how do you cut out a segment in a video?
An other “simple” edit that seems buried under a bunch of stuff - the first thing people want to do is rotate a video that appears 90 deg off. I tried every intuitive thing, searched for menu options etc and nothing. I then searched here and someone said could be done with “size, position, rotate”. Oddly, that must be for another program besides Shotcut because I have no such option.
Yikes
Look for a basic Shotcut tutorial on youtube, it’s gonna be way faster than having people directing you in text form. These are all very basic techniques that you will 100% be shown in any tutorial.
To rotate, depends. I assume your entire video is in the wrong orientation, if so, then in the Properties panel (select the clip first) there’s a Rotation field, choose one of the 4 options there (probably 90 or 270) and you should be all good.
If it’s just a section then select it and open the filters panel where you can search for “size, position, rotate”. – Again, this is the most basic thing to do in the program, it should be explained in the first minute of any beginner tutorial.
To cut out: you add your video to the timeline, move playhead and press S (for split) at the start of where you want to cut, then again S at the end, and right click the segment and choose Ripple delete.
