How do I animate stuff?

I'm making a stupid sketch with me and some friends, and I want energy/lightning to channel into the skull at 0:02, then through the wizard's body, and then through the staff from the tip of the staff the other person on the ground.

How do I do that? If it's very difficult, could someone do it for me?

Also, the tracker feature won't work. Whenever I use it to mark the skull, it just keeps floating around some dark area instead.

How do I stop Openshot from crashing?

Yeah, I think I bricked it. For context, I recorded a 3 hr long video using OBS, which ended up being 14gb and wanted to make it a timelapse so I imported the video into OpenShot and it was working but when I tried to increase the video speed, it crashed and hasn't stopped since, I even reinstalled it and the same thing kept happening

I have some issues with OpenShot

The program itself works actually pretty good, but i have 2 big problems that can be beginners problems but i don't know how to resolve

Problem 1: The automatic functions

I don't know how they call but when i insert an image or a video and just move around the image, the program automatically makes a keyframe of animation, and sometimes i just don't want that, also i have to say that if accidentally put an image in another image in the same track it automatically makes a transition effect

Problem 2: Copy and paste problem

In this other problem, i have 5 tracks and i just want to copy and paste a image from track 1 to the track 1, but when i make the Command+V, the image doesn't paste beside the other image in track 1, it goes on track 5 for some reason, even if i have other image or something in that track, it stills being pasted in track 5 and interrupts the other image

Im new at this program and also at editing, i haven't checked to well the sub reddit so, if there was an actually solution or something, sorry, i'm new lol

Performance/Cache/Preview Settings

Hello, I'm trying to edit a large video (~2hrs) and openshot keeps hanging every time i try to make even the smallest of edits. it asks to wait or force quit.

Things I've tried:

  1. set project down to 480p at 15fps and preview even lower
  2. Increased preview, cache and performance settings, see screens .

For reference I have a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M × 24 with 64 GiB ram. I feel my system should be able to manage fine. When I monitor my system i see openshot is barely using cpu/memory.

am i screwed or what settings can I change?

Not exporting video!

the export button lights up... then nothing

even when I load up project there is a buffer wheel, but here? nothing!

It's not even freezing, I can still click around the screen fine, it just will not export at all!

please help because this is very much pissing me off.

Openshot does not use the full length of my video

Hello, I have a problem, in openshot, but not only here: When I load a video in the format "*.VOB", I get only 35 seconds of the video although it is much longer. How can I tell openshot to load the full length of the video?

Thanx

Ui being weird

So the app was working very well at first, its my 1st time using it and it was really nice to use and easy to learn and then​ i saved my project​ just to have a little break and when i open it again (i opened the desktop shortcut) to continue working, the ui is HUGE but i go look online and i find where to scale it down, so i put it on 75% as a safe guard because i thought it would be better to be safe and make it smaller and now it looks like this, any way to fix this? :( ​
