GNOME Shell made changes that breaks the relative path hack used in the .desktop file. I think they do not want people to use uninstalled software/portable app bundles. Use Shotcut.app/shotcut instead (but NOT Shotcut.app/bin/shotcut).
Linux portable tar users : No install required, simply extract the archive and run it. You can drag the Shotcut folder to copy and move it wherever you want. If double-clicking the icon in your file manager does not launch Shotcut, open Shotcut.app, and try double-clicking the shotcut shell script. Do not try to run bin/shotcut directly. You may need to install JACK from your distribution. Here is a page that lists some required packages for specific distributions.
1st of all, thank you very much to you all for answering so soon.
What is hte shotcut shell script? (I attach a screen capture with the folder Shotcut.app, which is in the folder shotcut, which is in the folder Downloads)

Your menu should be updated with the desktop file and typing shotcut should bring up the option to launch it. However, you can also manually launch by double clicking the desktop file inside /.local/share/applications.
OK, here is my tip with portable on Linux as it was intended. It does not require any command line work, but it depends a little on what your file manager is. Since you are using GNOME (or something based on it), it should work. After I extract the zip file to my desktop, navigate into Shotcut.app, right-click shotcut and choose Run as a Program. Yes, that easy.
Not too surprisingly, killing the four instances of shotcut, and launching Shotcut again, brought Shotcut back to reasonable performance. And exiting Shotcut left the two processes, presumably associated with the launch, still in the list of processes.
I use Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, 64bit, I recently upgraded my system. I removed shotcut and tried to install it again because snap would not update it. I know about snap issues about updating apps but it is annoying.
Well, if you prefer to use the terminal, you can use the snap command to perform the installation.So, open a terminal from the main menu or press CTRL + ALT + T keys and execute:sudo snap install shotcut --classicAnd after entering the appropriate password, the download and installation process will begin.As in the previous method, you can run it from the main menu.
An alternative is to use AppImage, which is not really an installation, but it is also useful to have it on Ubuntu 20.04You can download it from this link or using wget in the terminal:wget =shotcut-linux-x86_64-201031.AppImageThen open your file browser and run it by double-clicking.
FYI that message is not important. This optionally loads at runtime if you have the appropriate hardware and driver. I test the Linux release builds on my PopOS 22.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 where they work. There was a time when most Linux users were savvy enough to help troubleshoot problems. Sadly those days seem to be gone, but the pitfalls of desktop largely Linux remain. Hint: in a terminal, use source source-me if using the portable tar version, and then use gdb shotcut or strace shotcut to debug.
Hi everyone. So today I found out shotcut, which I have been using together with openshot for about 2+ years now has had voiceover since the dinosaur era. I am trying to learn how to use it and I followed a video about it but the options do not work. I tried ALSA, PulseAudio (I do not see Pipewire which I believe is the one being used right now on Ubuntu 22.10).
I have no problem to install Shotcut running Appimage, Snap or Flatpak. But I expect to learn how to install Shotcut on shotcut-linux-x86_64-220130.txz package. This is my first time running .txz package.

Unofficial package for shotcut
This package will simply install the official release from shotcut.org into /usr/lib/shotcut (including all dependencies), and have it listed together with the other applications.
I am fully aware that this is not the preferred way of packaging, but due to time constraints the shotcut developer does not wish to support the number of configurations required from a proper debian/ubuntu package. Importing the official tarball like this is a compromise that gives the convenience of apt for installing/upgrading while staying in line with the official releases, at the expense of a large package size.
So I looked for something simpler. After brief unsuccessful experiences with avidemux and shotcut, I installed openshot. I could tell right away this was a lot closer to the level of functionality I needed and it had an "early, good releases of iMovie" vibe. Unfortunately, when I added my MP4 file, the previewer would start close to real time speed for about a quarter second and then slow to a crawl. No effects, no added tracks yet, just hitting play with one mp4 on the timeline. Weird.
