Description

I have met this issue earlier, too. This time, I have a long video - almost five hours long. The project has 41 + 1 input clips. The timeline has three video tracks. One track has the video clips, one track is for an image and one is for a text. I want the text and image to be present during the whole video. So I started dragging the end of the clip. That worked up to some degree and then, stopped working.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Shotcut 21.08.29 with a nearly five-hour project containing 41+1 input clips and three video tracks on Ubuntu 21.04. Start by investigating the timeline's clip-end dragging behavior for long projects and use the supplied application-log excerpt for context. Done means extending an image or text clip to the full video duration remains possible and reliable.
