Cannot create proxies for videos

[SimPaulJack]

I’m not sure if this is just me for some reason (wouldn’t be the first time) but when I try and make a proxy, I get the below error in the log:

[hevc_nvenc @ 00000138a224fb40] Loaded Nvenc version 12.1

I was able to before on 231129 (I uninstalled and reinstalled), but on 231215 I keep getting this issue. I also notice I can’t just drag and drop a video file in the playlist anymore but not sure if this is related.

Anyone else seeing this or know if I’m just missing something?

Thanks

(And yes I disabled my AV and even ran shotcut as admin)

Turn off hardware for proxy in Settings.

Yea that worked! I didn’t think to change that since I know it worked in the previous version as I tested it (multiple reinstalls). Oh well, I’ll just let them process for a while as I’ve already spent too much time on it.

Thanks!

Ha! I just RTFM on your post about proxies and I was just hitting my head against a wall anyways by assuming using the GPU would have even benefitted me (assuming this still holds true for the current versions). Though a bit old now, my CPU can easily handle it. Hopefully others will see this and not repost the same question! → Proxy Editing

I reproduce it. It broke with the FFmpeg upgrade. I fixed it for the next version 24.01.
