When playing back my videos in Shotcut, it often sounds choppy and stuttery, almost like it’s trying to play back at half speed or something (it’s not set to this). Sometimes it does this, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s inconsistent, but most of the time it is choppy. Sometimes it seems like, maybe if I open it and just leave it for a long time, it will suddenly work. I do not understand.
Are you using the hardware decoder (Settings → Preview Scaling → Use Hardware Decoder)? I’m also seeing warnings about not finding hw_pix_fmt on “C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/The Big Rays/In Stereo - Music Video/In Stereo Music Video - VHS Capture/f81c2684363b1022ae985c4735a429df - Reversed1.mkv”, not sure if that matters at all. And at the very end, it says the audio timed out…do you know why that might be?
I don’t think the Reverse video thing matters, because this happens in every session I create. That file is kind of a random thing for this particular project. But it happens in every project I try to use.
I do have Hardware Decoder on. It happens whether I turn it on or off.
I’m not sure what the Audio Timed Out means, honestly! That’s really weird.
You can use MediaInfo to check, but looks like it’s likely constant frame rate.
If this happens with every session, can you try doing a session with e.g. an MP4 file (you can use yt-dlp to download a YouTube video for testing if you need to). Just trying to figure out whether it’s the files or something else.
Like, basically, let’s start from a “known-good” configuration. If you download this video and import it into a session, does it play without stuttering? I exported that video out of Shotcut, so I figured let’s start there
I have noticed this behavior sometimes, my solution has been to turn off hardware decoding in the proxy setting and later turning it on again after the command settles. It has worked most of the times.
