Shotcut crashes A LOT, do you have the same experience ?

Hello everyone,

I really love using Shotcut for video editing, it's been a while since I've started using it and I love almost everything about it. The only thing I don't like about Shotcut is how prone it seems to be to crash at the most random time. Putting a new clip ? Crash. Cutting a clip (not even deleting) ? Crash.

Those situations happen all the time. I don't think it is a RAM or CPU issue since I used the Task Manager to see if the ram overloads but it never does, same for CPU. I've got the same issues when I use my Windows PC and my Linux PC so I don't think it comes from there either.

It really slows my editing down and it gets on my nerves when I have to launch Shotcut for the thirteenth time in an hour.

Do you have the same experience and this is something you have to deal with or do I have a problem to fix with my PC ?

My video won't export

Whenever I click the export the video it takes me to the file manager to put it in a folder, but when I choose a file for it to export to nothing happens, no error message or nothing, I tried lots of ways but nothing worked, does anyone know why?

Shotcut issues Error: the job XML is empty! on Debian 13 ARM64

This is a known issue as seen on this: https://forum.shotcut.org/t/error-the-job-xml-is-empty/44054 But is there a fix on it ? Or another way to get a newer version ? The sudo apt update && sudo apt install shotcut tells it is already the latest version and Flatpak does not work on my install. I could not find an ARM64 AppImage, only x64 for Debian on Github.

I found a workaround, run LC_ALL=C melt -progress yourproject.mlt -consumer avformat:output.mp4 for a terminal, but not ideal.
