1 year into Shotcut ! Thank You

[seemon]

Hi all,

Thought I like to express my gratitude to this Shotcut community after my 1 year stint using shotcut to build video clips which has become my hobby now.

I like to thank to many helpful people in this Shotcut community, with some people here that has inspire me on taking up “video editing” as my hobby. … @Namna, @MusicalBox, @jonray, @DvS, @Elusien, @sauron, @DRM, @Hudson555x and a few others. Their helpful suggestions in solving some of my problems in using shotcut has made my learning of shotcut very delightful. Jonray and a few others continuous attempt to do animation with Shotcut is most admirable … and that leads me to Blender as shotcut leader had suggested.

So with Shotcut and Blender, I am making personal projects (video clip) as my permanent hobby now.

Just to share with you a clip I had first publish (in view of the Corona crisis) of what learnt then .

Living in Corona Crisis ("Kokomo" parody song)

to my most recent video clip with Shotcut and Blender.

#83 Blender 2.92 Sydney Opera House - GIS / OSM addon scene

It has been a long way since … just wanted to say thank you again.
Oh I have even got my wife into video editing with Shotcut too … and she just love it and have started to release her own video clips.

Cheers.

That last video with the drones is very impressive. You put a lot of work in your videos and I’m glad the forum was there to provide help or inspiration when you needed it.

[seemon]

Thank you @MusicalBox … I have not really gone into “realism” yet as still a lot to learn in both shotcut and Blender combination.

Good 3D effects!

@seemon

I like to thank to many helpful people in this Shotcut community,

Thank you @seemon for your kind words. Seems we have a bunch of folks on here who all seem to get on well And of course let’s not forget @shotcut and @brian without whom none of this would be happening.
Love your Blender animations!

[seemon]

You are welcome Jonray and certainly can’t forget @shotcut who has been indeed very very helpful.
I can’t recall @brian … but surely must be a great member too.

Thanks too @bentacular.

Here’s the 2nd part of my video attempting to simulate multiple drones flying … that I saw on an advertisement but created my own scenarios. But guess more work is needed.

#85 Blender - camera image background - Blue Mountain

I took the liberty to “steal” the video clip from @musicalbox on Youtube advertisement in this thread

Tutorial: How to export a video with transparency

Excellent point. I wasn’t really advocating for Use MLT XML As Clip. I was just noticing that embedding Chroma Key filters on the Output track had an additional benefit if the MLT Clip feature was ever used.

Also take on the idea of using “Balabolka” voice translation shared by @Elusien into the ending part of this video clip that I just made - Blue Mountain. Kind of funny …

Maybe it’s time to advertise too in Youtube…

[jonray]

Cool video!! Love the humour at the end!!

@seemon

I can’t recall @brian

Brian is the other main developer of MLT-Shotcut. He has made over 250 contributions to the code - (see below):

hi @jonray,
Is this funny somewhat … like to seek your sense of humour before embarking something bigger

#89 Blender - Lip Sync with Rhubarb using MMD and Royal Skies models

[jonray]

That’s really cool, and funny, @seemon! Loved the vibrato on the singing!! Clever!

[seemon]

Ah glad you like it @jonray … yes lips vibrato part is realistic somewhat.
So nothing offensive …

Any other thoughts from anyone is appreciated.
