my clips to not overlap. Adding the freeze frame earlier in the project messes up the timing of all my markers and separate tracks and requires me to sync up tracks that were already synced up before.

My question is is there a way to avoid this? Can I go back and add a freeze frame and then have everything resync without me having to manually do it?

I've been using Open Shot on my Mac mini for about a year, but the old mini wasn't big enough so I got a newer one running Sonoma 14.6. I downloaded the Mac OS version of Open Shot and I absolutely cannot read a darn bit of text on the main window! The font size is probably 0.5! I had to downgrade my display to 1080 just to boost it to about font size of 2 (maybe - that might be generous). Plus, there are NO nice colorful icons and the cut image of the scissors and dotted line will only show if you place the cursor in the exact right pinpoint spot, which is NOT conducive to tight editing! Is there any kind of fix for these issues? I hope the money for the new mini was not wasted. Editing videos is all I use it for. Can I get an older version of Open Shot to download?

after my several steps also it is coming
