Proxies not being saved correctly?

[shotcut]

I started to work on this, but when analyzing the code, I found it already prioritizes a project folder and this does not reproduce. Again, Shotcut’s definition of a “Project Folder” is ONLY when you use New Project > Start. It is not simply the directory where a .mlt file is. When you use a proper project folder the log shows this:

[Debug ] Mlt::Controller::setProjectFolder project folder “/home/ddennedy/Videos/tests/test proxies in project folder”

@Hudson555x Your log shows

[Debug ] Mlt::Controller::setProjectFolder project folder “”

That means it is not a proper project folder. Your MLT XML file shows

<property name="shotcut:projectFolder">0</property>

A 0 value means it is not. It must be 1. It is not sufficient to enter text into the fields of New Project. You must click Start.

Project Management

Introduction Shotcut does not provide very much in the way of project management at this time. Rather, you are required to manage many aspects of this. There are a few things you should know: Shotcut saves to a project file in a text format called MLT XML. (Technical detail on that format can be found here.) The project file does not contain any of your media. Rather, it only links to your media files by file system path and name. There are 3 different kinds of projects: Clip If you put an…
