Hiking the country

Short but nice hike in the countryside, before the latest heatwaves.

Learnt that is was partially burnt through recent wildfires, so not sure it will have survive as it was.

Hi @effel

Beautiful landscapes. And as always, excellent editing :+1:

I noticed thought that there is a green spill around your “Like & Subscribe” overlay.
No doubt a classic case of the Chroma Key filter struggling to remove a green background.

If you are interested, I made a similar overlay a while ago that has a transparent background.
No need to use a chroma key filter and the borders are crisp and clean. And to be honest, I just recreated one I saw in a YouTube video.

This ZIP contains two .mov videos. One with mouse-click and bell sounds, one without sounds.
like-subscribe-bell.zip (6.7 MB)

And here’s a demo showing the overlays used at their original size and position, then with a Size, Position & Rotate filter to resize them and move them on a lower part of the screen.

Hi @Musicalbox, your video above is not playing for me. But I downloaded it - and it’s a MP4, so it should work. The same video you posted in a different thread works. It’s weird. Is it me?

PS I see the thumbnail screen though: The video refuses to play when I press PLAY. Audio plays.

Just like AVI and MOV, not all MP4s are the same. This is HEVC. You need to install the HEVC codec from the Microsoft Store to play it in the browser. Otherwise, Shotcut can play it if downloaded.

That explains it. Thanks. Also the downloaded video plays for me in Windows Media Player.

Nice video, @effel .

Hmm. The only thing I did different from usual for that video is switching Processing Mode
from Native 8-bit CPU to Native 10-bit CPU.

On 8-bit CPU, I was getting color shifts on the background track when the transparent clip was playing.

10-bit processing mode now defaults to 10-bit video encoding, but 10-bit H.264 is not well-supported. So, export defaults switches to HEVC where 10-bit is commonplace and well supported (except on Web outside of Apple; it can work but sometimes depends on some things such as browser, OS, or plugin).
