Hi,

Maybe I got a solution for you. Just started using Shotcut in Opensuse Tumbleweed and I’ve got the same issue.
Melt and melt6 are installed:

zypper pa --installed-only | grep melt

i | packman | melt | 6.4.1-9.10 | x86_64
v | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss | melt | 6.4.1-2.4 | x86_64
v | packman | melt | 6.4.1-9.10 | i586
v | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss | melt | 6.4.1-2.4 | i586
i | packman | melt6 | 6.4.1-9.10 | x86_64
v | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss | melt6 | 6.4.1-2.4 | x86_64
v | packman | melt6 | 6.4.1-9.10 | i586
v | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss | melt6 | 6.4.1-2.4 | i586

Location of the binary:

rpm -ql melt

/usr/bin/melt
/usr/share/man/man1/melt.1.gz

So I just got guess that qmelt is the same binary as melt.
Created a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/melt /usr/bin/qmelt

And test is qmelt work as a command:

qmelt -version

qmelt 6.4.1

And now go back to Shotcut, export the project. Should work now.

May its best to file a bug…

Symlink do not work. I guess WebVFX framework is needed. I build it from source and install, but qmelt fails to start with segmetation fault. Shotcut 18.03.06 fails to start too (after installing the framework).

You are reporting about problems in bad builds that we do not make or take responsibility. You need to report it to your Linux distribution. Yes, WebVfx is required.
