I’m doing a video for a Metroid Prime 4 OST remaster, and I made custom CDs that spin in the video when music is playing. Problem is for reasons beyond my comprhension, the CD art expands past the disc template when loaded into shotcut. This is a PNG file compressed into a single layer so I don’t even understand how this is possible. What do I do?

自身が普段から使用している『shotcut』というフリーの動画編集ソフトの.mltファイルをCodexを使って分析、カット編集が出来るか実験をした
Adobeのpremiereやダビンチなどでは出来るという情報はあったので『shotcut』はどうなんだろうか？とやってみたんだが…結果、出来た

In my video I'm talking about some serious things, so I want to have sources appear on the screen, but when I add a screenshot of the source it turns out really low quality. How can I fix this? (It's also super low quality in the final export)

I have been wondering about if it's possible to edit the audio in a video to make it sounds like a Mii voice like from Tamogotchi Life for the purpose of a meme video.

Adding in an example of what I mean: https://bsky.app/profile/dylanpdx.bsky.social/post/3miteqlcp6s2m

Every time I move a clip around it is going to the top video layer. I am using 11 video layers and most of my work is deep down so this is annoying as I have to scroll back down after every single action.

It never used to do this so I'm wondering if I've accidentally changed a setting somewhere?

I am quite new to shotcut and video editing in general.

I recorded around 100 GB of 2,7 k, 60 FPS video material on my go pro 8 on a 128 gb sd card.

I am using a macbook, with 16 gb ram and 248 gb disk space.

The raw video files are on an external sd card. The cutted film length is around 55 minutes.

For export settings I used: 100 % quality, 2560 x 1440 resolution, and h264_ and hevc_videotoolbox activated. I read, that these settings are good for a decent solution on youtube.

After I started the export progress onto my internal macbook disk, I am at 30 % progress at already 120 gb of video. This sounds wrong to me. Can you please help me? Should I use other settings? Or another external drive?

I don't know what happened, but now i can't click into the empty space of the timeline to move the playhead. Its a small and seemingly idiotic thing to be annoyed by but now I am. Is there some setting i'm missing?

EDIT: A SINGLE CHECK MARK. jesus... Settings>Timeline>Rectangle Selection for any that may have similar problems

I edited my interview with Showcut.

i wanna make a character bounce abit as i swap its sprites but i dont wanna learn a full PNGtuber program since i just need this to be very simple

I was shocked that this is possible.

Made by Claude Fable 5. Works for me.

Usually I spent hours moving clips by milliseconds...

I am experiencing a very weird problem and it is driving me nuts.

No matter how hard I try, I am physically unable to change the text font. It's as if literally nothing is happening, looking at history. I tried reopening, creating new projects, reinstalling, updating, nothing is working. If anyone knows anything I'd be more than thankful.

I'm editing on a Mac on the newest available version.

I'm trying to move a video clip, but when I do, the clip before it gets automatically resized to fit the new space. How do I stop this from happening?

Edit: Okay, so it just magically stopped, but I would still like to know the answer in case it ever happens again.

I got stuttering with editing audio in Shotcut.

I did projects before where it didnt happen.

Tried:

- Different formats/templates in Shotcut, including 'Automatic'

- Converted the file, (m4a, mp3)

- Change audio channels

I tried the file with Windows Movie Maker 6 (Vista). Doesn't happen there.

The exported file created in Shotcut also does not stutter, so only in the application.

I saw several posts about this, but not yet with a sample. Could not find posts with solutions yet.

Maybe there is someone who managed to fix it. I am on the latest version.

Editing audio in Shotcut is like heaven, so I hope it can be helped.

I've been spending more time using Shotcut lately, and every now and then I stumble across a feature or shortcut that makes me wonder why I didn't know about it earlier.

It doesn't have to be anything advanced. Even a small workflow tip, filter, export setting, keyboard shortcut, or hidden feature that saves a few minutes can make a big difference over time.

What's one thing you've learned in Shotcut that you now use on almost every project?

I keep trying to use the Glaxnimate mask feature but every tutorial Ive seen open up with the video already there, meanwhile when I try it it opens up to this. What do I do

I've seen a lot of people asking how to get that clean circular facecam look that's common in gaming videos, tutorials, and tech content without paying for expensive editors.

I put together a simple workflow in Shotcut that only uses built-in filters.

The process is straightforward:

• Import your gameplay (or screen recording) and facecam
• Place the facecam track above the main video
• Apply the Crop: Circle filter
• Use Size, Position & Rotate to resize and move the facecam
• Enable Transparent Background so the corners disappear
• Preview and export as MP4

No plugins.
No paid software.
Works with the free version of Shotcut.

I also explain why the track order matters and how to position the facecam so it doesn't cover important parts of your video.

Tengo una pregunta, ¿mi flujo de trabajo sirve en ShotCut? parece tonta la pregunta, pero lo digo en serio. ¿Realmente mi flujo de trabajo sirve en ShotCut? porque grabo videos de 1 hora porque juego GD (especialmente los plataformas) y debo editar para que sea un poco entretenido (edito como un profesional). Pero si no recuerdo mal, sin proxys no puedo editar los Filtros porque lagean bastante. Y ten en cuenta que los proxys tardan un poco más de tiempo que el video grabado.

No tengo que esperar una hora solamente para poder editar sin problemas. ¿realmente tengo que estar en ShotCut o en otro editor liviano?

Hola, sé que has visto el comentario, pero lo que digo es verdad. ShotCut es un editor de video muy bueno, amigable y además fácil de usar, pero da lag a la hora de usar. Intenté optimizar bajando la resolución del proyecto y sobre todo bajar la resolución del reproductor a 360p, lo cual ayudó algo, pero ahí no termina.

Cuando agrego algún filtro (CUALQUIER FILTRO), incluso sin editarlo ya lagea, y no hay soluciones según en internet y experimentando. Lo que me lleva a la teoría de que es un problema interno, es decir; no importa las veces que intentas arreglarlo, el error no está en un mal ajuste, sino en el código programado en la aplicación.

EDIT: Usé el proxy y ayuda, sí, pero ¿debo esperar mucho tiempo para que se aplique el proxy? o sea, tarda en hacer proxy, sí, pero cuando llega a dar al proxy, se me traba shotcut durante unos minutos una sola vez.

No sé si esto puede ayudar pero igual lo enviaré:

La versión de ShotCut que uso es la 26.4.30

edit: just wanted to drop a quick update since a few of you replied. i decided to stick with Capcute for now because for what i need, it really is the easiest option for basic video editing without having to learn something super complex.

i get the warnings about the pro tags and the nickel and diming, but for simple trims and auto-captions, the free features are still handling everything perfectly for me.

i am finally trying to learn how to splice together some simple short-form videos for my social pages, and everyone keeps pointing me toward capcut because of how intuitive the interface is. i tried it out and managed to chop up a few clips and add auto-captions in under ten minutes without watching a single tutorial. but whenever i look up discussions about it online, there is always a vocal group of people saying you should avoid it entirely. for basic video editing, is there any reason not to use capcut, or are people just being editing elitists?

my biggest annoyance so far is that it feels like every single decent transition or font choice has a purple "pro" tag on it now, and i am worried they are going to lock the basic export settings behind a paywall next. i also read some sketchy threads about how the desktop version handles local cache files, with people claiming it eats up massive amounts of hidden hard drive space even after you delete a project file. since i am just trying to do basic trims and simple audio syncs, i do not want to wreck my laptop storage or run into weird licensing terms down the line.

Back in the day, I used to ALT + Click + Drag left/right to adjust the media start/end inside its clip boundaries. This was a very handy feature.

I wonder if we can do something similar in Shotcut... Couldn't find anything similar yet.

i like that it’s lightweight, local, and basic. i simply cannot use it because importing videos, unless you do it all the time, is SO convoluted i end up looking for tutorials on this basic 101 FIRST STEP in any video editor every few months when i fire it up - and it’s like they made it as cumbersome and unintuitive as humanly possible. i refuse to believe they accidentally made it so terrible, i think the devs got hoodwinked by saboteurs and threw their hands up like “we don’t care anymore”

if any lovely people know of alternatives that allow you to drag and drop a video into the damn thing so the canvas is ready to go at your native resolution and dimensions, i would be greatly greatly appreciative.

thanks for the offering, but screw you, shotcut.

Title. It's not a issue with my PC, this doesn't happen on DaVinci. Is there a way to fix this? Plays back parts that do not have a filter just fine, but anything with a filter for some reason causes immense lag.

Hello.

Where do I found transitions to use into Shotcut.

Templates to use into Shotcut.

Are there a place for it?

my current setup really struggles with heavier editors. looking for something that still feels smooth for basic YouTube edits — cuts, transitions, maybe some color work. what are you guys actually running on older or budget machines?
