Hardware acceleration on Intel without FlatPak

Help/How To
1

Hello, I’ve reinstalled recently (from Ubuntu to POP OS!) and tried Shotcut (.appImage version) with hardware encoding enabled on my Intel machine, but still, not working :frowning:

Last time (mid-year 2020) I’ve already addressed this issue:

Question:
Will hardware encoding on Intel work in Ubuntu-derivate OS’s when using non-FlatPak Shotcut version? Anybody achieved to have it working?

relevant part from application log:

… or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot! #McZ
