This is odd.
Edit: The only thing “odd” is me. There was nothing wrong with Shotcut. User error all the way!
Where do you apply the SPR filter?
On the video clip? On track V1? On the Output?
I tried to replicate with a video clip on V1 and a text clip on V2
- With the SPR applied to the video clip > Only the clip is rotated on the exported video
- With the SPR applied to track V1 > Only video clip is rotated on the exported video.
If I apply the SPR filter to the Output, the video and the text are rotated on the exported video AND in the Preview.
I’m using Shotcut version 25.12.2 (beta) on Windows 10.
I apply it to Track V1, not to the clip itself. I’ve been doing it that way about as long as I’ve been using Shotcut and I never got this behavior before. I don’t even know how to apply the filter to the Output.
Strangely, I changed it to be exactly 180° and I got the same result in the output.
It has not changed. The problem is that you are rotating the entire frame that includes the text. You really should use a separate text clip on a track above instead of adding a text filter to the video clip. Or you might have filters in the wrong order; that does matter. You probably want to rotate before the text.
If you are using rich text, when that filter is active the rich text editor may not reflect other filters such as rotation. That might be why preview looks different than export because you are always in the rich text editor if it is the first
Finally, if you only need to rotate by 90, 180, or 270 you should use Properties > Rotatation on the video clip; it is much lighter.
No, that wasn’t the problem. I was not rotating my separate text frame. And I rarely if ever use the rick text editor anyway; I get better results outside of Shotcut for rich text.
I agree about using the properties for 180 degree rotation, although I notice you can’t apply it to the track as a whole
