r/OpenShot

La création de la vidéo plante chaque fois.

Le message d'erreur est le suivant mais pas toujours.

Il arrive aussi que la création de la vidéo s'arrête un plein milieu, le programme se ferme seul.

A noter que le logiciel fonctionnait bien sur mon ancien pc vieux de 10 ans !!

When I try create a title for the video before it starts, I create the title svg and then try to drag it down but it does not look the same way. It just becomes a fine line and not an image block for me to drag around or control it's duration on screen. It is different from the video tutorials on YT that I see.

目前有個「排列」向左／右對齊的功能，個人還沒發現這個功能的用處。

倒是可以指定影片與影片之間間隔時間的「分布」功能會很有用，尤其在搭配「淡入／淡出」時。

Hello,

I did an edit using OpenShot the other day an it appeared to save ok as I opened the project a couple of times. However, if I try to open it now I'm getting the following error message: [Errno 1] Operation Not Permitted (followed by the location and filename).

Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems opening OSP files seem to involve issues with files being moved etc but that isn't the case here and the project simply won't open. When I did a search using the error message it appears to be a more general permission issue.
I've been trying to think of something that might've caused this change but am drawing a blank - any help here would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance

Been looking around and I can't find anything online. Is there a way to make Openshot use my GPU instead of my CPU and render Frames faster? like more the 30FPS on a vid that is 60? or maybe even like render up at 120?

Hardware: Ryzen 9 7900X, RTX 5080, 64 GB RAM @ 6000MT/s, Windows 11 25H2, OpenShot 3.3.0 | 0.4.0

I use obs to record videos but the markers i make using the add chapter marker feature in obs don't show up in openshot. Is there a way to find them?

The videos I'm processing is taken while biking so very unstable. On top of this I speed up the footage 4-16x. The stabilisation in OpenShot has mostly no trouble with this but ofcourse there are large black borders jumping around. I have been trying to figure out some way of not having to zoom the video to hide them since that would mean loosing 50% of the video in some cases :-)

So I was thinking if this black area would be transparent I could just put the original video in the background with loads of blur to make it less flickery. Or if I could choose color to use like a greenscreen keying to replace with the blurry original video. I have tried pure black for keying but this picks up too much of dark elements in the videos.

Is there any way of doing this in OpenShot?

slider is irritating THIN to work with....PLEASE a thicker one!

other users: help me by supporting this request PLEASE!

My exported file has issues, the worst of which is that upon reaching a certain point the audio track goes into a continuous machine gun-like stuttering. Not a minor glitch, but a full-on saw wave style noise. I'm using a professional level audio interface, by the way.
The video remains good, except for a tiny shift during some transitions between fixed images.
Any thoughts appreciated.

waar kan ik de helderheid en contrast instellen in de laatste versie van Openshot?

Bonjour, j'ai fait une vidéo, et je voudrais au montage ou avant flouter les visages des personnes qui sont sur la vidéo, est ce possible et comment? Merci

I'm doing a project that has me recording stuff with OBS Studio, problem is there's this one video I'm recording whose audio is out of sync with the video. A character's lips will start moving a whole second before the voice kicks in, sound effects play a half second after the sequence, that sort of thing. I'm already editing these recordings in OpenShot as part of my project, in this specific case I need to take it a step further. Is there a way to rearrange the audio of a recording to resync it wuth the video in OpenShot? I'm sure there's a tutorial video out there, but how would I even search that, there's no succinct way to put that in a search bar, asking on Reddit seems more sensible in this case.

I have installed Ubuntu 25.10 and now openshot appimage won't run. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

Hello everyone,

I need your help, please!

I have an OpenShot clip that consists of a simple "still" image to which I added a fade-in and a fade-out effects, so that, of course, I have some key-frames near the beginning and some near the ending of the clip.

Ok, now I would like to extend the clip "in the middle", keeping the starting and the ending key-frames in their "relative" position (the former ones to the begin the latter ones to the end), how can this be done?

By now, I know I could do two things:

* drag the border of the clip (left or right) to extend its duration BUT that, of course, won't let me drag the (starting or ending) key-frames that would be "statically" left on their position ignoring my action;

* slice the clip in two on the middle, then move the new right clip part and finally "fill" the gap by inserting again the "still" image making its duration the same of the gap I need to fill... This could work, I know, BUT I'll end up having 3 clip instead of just one to get what I need (...and I really think there would be no way to merge them into one at that point) so if I then want to apply some other effect (like an alpha mask, for instance) I would have to apply it three times... So... I thought that can't be really the convenient way to do it, is it?

So, in summary, my question is:

is there and what is the most convenient way to extend or reduce an OpenShot clip duration "in the middle", preserving the "relative" positioning of key-frames I have put at the start and at the end of that clip?

Thank you very much for your support!

I have a laptop with Windows 11 and the following HW

• Intel i7-10875H

• 64 GB Ram

• nvidia Quadro T2000

• SSD

On this laptop I use Openshot to process vacation videos, The project includes many short mp4 videos taken with smartphones, which I cut, move, add music, etc.

The question is: how to configure OpenShot for the best performance on this machine? Can it utilize this GPU? Can I give it more memory? And how?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

will this ever available someday? I'm not a Linux user, but I'd like to have hardware acceleration on my gamer laptop, I have a NVIDIA gpu.

Simple as said, im on linux, i have installed openshot through flatpak and i not only cant see it in the presets when exporting, but typing in the advanced tab video settings the three options i found from it just spits out this error

Edit: Seems saving project causes the export of stabilizer not to work again until I create new project.

I have some long clips made with a cheap action cam. I put them into OpenShot and cut them down to 35 sec for fast testing. I pull the Stabilize effect on it and leave window setting at 30,0. The processing finishes and I can see the frame jumping around a lot in the preview window after stabilizing.

I export as: (cpu) MP4 (h.264)
- HD 720p 60 fps (1280x720) (same as video source)
- Quality: High

The output is identical to the source, no bobbing around with black frames (I have not applied zoom on stabilizer for easy testing) and no stabilized output.

When I reload the project in OpenShot the preview does no longer show the stabilized video, only shaky original video. The effect is still applied to the clip but not visible.

Other effects like pixelate seem to work fine. Stabilize also sometimes works if I only do that and directly export like above. If I touch zoom or anything else on Stabilize it won't work until I shut down the program and create a new project.

I'm using Windows 10, OpenShot versions: 3.1.1, 3.3.0, 3.4.0-release-candidate-14793-a7dfc596-0b018e34-x86_64

I installed over the old, I reinstalled over the new with the old, I uninstalled and reinstalled again. I installed latest daily build. I have used ffmpeg from commandline and updated that too but I installed OpenShot after that.

Am I doing something wrong?

I’m trying to put a custom mask image from GIMP into transition folder for openshot but it says saving failed, could not open file for writing: permission denied. Anyway to solve this?

Please can someone tell me the setting to turn this off? I imported a .png image into my project, and had it appear on screen for 10s, but when I play the video there’s there’s like a timecode ticking up in the top corner of the image (not the top corner of the video).

I’m not sure how I got it there, or which setting to remove it?

Hi, I'm just doing simple video editing and started to transition from using Mac/iMove to PC/OpenShot.

One feature I thought was helpful in iMovie, is that once I loaded all of my videos into the project, in the video thumbnail view, it would have an indicator if I actually pulled that video into the project timeline and used it in some sort of way.

Is there a similar feature or way to do this in OpenShot?

How to insert text in the clipping in open shot?

How can I mute the sound and create video without the sound

Hello,

I want to censor curse words in a video. I already have the transcript.

I've read guides that say other editing software lets you find the time in the video for any word in the transcript you want to censor. You can use that feature to jump to all the places where the words to censor are, and drop a BEEP on that part of the audio track.

Does Openshot have that feature? To save time, I don't want to watch the entire movie and listen out for the words I want to sensor.

Thanks

I tried to do a small experiment where I would export a single xml file containing a single jpeg image going to point A to point B and then reimport it back as part of a different project, but I just can't import it back due to an error claiming that the jpeg file is unavailable and cannot be found despite that xml file being located in the same folder path in mac os, how do I solve this issue?

I'm new to video editing and don't really know what I'm doing yet. I made a clip from a larger mp4 using Split File and then Export Files. The result plays fine in some players but in VLC I always have to go in and manually choose Track 1 for the video track or else it just plays audio and no video. Any idea why?

Je ne trouve pas comment créer des dossiers ( des chutiers) pour ranger les rushs par séquence

I know how to manually add titles, and to import text from external; sources.

I'm wondering if there is any way (native in app or via other plugins) to have it generate text titles from speech in video (i.e. commonly referred to as Speech to Text)?
Specifically, take a music video and generate lyric captions from the audio track of the video?

How do I add text to the video? Because I'm trying to make a video with text, so I don't have to use my voice.

Bonjour,

Je viens d'installer Open shot video editor 3.30 sur mon ordinateur portable HP Windows 8. Au moment de l'éxécution du programme, voilà ce qui la fenêtre indique :

erreur au démarrage du serveur http local ('127.0.1' , 49504) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xee in position 4 : invalide continuation byte

1 - is there a way to crop stuff, like, taking a picture and cutting out the edges kind of crop

2- is there any way to disable a forced animation of media from just trying to adjust and move it

first audio .mp3s go into the video section instead of audio section? Second, imported .mkv files do not have their audio functioning? The video and snipping there of works perfectly fine.

Hello; this is my first time using Openshot (or any animation/video editing software)--I've researched on keyframes in general that they are key points where the animation subject 'changes', so when you have a point at the start, you slide the scrub bar to the end to pan down something and move the Location Y to be at the bottom.

The issue I'm having is; it pans down the one side fine, but around 0:00:7-8 in the video clip I post here, it suddenly 'jumps' to the right side of the image and pans out--could anyone explain what might be happening here?

My goal is for the camera to move over to the right top of the newspaper, and once at the top, zoom in slightly to read the lettering, then pan down to the right side block of the newspaper, and fade out after a moment.

Let me know if anyone needs the configs for the Scale X/Y or Location X/Y, or anything else! Ill happily provide. Just been working at this a bit and a bit frustrated. xD

Hi i am trying to export a song with video from wav file. I have done this before no problems but this song has notice in sound quality drop? It was exporting 192kps i change to 320kps and that didnt help?

Hello! I have moving into OpenShot from (gasp) Windows XP Movie Maker. I love that we have easily executable speed options, which are in the same speed options as Movie Maker had, except it stops at x16. I typically use x32 when editing my speedart (timelapse drawing) videos. I know that there is a (admittedly confusing) manually way to adjust the time through Properties in the FAQ, but it would be super handy just to have it added in as one of the default fast-forward increment options that just makes sense to me. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Im trying to switch from cyberlink power director which had built in effects. Are there similar effects I can install or download for open shot? Im looking for things like, rain, snow, fog, water etc.

thanks

Gostaria de saber se existe alguma forma de criar efeito de vídeo para openshot pois ele sendo opensource é possível criar efeito

I've just started using openshot to edit and I've noticed occasionally when a clip transitions to the next (no actual transition used) there is a quick like static noise at the start of the next clip

The noise doesn't appear in the preview only once the video is exported.

If anyone knows how to stop this I'd be very grateful!

Файлы в проекте не определяются из-за внутренней ошибки! Как восстановить проект ?

No me gustaba el aspecto de las etiquetas, ya que aparece todo el nombre del vídeo (versión 3.3.0) pues en la anterior versión no salía (versión 3.2.1), y así quería que continuara. Entré en editar, quité parámetros para ver qué pasaba. Dí a guardar. No se resolvió: volví a entrar y volví a poner parámetros (son las tres últimas casillas en editar, que se pueden marcar o desmarcar). Le dí a aplicar. Pero pasó algo. En la apariencia, en lugar del cursor aparecer en rojo, estaba en amarillo. Y lo que es peor: NO PODÍA MINIMIZAR LA PÁGINA. Con lo que tuve que salir.

Desinstalé el programa, y lo volví a instalar. Pero apareció un nuevo problema: NO APARECE EL EMOTICONO DEL "ACCESO RÁPIDO" en el escritorio.

He mirado de quitar la carpeta del programa. Pero sin resultado. Aun instalando versiones anteriores, (las cuales tengo), no sirve. Siempre se instala la más moderna, y los problemas persisten.

Naturalmente, habiéndose borrado todo, deshaciéndome de los programas, he probado a reiniciar el ordenador. Nada sirve. Y veo que vuelve a aparecer la carpeta del programa, con todos los elementos. Es como si quedase almacenado en alguna parte. No sirve por tanto, que diga que no los quiero, (según advertencia antes de borrar la carpeta del programa). Al volver a instalar cualquier versión, la carpeta se restituye igual que estaba, y siempre con la última versión.

No sé qué más tengo que hacer, pues incluso he descargado de nuevo el programa, pero sigue todo igual. Intento que vuelva a sus características iniciales, pero veo que no lo tiene previsto. Es decir: deshacer parámetros y volver a como venían originalmente.

Hey everyone:

I’m trying to setup the best way to make videos for my gaming YouTube. Is GPU hardware acceleration and encoding still experimental? I have a NVIDIA RTX 5070, and I would like to use it to export videos. How do I set this up?

Есть ли в разделе ТИТРЫ "бегущая строка"?

Hello, my message goes to the attention of openshot developers and also anyone who can help.

I am asking for your help with a problem I am encountering in the context of integrating the OpenShot Video Editor 3.3.0 software into our professional environment.

After analysis, we found that certain options accessible via the “Help” menu do not comply with our internal security and confidentiality rules.

Here are the features we would like to disable: Report a bug (F3) Ask a question (F4) Join our Community (F5) Translate this app (F6) Make a donation (F7) About OpenShot (Ctrl+H)

We have identified the following configuration file: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenShot Video Editor\settings_default.settings However, it doesn't seem to allow these options to be disabled.

Furthermore, we also want to deactivate automatic updates (“Version Loading” function).

Does anyone have a procedure or solution to suggest to us to block these elements?

Any documentation or technical assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

When I insert a clip in a timeline, I expect everything to the right to move over.
Instead it overwrites whatever is in the way. It feels like this is a setting that I can't find, but I'm having no luck finding it. Smacking myself in the head with a wooden spoon over this, I know it's gotta be obvious.

Got some screen capute footage I'm trying to convert into a vertical gif but the footage is in full horizontal screen and id really like to only get what's shown in the middle. Is there any guide for cropping it and not having a load of black lines at the end as well as maintaining decent quality?

Under the export advanced I need to save the audio settings, so I don't have to change then every time I export. It always goes back to Stereo (2-channel) and 192 bit rate. I need 5.1 and 640.

I get this error when trying to install OpenShot

/dev/fd/63: line 42: ./OpenShot-v3.4.0-release-candidate-14712-0932af2c-0b018e34-x86_64.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Hey, I have a weird issue. The audio file over my video clip keeps getting randomly cut off during editing. I tried reseting the volume, and setting the entire file to 100% but nothing works. I tried making a new project but the same thing keeps happening. This happened after I found out the vertical video I was making wasn't profiled as vertical, so I changed it, and now this is happening with the audio. Does anyone know what's up?

Is this kinda slow exporting okay?
How to fix it?

Hello all!

I’ve been using OpenShot here and there for some time, and I’ve never had many issues aside from occasional crashing. However, I’m editing a video, and it’s all complete, but the exporting is just a nightmare and I’m unsure how to fix it.

The video is about half an hour long - it’s a 1-2 minute intro, then just a single 28 minute clip. When I export in FHD 60FPS 1080p (like I always have), the export time is insanely long. Like… I left it exporting for 13 hours, and it only went just above 50%. This seems like a bug? How can I improve this without sacrificing video quality?

Again, it never used to take THIS long. Could it be the number of tracks? Additionally, I turned on hardware acceleration, but that turned all of the clips bright green, so I need to disable that again haha.

Any help would be appreciated!

How to insert text in the video?

UPDATE: I did a search in C: for "Descript" and the installer was still in the Downloads folder. Deleted it and OS is working again. But I'll leave this up for anyone who dares cheat on OpenShot with Descript.

UPDATE 2: Now it is deleting or shortening clips when I move them. Sigh. It's like it's possessed.

I was using OpenShot this morning without issues. Exported 7 or 8 videos. Then I installed the Descript app and suddenly OS won't export. It started with OS not uploading files. I deleted OS and its folders, deleted Descript, reinstalled OS using the Daily Build, and then could upload files again. But now I am getting different error messages or OS just shuts down every time I try to export. I deleted it again and installed the Daily Build a second time. Error messages have included "failed to allocate image buffer," "std::bad_alloc," "audio codec not found," "openshot could not open video codec." Seriously, it's a different error each time. If I don't get an error, it starts to export and then closes. One time it started to export and stayed open, but said it would take 2 hours. These are 5 minute videos. I tried redoing one of the videos I made this morning, and got the same issues. So it's not my files unless Descript did something to them, but I only uploaded one video to Descript and I deleted it about 15 minutes after installing it.

I have increased the OS cache limit to 10,000 MB and followed every other piece of advice I can find for each specific error message. Any suggestions?

I have a Puget Systems desktop running Windows 10 Pro with 31.8 GB of usable RAM. Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz 3.79 GHz. I'm not super computer savvy, but I can follow directions.

For some reason the Video Splitter tool doesn't work right in the new release, it'll be fine for the first clip but than it will completely be off for the new clip. And the only way to fix it is if you turn the tool off than turn it back off. It's even more strange because it isn't a problem with the older 3.1.1 Version. But it's an issue with the new release. This actually made me have to download the older version because it split better. Does anyone else have this problem?

Bonjour

Je n’arrive plus à créer un nouveau projet sur OpenShot. L'application s'ouvre, je peux importer des fichiers mais les pistes n'apparaissent pas et j'ai un écran noir en dessous des fichiers (photos ou vidéos) que j'ai importé. Pouvez-vous m'aider à solutionner le problème.

Pour info j'utilise l'appli depuis plusieurs années et je n'ai jamais rencontré ce problème.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide

I know this has been posted before but now is a critical time, Tahoe is the last version to support Intel Macs and Rosetta is going to be deprecated along with it

When I remove a keyframe, for example when I only want to change the volume, I remove the keyframe, but as soon as I change the volume in OpenShot, it immediately adds a new keyframe.

Saludos para todos los lectores.

Tengo un video en formato mp4 que, además de tener el audio desfasado (eso lo pude corregir), también necesito extenderlo y ralentizarlo sólo un poco para que coincida correctamente lo que se ve con lo que se escucha.

Para que se den una idea, el video tiene una duración aproximada de 30 minutos.

El audio (una vez corregido el desfasaje) dura aproximadamente 29 minutos pero al comienzo sigue desfasado, no así al final.

Con Magix Vegas 15 (ex Sony Vegas; que es el que mi PC soporta) se puede hacer fácilmente manteniendo pulsada la tecla Ctrl y arrastrar con el mouse de uno de los extremos del audio en la línea de tiempo. El problema con este programa es que no soporta el formato mp4. O sea, soporta sólo el video pero no el audio. Para poder editarlo allí previamente debo convertirlo en formato wmv.

Intenté haciendo clic derecho sobre la pista de audio > Tiempo > Lento > Retroceder (y también Avanzar) pero con cualquier opción de las preestablecidas el audio se extiende más allá de 1 hora y obviamente se escucha excesivamente lento.

¿Será que existe alguna manera de hacer lo mismo que en Vegas pero en OpenShot?

Desde ya, muchas gracias por la ayuda que me puedan brindar.

This could apply to other files (images) too, I guess. I'm trying to put multiple images/titels on top of something on a video clip and have it continuously move to cover the object using keyframes. I'm having trouble, though, because I can't figure out how to move multiple images at once easily. I could go through and adjust each frame using the properties panel, but that would be extremely tedious compared to grouping all of them somehow and then being able to drag them all around together. Is there a way to do this within the program?

Hello, I use openshot for animation which means that the best quality short film can be created via importing images that previously, the software would condense into image sequences that flowed smoothly at 24fps. Now, when I open OpenShot I go to do this and get the pop up prompting me to click yes and import images as an image sequence (it only lists the name of the first file selected in the bunch, e.g "sc1_0012" even though there are 100 other frames in there) but when I select yes all the software does is load in all of the 100 images EXCEPT for the one it asked to turn into a sequence and does not deliver me any form of video sequence. It is causing me a lot of frustration as I have no way now to create animations and edit them for export without downgrading the quality of the work by exporting as a Mov from clip studio paint and then exporting it AGAIN in OpenShot after compiling the Mov files. I have the most recent version of the software too so it isn't that it needs an update.

I've gotten chipmunk sound. I've read enough to see what settings I need to change, but when I set it to 48000 and restart it brings it exactly back to 2200. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and tried finding an answer or something similar but haven't found anything so far.

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.

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:

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 , 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?

All of a sudden out of the blue, it's taking OpenShot 45-60 seconds to respond to almost each input I do, whether it's cutting a video clip, moving a video clip, etc. I don't understand. I've been using Openshot for about half a year now and all of a sudden today, the program is freezing when doing most inputs. I thought perhaps it was because the video I was making was over 15 minutes. So I decided to close the program, reboot, and create a new project, but it's exactly the same.

I'm currently using 3.2.1. I tried using 3.3.0 earlier this year but it has horrible bugs, making it a nightmare to use, so I reverted back to 3.2.1. Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

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.
