Hello I have trouble to install shortcut on Linux 17.2.
Dowloaded Shotcut to downloads.
When i try to “open file” in downloads the “archive manager” opens a folder “shotcut”
That i try to unwrap(?) en creates a “shotcut folder” in “downloads”.
This contains a “folder shotcut” and an (folder) “icon shotcut”.
tried also in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:haraldhv/shotcut
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shotcut
There is no Shotcut installed.
Please help…
Linux portable tar users :
No install required,
simply extract the archive and run it. You can drag the Shotcut folder to copy and move it wherever you want. If double-clicking the icon in your file manager does not launch Shotcut, open Shotcut.app, and try double-clicking the shotcut shell script. Do not try to run bin/shotcut directly. You may need to install JACK from your distribution. Here is a page that lists some required packages for specific distributions
From : https://shotcut.org/download/
And click on “Show downloads for GNU/Linux | macOS | Microsoft Windows | All” ->“GNU/Linux”
To me it works.

I’m not pretty sure, what you mean with: …“gives”… (Where? What?)
Currently I’m working with Win7 creating 3D-models, so I made two pictures from my Linux Mint 18.1-64-KDE…
As you can see, I’ve made a folder “Shotcut”, wherein I downloaded the txz-file(s).
I unzipped those and…
…here you can see, how it looks like on my system.
All I, and actually also you, need to do then is to double-click on “Shotcut.desktop”. (“Shotcut.desktop” is a script, and you need to make it executable)

Hello Earlybite,
Thank you for your reaction! Danke fur deine antwort!
in “downloads” there is this folder of “Shotcut”. Here is the screenshot.
I gonna post this first to see how it look likes
Then "unwrap/extrack (?)" (Uitpakken):
I also tried with:
“libjack0” and “libjack-jackd2-0”
sudo apt-get install libjack0
sudo apt-get install lib-jackd2-0
When opening the folder “Shotcut”:
Double click the icon “movie cutboard with green note”, nothing happens!
Double click “shotcut.app”:
(can’t upload the next screenshot because the max as a novice is reached…
First:
What you have done with that “Shotcut.desktop” file? Do you have renamed it?
Second:
The original/vanilla file “Shotcut.desktop” is executable?
It needs to executable!
My Exec part: Exec=sh -c “$(dirname “%k”)/Shotcut.app/shotcut “%F””
Your Exec part (was): shotcut %F
Third:
What you have shown in one of your pics, is the text content of “Shotcut.desktop”. So, why is GEdit starting?
Fourth:
I would recommend to delete your current download of “Shotcut”, download it again to have a vanilla one (and make a backup from that vanilla download), decompress it by default and be sure that the file “Shotcut.desktop” is executable (Right mouse button -> Properties -> Permissions / checkmark Executable).

I just tested on Mint 17.2, and it is no longer compatible. I will have to update the download page. The last version that works is 18.10:
