I made a couple time lapses a month ago using the image sequence feature. It was buggy but I could eventually get it to load whole image folders. I believe since then upgraded to new version of Shotcut. I would like to make two more time lapses but now I can not ever get the folders to load, they only partially load, either about 1/32 or 1/8 of the file folder of anywhere between 800 photos and 1500. The two lapses I originally got to work used 1000 to 2500 images. Ive tried converted the Jpgs to Pngs but to no avail. The original lapses that worked I used Jpgs.
I’m having this same problem. My folder has 240 PNG images. At first, they were named 0001.png, 0002.png, etc. then I tried changing that to: character_ball_001.png, etc.
All 240 images make it into the viewer and from there, onto the timeline. But outputting from either the timeline or the playlist, only 229 images are converted into frames in the video output.
So, other than naming conventions, do you have any other suggestions?
Resize the clip? In the timeline or the viewer? How do you resize it? I thought it was automatically set to whatever length was appropriate for the number of frames?
I ask because I suspect it’s got something to do with using a 24fps preset. Whenever I click on Properties > Image Sequence, the Export Frame/sec box goes back to 25fps. I reselect my 24fps preset again before exporting.
The clip is 9:14 in length and when I look at the difference in frame count between 24fps and 25, it’s the number of missing frames.
What is that? Choose something in Settings > Video Mode other than Automatic and start a new project. If you use Automatic, then something unexpected might be happening. If you start a project using Automatic using something other than a video clip, then it defaults to 1080p25, which sounds like what you are experiencing.
