Shotcut Export

Workflow

  1. Read ../../references/EDITOR_PROJECT_EXPORT.md.
  2. Use the advanced editor manifest for multitrack editing or optional MLT filters/transitions.
  3. Export with:
python scripts/editor_project_export.py PROJECT --target shotcut --require-sources
  1. Confirm the output has main_bin, named Shotcut timeline playlists, shotcut:projectAudioChannels, a main tractor marked shotcut=1, background track, audio mixing, and declared media/effects.
  2. Keep media resources project-relative.
  3. If a specific installed Shotcut version must be certified, open the generated file in that version before claiming import success.

Done

A structurally valid Shotcut .mlt project exists and represents the declared editorial state without reverse-engineered or undocumented private data.
