I just downloaded Shotcut after seeing a couple of YouTube videos about it. I watched some tutorial videos and they refer to a 3D Text filter. When I go to Add Filter, no 3D Text option is listed, Has it been removed? It looks awesome!"
Yes. This filter relied on a feature of Qt that Shotcut uses and which was discontinued some years ago. When Shotcut upgraded to a newer version of Qt, this filter (along with others that used WebVfx, like Text: HTML, or HTML: Overlay), had to be removed. It was last available with Shotcut version 20.07.11.
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I can stop trying to find it then! Shame, but it’s a great video editor. Glad I discovered it on YouTube.
Is there any possible other way to add 3D text?
You can use another tool to make the 3D Text, export it as PNG or a video with alpha channel, and use that as an asset in Shotcut.
What’s the tool? Sorry I am new to shotcut but it’s awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.
There are lots of tools that will do this (create 3d-text as a .png file). Just Google “create 3d text”. There are online tools where you just input your text, style it, then press the “download” button.
