What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)?
Shotcut 25.01.25 installed from AUR
Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
GPU effects doesn’t work in Wayland with RTX 3060 and latest nvidia-open drivers on Arch. It works in X11. Also tried Nvidia proprietary drivers but no difference.
The log shows the following error:
Shader compile log: 0(77) : error C7614: GLSL ES doesn’t allow use of reserved word sample
Not sure if this is a Shotcut issue, or a Wayland/Nvidia issue, but I thought I’d bring it to your attention. Thanks
The AppImage doesn’t work either. With the system package I’m able to open Shotcut, but the moment I interact with the timeline it crashes. If I open it again, turn off GPU effects, and restart, then it works fine with the CPU.
However with the AppImage I’m not able to run the program at all. It freezes immediately upon opening and gives graphical artifacts until I close it.
Other than a list of codecs, the only thing that stands out from the log is the following line:
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/Task.qml:79: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘status’ of null
I forgot to mention my DE is Plasma.
Edit: When running the system package it still gives that same line, but like I said the system package is able to open so I don’t think that line is relevant. There’s nothing else in the log.
Good to know. Can you share it here? Hopefully someone will see a hint.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a system with AUR and Nvidia to reproduce your setup. Can you post a screenshot to show what the graphical artifacts look like?
Wow! That’s really crazy. And when you disable GPU Effects it works normally?
That log file is not correct. The first line should be:
[Info ] Starting Shotcut version 25.01.25
Are you grabbing the file from here? ~/.local/share/Meltytech/Shotcut/shotcut-log.txt
Also, just to be clear, for “GPU effects”, you are referring to the “Settings → GPU Effects (unstable)” checkbox?
I suppose you can’t uncheck the box if the UI is in that broken state. In order to restore to defaults, you can delete/rename this file: ~/.config/Meltytech/Shotcut.conf
That will turn the GPU effects back off.
Sorry, here’s the correct log file after opening the portable package. shotcut-log.txt (37.4 KB)
Yes the AUR system package works when I disable GPU Effects “Settings → GPU Effects (unstable)”
Thanks for working with me on this. From the log, I can see that Shotcut thinks everything is good. Otherwise, we would usually see some messages about graphics errors. So that’s a hint. Unfortunately, that doesn’t give us any hints about what is causing the problem.
I’m not sure how much energy you want to put into continued troubleshooting. It would be understandable if you just want to use Shotcut with the experimental GPU mode turned off.
Here are some other ideas to try if you want to keep troubleshooting:
Try Wayland with your onboard graphics to see if the problem is specific to the 3060 hardware/drivers or Wayland. I see you reported that the problem does not occur with X11, but maybe we would learn something.
