Warning: building shotcut should only be reserved to beta testers or contributors who know what they are doing.
The fastest way to build and try Shotcut development version is probably using Qt Creator.
To make this easier, we provide SDKs on the web site with each release that includes Shotcut and all of its dependencies. These SDK pages also include setup instructions and tips on how to compile MLT and other dependencies after updating.
First, check dependencies are satisfied and various paths correctly set to find different libraries and include files (Qt 5, MLT, Frei0r and so forth).
Build Makefile:
qmake PREFIX=/usr/local/
Compile shotcut:
make
make install is partially working.
Best way to test shotcut is to execute it from source folder:
./src/shotcut
If you want to translate Shotcut to another language, please use Transifex.
