What is your operating system?
Windows 11
What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)?
25.01.25
Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
The problem I have is with the “Split At Playhead” feature. Whenever I use this feature, for some reason, it sends my video back to the beginning, instead of splitting at the correct frame.
BEFORE SPLITTING (Frame I want to split at):
AFTER SPLITTING (Beginning frame??):
I have no clue why this happens.
This is a very basic and common operation that basically works very reliably. I suppose your source video file format does not support frame accurate seeking, and it needs to be converted. You can try it and see if it helps. With the clip selected, do Properties > Convert and choose the default “good” option. Wait for the job to complete and Shotcut will replace the timeline clips with the converted version.
What is the frame rate of your project? See Timeline > Output > Properties
30 FPS
And the frame rate of the source file? Select a clip and see Properties
30 FPS
Weird, I am at a loss and unable to reproduce your problem. Try starting over. Restart Shotcut, do not open the project, add the converted clip to the timeline, and split it somewhere. Result?
Separately, does the converted clip play as you expect it with the video changing? Curiously, all of timeline thumbnails in your screenshot above are the same image.
Weirdly enough, after adding the effect, “Speed: Forward only”, the same bug starts to happen. Splitting breaks again.
The converted clip does play regularly, but cutting it is just wonky.
You just answered yourself. You were asked to provide steps when creating the bug report, but you did not mention this. This is a little known quirk . Speed filters are time-based and with keyframes. When you split, you are changing the timing of keyframes. Split does not about speed- and time-based filters, and these filters do not know about Split. Maybe we will improve upon this in the future, but in the meantime, if you do not need to change speed over time use Properties > Speed as a workaround, or add the Speed filters after mostly done with edits to the clips you are affecting.
Oof, apologies
Fixed it by using the effect and exporting each video by themselves, which probably wasn’t the greatest way to do it, but it got the job done.
I just moved to windows 11. Can’t get the waveform to split at the playhead. I converted the file but still no luck. I went to another laptop still on Windows 10 and it works fine. Since I’m on 11 and the latest update for shotcut and tried converting the file - .MOV without any better result, but still works fine on my Windows 10 Machine - I really thing this is a bug. It would help if I had an idea of when this might be fixed, meanwhile, I’ll be moving all my work to the Windows 10 Machine.
