When I double click on the x64 .exe file, it shows the splash screen saying “loading plugins…”, but crashes anyway.
OK. That’s annoying.
When you run Shotcut, it creates a debug log file. Even if the program did not completely start, hopefully there is something in the log. The log is located at:
C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Meltytech\Shotcut\shotcut-log.txt
Can you please look for that log and post it (or the last 20 lines) here?
Earlier my computer was so bogged down with programs, I had to restart it, and that fixed it.
I am having the same problem. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Shotcut.
I do not have any other programs open. I was using Shotcut earlier in the day just fine.
Here is what my log says: shotcut-log.txt (6.9 KB)
Thanks for adding that, but I wish you had opened a new thread instead of reply to this old one. In any case, since it used to work I suggest to
- reboot and try again
- If that did not work, run the installer and there is a checkbox option to remove all of shotcut settings in the registry. Turn that on, complete the install, and try again.
The reboot worked. Then it started crashing again. I tried the second remedy and now it is working! Thank you.
