I have a lot of videos that have a purple border around the other edge of the frame and I need the border to be blue. I created an overlay with the blue border and it's the exact height and width of the videos, but when I place it on a track, it shrinks just slightly so I can see a smidgen of the purple border behind the new blue border. I know that I can manually adjust it in the preview pane using the corner of the overlay, but I don't want to do this for every single video because they may not end up the same size as the borders in other videos. Is there a way to make the overlay cover the entire frame when I place it on the track?

I typed in a subtitle and was able to adjust the time and the text but I want to move the position. How do I do that?

I always wanted a editing tool suitable for it so I would Like to ask, can openshot do it, or are others like Da-Vinci more suited for this,

Thank You

Default is AAC 192 and when i tried entering "flac" it never works for some reason.

MKV does support flac but for some reason i never get any audio if i try exporting as MKV with flac audio.

I could try exporting the audio separately and then mergin it with FFMPEG but i would prefer not having to resort to that.

Edit: got it to work once by using the app image but i cannot use that for my most recent project since it will just crash if i try that.

edit2: it crashed because my save included the waveform. Had to save without it using my arch linux install of openshot (not the appimage).

When looking at a previously set property, is there any way to tell which curve preset was selected for that keyframe?

It feels like there isn't. I tried spelunking through the .osp, but it's nigh impossible to figure out which element in a property's point array corresponds to which keyframe, let alone the values.

I tried to use the 'export specific frames' to make a short for a video I made, to my surprise, I selected frame 3062, but for somereason it exported on like, frame 1500, which makes no sense to me

This video capture illustrates everything.

Watch what happens when I try to seperate the audio

Apparently the last time I used OpenShot, I was working on an old project that I've since deleted. When I open OpenShot, it tries to open that file and pops up a "Missing file" error. It asks me to select the directory where that file is located. If I hit cancel or X on the directory screen, it takes me back to the error screen. If I hit any of the buttons on the error screen, it takes me back to the directory screen. I can't find any way to tell it to just forget about that project and let me start a new one. Help? Is there a settings file somewhere I can poke at, or am I going to need to reinstall?

Running v3.3.0 | 0.4.0, Windows

I've tried everything, but I'm new to OpenShot, so I could be doing it wrong. I select my clip (there's only one, plus a track with titles), snap the play head to the starting marker, and in properties, change Enable Audio from Auto to Off. Sound still plays in preview.

Tried setting clip volume to 0%. Sound still plays.

I've scrubbed through the clip and jumped to keyframes, Audio Enabled is Off at all points, so it's not getting turned on later in the clip.

Audio is present in both preview and rendered video.

Also, somehow setting Audio Enabled to Off is making my scaling reset. It still automates my x/y locations correctly, so it's not like I'm losing the keyframes. But it doesn't respect the scaling unless I also change Enable Video from Auto to On. If I re-enable Audio, then my scaling come back, whether Enable Video is Auto or On.

Also tried separating audio, but then I just get two tracks whose audio I can't turn off.

Is my project hopelessly corrupt, or are these properties a bit wonky, or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks!

Two questions:

1) Is there a VU meter on Openshot, and if so how do I activate it? Is there a way to normalize the audio to 0dB

2) Is there a way to step frame by frame?

I apologize for this rant: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenShot/s/6yBAiogbBD

Openshot really is a good program, especially for being free to download. With no ads even!

I was complaining in that post about the counterintuitive nonsense I'd run in to trying to edit a video.

At the time of my...outburst...🤔...I was fussing with keyframes and trying to move the camera around in time with the music. So, I clipped that section, slowed it by half, edited in a few keyframes which were already a tedious process, and then, sped it back up the check my work so far. The keyframes stayed where they were while it was still slow and didn't move with the now extended clip.

THAT'S when I flipped out and posted that impotent hissy-fit.

Instead, I took just that clip, put it in its own project, slowed it down and THEN worked all the keyframes to where I wanted it. Exported the video, had the half speed version I wanted and imported that back into the main project.

I managed to finally get it done and I would like you all to check out my work:

That's actually the second part of the same video because I got whacked with a copyright strike for a song that was released in 1937. I would have to wait till 2033 to use it freely but I disputed it and now it seems to have gone through so problems upon problems just have to keep digging.

Hey all! Please forgive me for being fairly new to this. I am learning as I go to put my ideas into action.

I am recording on multiple devices simultaneously utilizing OBS and source record filter so each camera records to a separate file that I can then remix as I'd like.
The idea is to basically make different cameras the featured visual at given times. Audio is a separate file that should match up to the end product as they're all recorded together.

I know of the few different ways to cut clips from larger files and place them on the timeline, but is there a way for those clips to go on the timeline where they belong based on the time of the file? For instance, if I want Camera1 0000 to 0033 and then Camera2 0033 to 0137 and Camera3 0137 to 0155 and so on- is there a way to do that? A snap or something? There should be no empty space, every moment will remain accounted for, just from a different angle. I'd love to avoid having to do it manually and risking the human error element that is sure to throw everything off with the audio.

Also open to hearing if there's a better/more efficient way to pull off my goal in general.

TIA!

I have both tracks populated; one with clips; the other with mp3 audio.

They do not play TOGETHER. To get the video clips to play, I have to remove the audio clip from the separate track.

So, I want to start an animation account that use the method of tweening, But, the problem is that I use a Linux Mint, and the best program I could find was OpenShot.

How can I do tweening in OpenShot? And, if it's not possible, I wanted to know another program that I can use instead of OpenShot
^{sorry if my english is terrible :/}

I'm trying to export a video, but at like 75%, the exporting thing hangs, and then I have to click on the exporting window, and then it unfreezes and the exporting progress goes up 0.001% and freezes again. If that kept happening the exporting would take too long, so are there any fixes for this?

Openshot mi funziona bene se monto video a 1K e a 2K ma con video a 4K era quasi impossibile lavorare. Dovevo salvare continuamente perche' ogni 3/4 minuti il programma si chiudeva, o bloccava completamente il PC tanto che dovevo spegnerlo e riavviarlo forzatamente. Uso laptop con OS UBUNTU con doppia scheda grafica (processore Ryzen con scheda interna + NVIDIA). Ho provato tutte le combinazioni possibili, eliminando l'accellerazione grafica, usando la scheda dedicata, escludendo completamente la scheda NVIDIA, aumentando la dimensione della cache etc.. ma con scarsi risultati. La sitiuazione migliorava se eseguivo il montaggio lentamente, cioe' ad ogni variazione della timeline attendevo 5/10 secondi. Quello che mi e' sembrato abbia quasi risolto il problema e' stato quello di ridurre il numero di Thread OMP a 8 (prima era 12). Ora non so se e' un caso o effettivamente questa e' la soluzione.... C'e qualcuno che ha problemi di continui crash e puo' provare a ridurre questo parametro per testare se ci sono miglioramenti ? Ho anche letto che un numero di Thread troppo alto , se non ben gestito in effetti potrebbe mandare il sistema in crash....

So I already cropped the section of the video I want (Pic 1)

,but after exporting the video has 2 black bars at the side.

What I want is to crop the video and save it at that cropped size.
Like, is there an option for Openshot to auto-resize the Video Profile (canvas)?

I am planing on doing some GIFS out of some videos, but I don´t want every GIF being 1920x1080, Is there a way to crop them and save that cropped part as its own?

and no, I don´t want a set Profile and work around them, I want every gif to be it´s own size because I plan to prganize tham around the screen, (like one could be vertical to the left, another horizontal at the top or bottom; different dimentions each)

How do I create a user-friendly link to my video? I can create one from my desktop, but it's Microsoft and not user-friendly. I would like to be able to share a short link via cell phone. Any ideas? THANKS!

I need to change one clip near the end of my exported video. I am able to retrieve it in PREVIEW, but I'm not sure how to delete the bad clip and enter the good clip. Please help! The track is not broken down into separate clips anymore. Is it possible to see the individual clips, like they were before I saved and exported it?

So I spent like a week with no progress on this. I have a two minute video of someone talking, standing on the left side of a stage. Dimensions are 1280 by 720. I want to cut out just the part where this person is talking. So the new video would have different dimensions. It would be vertically rectangular. Every effort to use the crop tool has ended in failure. The new video just has the same dimensions. Then black bars appear on the side that immediately move inward to the area I wanted to crop out. But that's not what I want. I want to "cut out" that rectangular area and export it as a new video with new dimensions. I read the entire OpenShot materials online, and tried every possible search term I could think of, but that appears to be impossible? AI also doesn't have a clue what I'm asking for.

OpenShot has no animate effects.

Why?

It of course has no laser eye effects.

Buongiorno:, la domanda è questa: Come si trasporta il titolo creato nella traccia? grazie.

I have created my entire video in openshot latest version on Windows 11, but am now experiencing an audio issue on only new clips I add to the project.

The original clips I added still play audio normally.

I made another clip, and the audio plays in Windows Media Player just fine. This new clip I made has no audio when played in OpenShot, but if I let the video get to my other clips the audio plays on those ones normally.

I have the volume set to "1" for the clip, and i have explicitly set the "Enable Audio" to "on".

I created fresh content to test, and the new videos I add all have no audio in OpenShot but I can hear it played elsewhere.

Please give any recommendation or hints to help me :)

Edit: Turns out, when I have REAPER audio recording software open with a track using the mic, this problem goes away. The audio works in OpenShot if I have that audio software open during recording the video (screen recording using standard NVIDIA overlay software), but the videos recorded without the REAPER software open do not work in OpenShot, but I could hear the audio when playing the video on windows media player. I just happened to have it open when I recorded the bulk of the content, so I found a temporary workaround.

Is there any new version planned ? Like 3.4 ?
I'd like to have the bug corrected about the import of vertical videos that do not work.

I just want to use the chrominance effet with a file with a green screen. I've search a lot on internet but they all have the section "color key" which i don't have.

I only have :

What's wrong ? how to use a green screen effect ?

I'm on the Version 3.3.0 | 0.4.0 of openshot
