This is weird, I have been using shotcut for about two weeks now and this has never happened before. I start my project like I always have and create my 4 video tracks and one audio track, everything is going great until I want to add another image on top of track 4’s image.
So I add my 5th video track to place the image over top of all the other images and videos but there is a problem. A permanent black background now appears behind the image regardless of the size of the image. Normally if I resize the image, I can make it into a size that allow you to see the things behind it as well, but now it is just a black background.
I have tried it with images that already worked on track 4, but they still appear with the black background on track 5. I tried creating track 6, 7, 8, but every subsequent track that I try to insert the image into add the black background that covers everything behind it.
I can still insert images onto track 1-4 without having this problem, this is driving me nuts! The only similar problem that I saw was a person who ended up just restarting the project over again and I really don’t want to do that. Anyone have any ideas?
