Help with stabilization!

Hey there! I just discovered this great app. Could you tell me how to change stab parameters? ChatGPT gave me some code (mostly how to reduce accuracy) to type but problem is that analysis and encoding are two different passes and the app does it all at once so i can't type both parameters in the same line and am stuck.. How to deal with this?

Title: Hardware Acceleration (Intel QSV) greyed out on Arch Linux (Works on Windows 11 / Works in other Linux apps)

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with Shutter Encoder on Arch Linux where the "Hardware acceleration" dropdown menu is greyed out and stuck on "none". I am unable to select Intel QSV, despite it working perfectly on my system.

System Information:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-1235U (12th Gen Alder Lake, featuring Iris Xe Graphics)
  • OS: Arch Linux (Dual-boot with Windows 11)
  • Shutter Encoder Version: latest version

The Issue:
On Arch Linux, the "Hardware acceleration" option in Shutter Encoder is greyed out and cannot be changed from "none". Therefore, I cannot use Intel QSV to encode. However, on my Windows 11 partition on the exact same machine, the Intel QSV option is available and works flawlessly.

I have verified that this is not a driver or system-level issue on my Linux installation:

  1. Drivers are installed: The i915 driver, intel-media-driver, and oneVPL-intel-gpu (required for 12th Gen Intel QSV) are all correctly installed on my Arch Linux.
  2. QSV works in other apps: Intel QSV hardware acceleration works perfectly in other Linux applications on my system (e.g., OBS Studio, and when using FFmpeg directly via the terminal with -init_hw_device qsv=hw).
  3. VAAPI works: Standard VAAPI acceleration works fine on my system, but Shutter Encoder specifically lacks the QSV option.
  4. System FFmpeg fully supports QSV: My Arch Linux FFmpeg is compiled with --enable-libvpl. When I run encoding directly from the terminal using the system FFmpeg, Intel QSV works perfectly and utilizes the iGPU: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_qsv -global_quality 23 -c:a copy output.mp4 (This encodes at a much higher FPS using the Intel GPU, proving the hardware and drivers are fully functional).
  5. Replacing the bundled FFmpeg doesn't fix the UI: I replaced the bundled FFmpeg binary inside Shutter Encoder's directory with my system's FFmpeg (which supports libvpl and QSV). However, the GUI dropdown remained greyed out.

how to fix this?

Thank you for your time and for this great software!

How to downscale vertical video from 2160x3840 to 1080x1920 without distortion, cropping or black bars?

Hi Paul,

First of all, thank you for creating Shutter Encoder — it's an excellent tool!

I have a vertical video (2160×3840) that I want to downscale to exactly 1080×1920 while keeping the original aspect ratio. I don’t want any stretching, cropping, or black bars — I just want a clean downscale of the original content.

I tried setting:

Scale → 1080x1920 or 1080:1920

Scale mode → Adapt

Force display → 9:16 (and also tried without it)

But the video still comes out stretched/distorted.

Could you please tell me the correct step-by-step settings to achieve a proper downscale in this case?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Pixel art to animation sequence?

So I learned how to put the images and turn it into a mp4 in the right framerate, the only problem i have is that the animation I'm making is in 480 x 270 and when the program upscales it to 1920 x 1080 gets a bit blurry. Does anyone knows what setting I could use to keep all quality?

Shutter Encoder shortens duration of some clips at random

When converting multiple clips, some of them get randomly shortened (it seems to shorten longer clips the most) for example 40sec clips is converted with duration of 23sec only.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I just want to convert my LongGOP H265 clips to Prores for faster editing. Not changing much.
