I’ve used Shotcut several times before and never had a lasting problem with exporting. Until yesterday. A warning sign from AVG antivirus came up while I was working with Shotcut and warned me about melt.exe. This was a ransomware, AVG claimed. I trusted AVG and blocked it. Another warning sign, roughly around the same time had appeared too, claiming ffmpeg.exe also was ransomware. However, after having blocked these two files, I was no longer able to export any files from Shotcut. At 0% I get a fail to export. Every time. So, my questions are; are these two files ransomware? Or are they Shotcut files and AVG mistaking them for ransomware? Either way, I need to be able to export files but obviously don’t want to put my computer at risk. I updated my Shotcut to the latest version after this to try to solve the problem. No change. I’ve restarted the computer several times and have run a virus scan, with negative result. What do I do now? Also, I have made sure to uncheck the box for parallel processing.
Here’s one of the logs:
