I want to start putting a few promotions up onto an existing large SmartTV we have up on the wall in our clubhouse.
I have access to videos and stills, and was wondering if Shotcut is the kind of platform where I can create something where the videos are playing continuously on 2/3rds of the screen, whilst I set up a slideshow kind of feature on the remaining 1/3rd showing latest offers, news and features of the club.
Shotcut does not play something continuously indefinitely. However, you can make what you want to show, export it as a video file, and then play the exported result in a media player that can loop indefinitely.
@JonathanR Shotcut is a fantastic editor, however if you need more scheduling and things of that nature and have a spare PC I’ve had excellent results mixing videos from shotcut with Risevision(https://www.risevision.com) at the free tier as a signage platform(I’ve found smart tv’s lacking for a lot of things…)
Once again thanks for the answers on this. I have been having a watch of some of the tutorials and I am going to have a go this weekend at setting something up.
You also might want to look at VLC Media Player https://www.videolan.org/index.html
You can create play lists with VLC if you’re looking something that’s free.
hey rise is free too but yes I use VLC for non internet connected players regularly with the boot options on startup, bitch to change if you get past 3 or 4 though
