I can't find the loop function...

Well I’m flummoxed. I feel like Quaid’s face looks in my screenshot.

I can’t figure out how to make the loop function work.

I’ve read, for example here: Player > Loop

I don’t see the ‘Set Loop Range’ option under the Player menu, and i don’t see the Loop button in the Player controls, or on any screen (Player, Editing, Audio, etc).
Please see the attached screenshot.

I’ve also tried using the keyboard shortcuts ‘i’ for “Set Zone in” and ‘o’ for “Set Zone out”, which appears to work, but when I do Ctrl+Space for Play Zone or Ctrl+Shift+Space for Loop (or any other keycombo I’ve tried), nothing plays/happens.

What am I doing wrong?

I’ll also say that trying to zoom in on the timeline to any significant degree seems impossible. I’d like, for example, to be able to zoom in far enough that a ten second range in an hour long video stretches across the full width of the player. The most zoom I am able to achieve is nowhere near that zoomed in. Any tips?

I’m sure I’m doing basic things wrong here and I apologize for being such a blockhead. Thanks in advance for any guidance. Also if there are some good, concise primer tutorials (webpages, pdfs, videos, whatever) on how to get decent with the Shotcut workflow, I’d appreciate that too.

Probably your version is too old.

Dang, thanks. I guess because I’m on Windows 7 on this machine.
Per the download link for Win7 on shotcut.org:

“The last version to support Windows 7 & 8 is 22.12.21”

I wonder if the newer shotcut versions actually work on Windows 7 (and just aren’t supported/expected to work). I’ll try that and report back…

No, they do not

Yeah, thanks. I just tried and when launched it throws a .dll error.

Shoot…
Anybody know a good, simple utility for Windows 7 that can edit video with audio and add audio FX, like shotcut…and has a loop function for editing?
