I’m new to Shotcut but found it really odd that by simply dragging a couple photos down and appending them to the end of my single line timeline about 6 clips into it…
That the new Photos displayed Ok but all clips added right after them were all blank white screens as I played them back… I couldn’t figure out why… I could then move their position on the timeline and edit them… But, I couldn’t do anything else with these new clips UNTIL I deleted them and the .jpegs and saved and closed Shotcut / Restarted it and pulled in the video clips alone without any photos… That worked. Apparently There’s something important I missed about adding Photos to your video properly…
Can you provide some Screenshots with properties tab of the included jpg-pictures? There might be new jpg-formats SC cant read but i would guess its something else. What is the size of the jpgs and where do they come from (device)?
Thanks very much for the reply… The .jpeg format is I believe a standard one but I’m not sure
here is a screen shot of it’s properties… it came from hitting the " Photo" button on the Camcorders fold-out screen using a 3yo Canon HF Vixia G10 camcorder…
Yes, I did watch this little tutorial yesterday… and a couple others, and do see that it’s typical to put JPEGs on their own separate track so I’ll try doing that in the future… Thanks A lot,

I meant the properties tab in SC. Select a photo on the timeline and open the properties tab in sc.
I used jpgs on the same track as video and had no problem. You have to choose the length they should show up in SC. The default can be 1 frame or 5 sec. If you set them to 1 frame, theres hardly anything to see obviously.
