Exporting is stuck on a null value

Help/How To
1

I’m trying to export a video like normal, but for some reason even after sitting over night the export process has not changed at all. I tried looking up this issue but everyone had a different problem and or solution. Parallel processing IS disabled and this is what the activity log says.

any advice?

Maybe it is this where FFmpeg library which Shotcut uses appears to have trouble reading one or more of your files. Unfortunately, it does not say which one. Maybe look over your files and try to remove or convert the most suspicious ones. I know fragmented MP4 as used in streaming, but maybe also some capture tools create it, or a YouTube downloader. Hopefully that gives a hint about finding suspicious files. You can convert the file within Shotcut’s Properties panel.

I’ll take a look at that once I get home. The annoying part is that I did the exact same thing last night and made no changes, then let it export over night again and this morning it exported fine… So I’ll check again and see if I can prevent it from happening again. Unfortunately this is just my curse with all software lol. Thank you for the advice though!
