What is your operating system?
Linux on Chromebook

What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)? Is it 32-bit?

21.03.21

Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
(Please be specific and use the names as seen in Shotcut, preferably English. Include a screenshot or screen recording if you can. Also, you can attach logs from either View > Application Log or right-click a job and choose View Log.)

Opening certain MP4’s - then it will try to make a proxy for that file (needed due to lowish spec PC)

As soon as the job starts the time stays at 00:00 but the % is going up by the multiples of thousands!

Hi, it’s nothing to worry about, it happens with Gopro files (something to do how ffmpeg handles the proxy creation of HEVC files I think?) and mine can report many thousands of percent, it doesn’t affect the time it takes to create them or how they are used. It looks weird at first but the proxies created are exactly the same.

Thanks for the reply. So it still creates them OK in the end? I thought it was erroring so i canceled it after a few minutes each time

Although I use a Windows10 machine and not Linux I would say it will create them fine, certainly try creating a few and let the proxy creation run till the end to see if any problems occur.

It was also reported here… Proxy Creation Status Has the Wrong Percentage - #2 by shotcut

Thanks
