HELP : Export failed with exit code 3

Another thing to do (mentioned by me elsewhere) on tight memory issues is to encode outside Shotcut:

  1. in Shotcut, start an export job and stop it
  2. right-click the job and view XML
  3. save XML with .mlt or .xml extension (It now includes a <consumer> element that contains the export parameters including file name.)
  4. close Shotcut
  5. open a command line window
  6. run like /path/to/qmelt /path/to/xml from step 3 (how this is done exactly depends on OS)
