## Did you find a bug?

Please use our step-by-step bug reporting page: https://openshot.org/issues/new/ to troubleshoot a potential new bug. This guide will instruct you on how to delete you log files, test with the latest daily build, and search for duplicate bug reports (in case someone else has already reported this same issue). At the end of the guide, it will help you create a detailed and useful bug report for our development team and volunteers.

## Software Developers

OpenShot uses GitHub to manage issues and source code: https://github.com/OpenShot. Please read our guide on Becoming a Developer for a step-by-step guide on compiling OpenShot and making your first pull request on GitHub.

## Made with Love

OpenShot Video Editor is a volunteer effort and a labor of love. Please be patient with any issues you find, and feel free to get involved and help us fix them!
