I know that I can assemble all video, audio, and pictures files into one directory. A nice feature would be to provide a clickable zip file that contains all these support files in one location. An older program Tech Smith Camtasia does this and it is very convenient. With time file locations change and that will prevent reload of this video edit salvo just using project reload.
This way I only have to keep track of this one zip file to recreate this project. In fact, unzipping this file automatically opens up the app.
I wrote a utility program for Shotcut that might do exactly what you want.
It can archive all of the project files in one zip-like file even if they are scattered in multiple folders and can restore the project files either to their original locations or to a single folder.
I would invite your feedback as I am actively working on improving this tool.
Here is a link to the topic in the Resources section.
You can include feedback in that topic and/or open an issue on the project’s github page.
Thanks.
It runs on Linux as well as Windows.
I’ve tested the Linux version with Shotcut under Linux Mint.
When you download the release from github, included will be a binary for Linux and Windows. You can simply ignore or delete the Windows binary, and just run the Linux binary in a folder of your choice. I also provide full source code, but you can ignore that as well.
The readme on the project page provides basic instructions.
