Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing export failures in Shotcut after updating to macOS Sequoia on my Mac Mini with M-series chip. When attempting to export slideshows using hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding, the process fails immediately. I’ve tested this across multiple projects and different versions of Shotcut with the same result.
I prefer using hardware encoding H.264 because it reduces CPU usage, keeps my system running cooler, and completes exports faster for my workflow.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a solution since the Sequoia update?
Just as a side note the H.265 hardware encoding works but it’s not suitable for my workflow. Thank you.
