Possible to create a non-rectangular, uneven image?

Help/How To
1

I have a shot of a laptop on a desk. The laptop is not “square” to the camera. I’d like to insert an image over the laptop screen so it looks as if a video is playing. That means the right edge of the image has to be shorter than the left edge. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Wally, someone posted a link a while ago to download a few effects to add to Shotcut. One of those effects was called “Corners” and it did just what you need. Unfortunately I can’t find that discussion again. Maybe this will ring a bell to someone else ?

Natively Shotcut can’t perform this action.

@Hudson555x yep, that’s it. Thanks !

@Wally here you’ll find a bunch of filters (In your case, look for the “corners” filter) and instructions on how to install it.

I used that filter a while ago myself on an older version of Shotcut and it worked pretty good.

Thanks, everyone! Installation seems easy enough that even I should be able to do it. I’ll give it a try and let you know.
