Good video, just subscribed. I was watching on a TV so that I could see what you were highlighting at the time, but zooming in would have solved this problem presumably.
Sure thing glad it helped! There's many people who watch these videos with varying preferences including video and audio presentations so I try to make it as easy as possible for most while also taking into consideration the time it takes me to create these weekly videos.
I really appreciate this video. I tried using Shotcut in the past and found it to be lacking. I have been doing all my video editing on my iphone 8+ with imovie. I now am about to use my new iphone 11 and will be using Shotcut now. Thanks again for your video.
I think you have some of the best tutorials on U-Tube, clear and precise. I have found using multiple filters impacts performance, have you done a tutorial on Proxy files? Great job,I appreciate your work. Go Saints!! LOL
You're very welcome Richard! And I agree that more filters does impact performance. Who Dat?...⚜️ And yes I have done a Shotcut Proxy tutorial: th-cam.com/video/Y9vsHNs4rf0/w-d-xo.html
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand Thank you!! I was touched by your comments about the passing of a fellow "UTube Geek", the world could use more kind hearted people such as yourself.
Thank you for the guide. I was able to convert all of my intros over to this platform. My only question is how to get the sound not to play when clicking or dragging within the timeline scroll bar.
Howdy, thanks for the video! HOw do I use my keyboard keys on my computer keyboard to go backward on the timeline if I need to see something again? I used the left and right arrowed keys but they are slow and don't change where I am too fast, on the timeline.
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand Thanks so much. Found those. They ....sometimes work lol How do YOU reverse or fastforward on the timeline. And the playhead is a pain in the rear-end. I have to put my cursor in the right place or it doesn't respond. You find that to be true? lol
I have been following your videos in order to replace Corel Videostudio which has become a nightmare. What confuses me is that Shotcut seems nearly identical to NCH VideoPad software at the first look ! Can you shed any light on this ?
Hi. Regarding Shotcut, I know how detach audio and video parts of a clip along the timeline. I wonder if is possible (it must be!) and how to re-attach / relink them after changing their respective size / positions in timeline, ex: a sound advance.
Hello, Thank you for the awesome tutorial and deciphering all buttons. Today, and during the past two months I had to uninstall and reinstall the "shotcut" hoping to overcome the problem of lagging and frequent "not responding" messages. My laptop is a powerful Windows Book 2 and there is no problem with other apps and software. Is this problem inherent to "shotcut" or there is something else in play? Any hint or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Transitions are not really made by adding filters. You change and modify the type of transition in the "Properties" tab. You can also add text as it's own clip by going to "Open Other" and choosing "Text".
Thanks for pointing that out! All the Transitions (both Video and Audio) were under the Filters Tab even if you're not looking at the Transition Clip Properties however as you pointed out, there are multiple ways to do add them.
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand The Filters tab is not for transitions. They are just video and audio effects. You access the controls for transitions by selecting the transition clip that you create then going to Properties tab.
Unfortunately as far as I know, there currently isn't a way to group clips like other video editors like Davinci, Premiere, Kdenlive, etc... Hopefully they'll add this very useful (and I'd say essential feature) in future updates.
You can when you export however if you're original video clips weren't in 4K, then it won't improve to 4K quality it'll simply stretch your original videos to 4k resolution.
If i shoot separate short vids of several goals being scored in a football game, how can I link each vid together in shotcut so I have just one long vid with all the goals in it?
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand Thanks,I'm making some headway and can string several short clips together to make 1 long vid, but whenever I try to string about a dozen short clips together, shotcut crashes and the message comes up- "Shotcut has stopped working". So is there a size limit on long vids or am i doing something wrong?
For some reason my ENTER key doesn't toggle between the Project and Source tabs. Am I forgetting a step? I thought I just hit enter and it would go back and forth between the tabs. It's stuck on the Project tab.
Thank you for this tutorial video. I just started editing video last couple of days. Never done that before. But I have a question. What is the minimum length and quality for a certain video can be edited through Shotcut? Thank you
Hmmm if you're asking about adjusting length/size of clips, then you'll have to do that manually as I don't think there's an automatic timeline/clip adjustor.
i make one video 6 minute length , in that video track i insert one of my image as a video preview or thumbnail , after export i cant see my image as video preview not showing my image first , how can i fix that image should be my thumbnail or preview please tell me......
I love your tutorials. So, when you delete a transition it goes away with part of your clip! This is the most annoying thing about shotcut! How can you avoid that?
Thx much glad you enjoyed it! As far as I know for now, yes it does unfortunately delete that part of clip where transition is whether you press delete, choose remove or even lift. I plan to do a future episode on Transitions and if there's a better way to do this in Shotcut, then I'll cover it then. I'll probably also go into other annoying things like being able to Copy and Paste Clips to different Tracks.
thanks for your reply, after doing a few different things I finally found that clicking up on the playlist X , then its allowed me to drag the time lines up, I only just found that after 2 weeks of frustration . seems all ok now. thanks
Can please someone tell me how to add a text for 5 seconds just like in the tutorial but it also moves with the object, for example l want the text to appear near someones head when the person is walking.
Yup software and things are constantly in change so things might definitely be different. And in that case, there may be newer videos on TH-cam that can provide more updated info.
I'm sure this is a good tutorial but it would be infinitely better if the mouse movements were less rapid or at least if the mouse pointer were larger, colored or something to make it visible. I almost always have to constantly switch to full screen and slow the video down to half speed to keep up with the lessons. This is not solely about this video. Almost all teachers, presenters do the same. They go way too fast.
I'm having trouble, everyone time I export a video. The first 13 Seconds are working perfectly fine. But then we it goes to a different clip, the screen turns black. Do you think you can help me?

I have been following your videos in order to replace Corel Videostudio which has become a nightmare. What confuses me is that Shotcut seems nearly identical to NCH VideoPad software at the first look ! Can you shed any light on this ?

Hey Bro, Don't talk down to yourself like that. believe in yourself and don't let nobody change your mindset of that!

I think you'd just need to drag the audio clip into video clip.
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand Thanks, but as long as I have tried, audio / video move together only if I use ripple edits across all tracks.
Thanks for the content man! I SUBBED! But could you tell me why I don't have a keyframe option on the bottom left??
You're very welcome! It might be your view settings. So you might want to check properties on top.
Just what I was looking for - thanks so much for explaining all the icons!

other desktop soft making software have more features and you can do much more than you can on mobile but the user interface in
thanks a lot it is wonderful it teaches me
No problem glad it helped!
Can it handle luma mattes? to remove any background? Masking? animated masking? displacement effects?
Some of those more Advanced Features are available and I might cover those in a future episode.
@@GeekoutdoorsBrand AWESOME! Thank you! Very excited! Really hoping soon! Desperately trying to move away from After Effects

Time duration of Titles ? How to change ?
You can extend the Titles by extending Title Clip.

Unfortunately as far as I know, there currently isn't a way to group clips like other video editors like Davinci, Premiere, Kdenlive, etc... Hopefully they'll add this very useful (and I'd say essential feature) in future updates.

You can try putting all the Shorter Clips on the same video track as 1 long video.

in my channel rack i have “808 kick” as my default and not just “kick” why
need the other half of the video!

Having problems with re-sizing the timeline & playlist etc, is it meant to just work or do I have to do something before?
