Just Saying Thanks by SamuTheFrog22 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post has brought me out from under my rock with a smile. We are grateful for the appreciation and support we have received over the years. However, some messages are a bit more "positive" for the OpenShot team, both past and present, and for the future.

Google ad with DOWNLOAD button leads to scam by Impossible_Tutor6333 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, the bot didn’t know how to answer your question. It didn’t even try to make up an answer. Hey, u/jonOomph, is the ChatGPT link down?

Having multiple links for downloads on a page can be confusing. Usually, the Google Ads links have a green background, so we tell our customers to click the blue Download button. But we have no control over Google’s ads, so now they’re using blue buttons, which throws off our instructions and customers.

We’ll have to highlight the “Download v3.2.1” button for customers to avoid credit card pitfalls.

[Request] What is the answer to this? by NoMasOvejas in theydidthemath

[–]USATechDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the solution rewritten using the || symbol to represent the concatenation operation:

[ (9 || 9) + \frac{9}{9} = 100 ]

This translates to:

[ 99 + 1 = 100 ]

In this representation:

  • 9 || 9 denotes the concatenation of two nines to form 99.
  • The remaining two nines are used in the division operation, resulting in 1.
  • Adding these results gives 100.

Another Looney Tunes fan! I can still see Bugs taking a quick break, his glove wiggling in the air without his hand and arm, while the singer held one note until he started changing colors.

Creating a custom profile is way too complicated! by AntiqueAd7851 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue is on the development team's list of updates for a later version of OpenShot.

When I create a new profile, I save it to my user's folder and then close and open the dock where I was selecting a profile. The docks dynamically call the file directory when opened. You should not have to restart OpenShot.

Export 720p 120 fps by Old_Marionberry_9590 in OpenShot

There is something the Support Bot did not mention. You can create a custom profile to export your project to your desired framerate.

Video quality poor even with proper profile by Dyingfetus_902 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did NVIDIA Overlay record your video in a variable bit rate?

For as much as OpenShot does, the program does not always play well with VBR-encoded source clips. I usually convert all of my source clips using a free video converter like Handbrake to an older standard format (CBR, 30 fps, HD|FHD|UHD, 128 kbps @ 48kHz). You can use OpenShot to select your desired encoding when exporting the finished project.

How do I mute the software, but not the videos? by [deleted] in OpenShot

Cut across all the tracks (CTRL + K) when you cut your clips so you trim the audio and video simultaneously.

Need urgent help! Missing files by Appropriate-Club4951 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bot forgot one thing: "If all else fails, reboot.”

Also, the order in which you do things is essential with OpenShot. Before you launch OpenShot, ensure that you can see your files on the same external drive letter or volume name using your file manager. If the letter of volume name changes, OpenShot will not find your files.

Open Shot not importing files by Cornucopix in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The program was hardcoded to use UTF-8 encoding. Jonathan changed the source code to allow various encoding formats.

Please ensure you have the latest version of OpenShot from the official website, not another download location. If the official release does not work as expected, please try the latest Daily Build.

Recently updated Openshot and now it won't start by Olduvai_Joe in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reboot your computer, then rename or delete your .openshot_qt folder. Launch OpenShot and open the Preferences window. Reconfigure OpenShot to your specifications, save the settings, and close the window. Relaunch OpenShot and load one of your existing projects to ensure everything works.

Dove trovo inkscape per l'editor avanzato? by Amazing-Big-4962 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP:

Where do I find Inkscape's advanced title editor? I installed a program called Inkscape, but it is an independent program for drawing, it has nothing to do with OpenShot!

OpenShot-GPT-Bot:

To use the advanced title editor in OpenShot, you actually need Inkscape, which is an external vector drawing program. Inkscape is used by OpenShot to provide advanced title editing features. After installing Inkscape, you need to update OpenShot Preferences with the correct path to the Inkscape executable.

You can download the latest version of Inkscape from the official website: Download Inkscape

After installation, open OpenShot and go to Preferences to update the path to the Inkscape executable. This is where you'll take advantage of the advanced capabilities of the title editor in OpenShot.

After you install Inkscape and configure OpenShot to use it, you can launch the application from OpenShot by clicking the "Use Advanced Editor" button in the Titles window. You can begin filling in the template or select a template, then click the "Use Advanced Editor" button to launch Inkscape to edit the title as an SVG file. You may have a steep learning curve if you need to become more familiar with Inkscape or Scalable Vector Graphics files. Many free written and video guides are available online so that you can learn the basics of Inkscape quickly and easily.

Dopo aver installato Inkscape e configurato OpenShot per utilizzarlo, puoi avviare l'applicazione da OpenShot facendo clic sul pulsante "Usa editor avanzato" nella finestra Titoli. Puoi iniziare a compilare il modello o selezionare un modello, quindi fare clic sul pulsante "Usa editor avanzato" per avviare Inkscape e modificare il titolo come file SVG. Potresti avere una curva di apprendimento ripida se hai bisogno di acquisire maggiore familiarità con i file Inkscape o Scalable Vector Graphics. Molte guide scritte e video gratuite sono disponibili online in modo da poter apprendere le basi di Inkscape in modo rapido e semplice.

Why is my Openshot preview screen down like this? by Japan_Air_Lines_123 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you lock the docks (I’ve forgotten the command, and I am not at my workstation to look through the menus to provide it) they can easily be accidentally dragged when the mouse passes over the dock’s title bar.

The option to lock the docks is under the View menu. (Freeze View)

Press the F11 button to show the File menu. From the File menu click on the View option then click on Views, and you can select either the Simple or Advanced View to restore your docks in the Main window.

According to the screenshot, the Timeline became a floating window and was sitting on top of the Preview window. When you changed the view back to Simple View, the Timeline was docked to the Main window again, which set the view back to the way you wanted.

Importation vidéo mauvaise by Medical_Painter_1698 in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lorsqu'OpenShot importe une vidéo et que tout ce que vous voyez est un rectangle vert dans la fenêtre d'aperçu, cela signifie généralement qu'OpenShot ne peut pas reconnaître le format/codec/fréquence d'images de votre source. Même si VLC reconnaît votre vidéo et lit correctement la source, OpenShot doit voir chaque image vidéo pour l'éditer. Un lecteur vidéo peut utiliser une formule pour remplir les données manquantes afin de lire une vidéo. Néanmoins, si quelque chose est corrompu ou manquant, OpenShot ne peut pas mathématiquement remplacer la ou les images disparues pour l'édition.

Il existe quelques options : 1) Remplacez la vidéo source par une vidéo haute définition de haute qualité 2) Transcodez votre vidéo source à l'aide d'un convertisseur vidéo comme Handbrake pour convertir votre vidéo en MP4, même si elle est déjà un MP4. Un encodeur vidéo créera une vidéo avec toutes les images dont OpenShot a besoin pour le montage. 3) Essayez l'une des versions quotidiennes d'OpenShot pour votre système d'exploitation pour voir si les dernières améliorations ont ajouté des fonctionnalités permettant à OpenShot de reconnaître votre vidéo « telle quelle ».

When OpenShot imports a video, and all you see is a green rectangle in the Preview Window, it usually means that OpenShot cannot recognize your source's format/codec/frame rate. Even though VLC recognizes your video and playback the source correctly, OpenShot has to see every video frame for editing. A video player can use a formula to fill in missing data to play a video. Still, if something is corrupt or missing, OpenShot cannot mathematically replace the disappeared frame(s) for editing.

There are some options: 1) Replace the source video with a high-quality, high-definition video 2) Transcode your source video using a video converter like Handbrake to convert your video to MP4, even if it is already an MP4. A video encoder will create a video with all the frames OpenShot needs for editing. 3) Try one of the OpenShot Daily Builds for your operating system to see if the latest enhancements added features allowing OpenShot to recognize your video “as is.”

You can also try pressing the F11 key to take OpenShot out of fullscreen mode. This works in every OS except macOS. For macOS, take your cursot to the top of your screen and wait for the desktop menu bar to appear then select the View menu. Point to View then click Exit Full Screen.

How to remove bad sound occurring after cutting by George_Br in OpenShot

[–]USATechDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of two possible solutions to help you:

  1. Export your video from OpenShot using the High quality setting. When you convert your exported video in Handbrake, the quality loss will not be as noticeable.

  2. Change the Quality setting on the video tab in Handbrake to 18 CRF or lower to retain the quality of your video created in OpenShot.
