How Do I Export Properly?

[SeNorSpicyBoi]

So, I just finsihed clipping together a video on shotcut for the first time and when I go to export the video, it finishes and when the file is played in a media player all there is to see is a black screen. I’m exporting as a .mp4 file and the quality is set to 100% (it worked the first time I exported it as a .wmv file but the quality was garbage so I cranked it up to 100). The project plays just fine in shotcut, but something is happening during the export process. What could be wrong here?

See this.

Export settings for high quality

Greater than 97% with H.264 and possibly HEVC produces a file that is not playable in some media players and is discouraged (same goes for lossless/H.264) unless you understand that limitation. With that said, anything over something like 85% and less than 99% is commonly considered visually lossless if not truly lossless. This means, you are not really gaining much improvement if your goal is to share it on YouTube. Maybe amf isn’t one of them. Of course, that depends on your hardware. …

I just rendered it again at 95% and I got a video that is playable but it stutters with the audio and video every couple of seconds. I’m gonna try rendering at 90% to see if it helps, unless this is a different problem that someone is familiar with on here.

Try disabling parallel processing.

Where do I do that?

Edit: nevermind I found it

Finally got it to work! 90% processing and parallel processing off. Thank you so much for your help. Not only do I have a nice video, but I can finally get all of these videos off of my harddrive.
