When adding this clip to the timeline, the GUI freezes for about 5 seconds. Add a 40-minute portion of the video to the timeline.When changing to a high zoom level, it can take like half a second to respond. Interestingly, the GUI is less responsive when zooming in close than when zooming out. Select a 2-minute region and add it to the timelineĪt this point, scrolling the timeline left and right is smooth and responsive, though when I change the timeline zoom, it takes about 0-0.5 seconds to repond.Drag a 2.7GB, 48-minute, 1080p video into the playlist.Steps (first a test with a short clip, then with a long clip): These problems occured with both the Ubuntu repository version and the latest AppImage, and I could reproduce them directly after a fresh restart. I believe it has something to do with rendering the timeline, and that it gets worse at higher zoom levels.įor reference, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Dell XPS 9380 (from 2019), with an Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU 1.80GHz × 8, Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2), and 16GB of RAM. Shotcut is undoubtedly the best free alternative I found on the internet.I've had this same kind of issue, and it has made Shotcut unusable when working on large projects, BUT I think I have some clues as to the problem.

I would like to help by doing tutorials and writing about it. Thank you very much!! I hope this software grows a lot and is very successful.

For me, this software is a welcome surprise from Sourceforge and I thank the developer immensely for making this great tool that helps me work. For jobs that require more speed and simplicity, I'm always using Shotcut. Despite having few (and irrelevant) bugs, Shotcut is lightweight, fast, easy, and incredibly powerful.


I work with video editing and use Adobe Premiere as well as After Effects. I'd rather use enough to have a consistent opinion. I was able to export to the format I wanted, without complication. Today I needed to use Shotcut and, in a surprising way, it was more useful than Adobe Media Encoder.
